    Having many "older" Nikkor Lenses it was great to find that Nikon was making a Digital based camera (Nikon D810) so that I could still use my older lenses, and that I could purchase that body new. I have used Nikkor Lenses since the 1960's. Thanks for having the body available.

    Contacted them since their prices on TVs are ridiculously lower than anywhere on or off the internet. Turns out they are not an authorized dealer. What does that mean. That means you run into all sorts of issues if you have ANY problems with your product, that's if you even receive a product. Just do your research here and you'll find out there have been bad press coverage, to media scrutinizing them about their false advertising and upsell etc. My experience was horrid, and I was hung up on, when I caught on to their scheme, and was fortunate enough to call the finance company and complain and tell them my purchase was done under false advertising and commitments and without my authorization.

    The price advertised later becomes different because you are asked to pay a 10% insurance fee on the set which by the way, will take 3 weeks to get to you. Really!? NO THANK YOU! Check please. I'm out. Abe's of Maine, running out of New Jersey is a consumer's nightmare. But, if you're a risk taker and willing to take your chances and buy a $4k TV set that they'll sell to you for $2,400, then I don't know. That's the price and gamble you'll have to take and do. I stuck to my ground and said no to the $10% insurance and they folded, which was a red flag for me. Then when they told me it will take 5-10 days, and I told them I will have a serious problem if this will take longer because of reviews I've read where people are hung up on, not replied to when they have not received their item for weeks. Then Ted changes his answer and says 3 weeks. Give it 3 weeks.

    This guy could give two dog patties about you and what your needs are. I've seen some bad stuff, and this place takes it up there at the top. I'm so lucky I was able to get out. I'm still worried and will see what happens. But I escaped the house of horrors. To their defense, however, the company I work for claims they bought a bunch a flat panel TVs because of the cheap prices and that we got all of them. So, if you're a risk taker and not buying it for yourself or with someone else's money, and have a lawyer in case something goes sideways, then I'd say, give it a try and if they get stupid on you, you let them have it and be a pain as bad as you can. Shameful business if you ask me. Do your research and stay away. Not worth the headache.

    Ordered a TV on 9/22 and received an invoice like most internet retailer experiences. That was followed up by yet another e-mail requesting I call them. I learned that they would be adding a "required" $174 for insurance and handling due to shipment size. I protested this as I was not clear on this at the time of purchase. The rudest CS rep I have ever experienced, Jeff **, chided me that it was in the terms section when I accepted (I later spoke to a 2nd CS rep and she showed me the very bottom of the fine print that 95% of us get lost in). Jeff kept interrupting me and talking over me. He also stated that the TV I ordered, while the page said it was in stock, was no longer available, and tried to upsell me on a more expensive model, I refused.

    I later called back to talk to another CS rep, Jennifer. She was very apologetic and helpful and confirmed the unavailability of the lower priced item, AND she was willing to give me a discount on the next model up, in-stock, and add a free wall mount and white glove service. Relieved, and satisfied with that price, we created a new transaction.

    I wish I could say that was the end and everything has turned out happily. It has not. It's almost two weeks later and I still don't have the TV. Abe's uses AM trucking for delivery to my area, Richmond VA. AM did NOT pick up the shipment until 9/26, then it sat in their NJ w/h for 6 days before shipping to 2nd shipment point in Charlotte, NC, on 10/2. After calling AM again today, I am told the TV will not leave Charlotte until 10/9 or 10/10, thereby sitting in Charlotte for 7 days. That's the earliest. I won't know that this saga is over until 10/9 or 10/10. No, this has not been nothing but a terrible experience with Abe's of Maine, AND AM Trucking, and it's still ongoing, sigh.

    I ordered a body only Sony Alpha a6500 camera. The Abe's price was better than other online stores, but not suspiciously so. After I placed my order, I received an email that I needed to talk with the store, no reason given. I was on vacation, so I didn't call right away. However, the next day, I was called. I was told that they had to verify that I ordered, which I confirmed. Second, they wanted to sell me a battery for the camera! I didn't see anywhere (in reviewing the item listing online) that a battery was not included. I was offered two options--a regular battery and charger for about $120 I believe, and a high capacity battery and charger for $150. I selected the more expensive one, because I figured it wasn't that much more, and I needed a battery for the camera.

    In further research, I discovered that no one else sells this camera without a battery, further, the price I ended up paying was exactly the same as other outlets, like Best Buy, Amazon, etc. When the order was received, what I received was a standard camera in the retail box. The battery doesn't indicate that it's anything other than a regular battery that comes with the camera--it doesn't say high capacity, or have any distinguishing number that shows it's a higher capacity battery. In fact, it's the battery that's listed in the accompanying user manual. Other websites sell this battery for $50, by the way. I've asked the company about this matter, but have not yet gotten a reply. Regardless, I feel this is deceptive sales practices--a way to lure people in, only to compel them to purchase additional items for a lot more money.

    Read the fine print. They said they would send ‘retail packaged’ camera and lens. Suddenly the price jumped 30%. Camera and box had differing S/N’s. Box was for a camera kit when my order was only for the body. The lens was a separate purchase. Those box and lens S/N’s matched. Neither had Nikon warranty paperwork. I got “Gray Market” equipment Nikon cannot warranty or repair in the future. I should have spent the extra $150 I ‘saved’ and bought elsewhere. Sending this order back would incur a $405 restocking fee, plus shipping costs. Buried way down in their policies paperwork they mention they are not authorized sellers for Nikon, Canon, Minolta, and many other brands of various electronics. So, I’m stuck with this “pig in a poke” purchase. Be wary when dealing with them.

    This company is running a scam from their website. If you google them there are many reviews, but they pay for fake reviews to offset the true negative ones. Even here on consumeraffairs.com all reviews are 5 or 1 star. The 5 star are from accounts with 1 review lifetime total. IT'S FAKE.

    READ THE 1 STARS.

    The scam they run is to advertise a low price and then when place your order they email you saying need to call JEFF ** at 800-992-2237 EXT ** to confirm the order. This rep will tell you that the item needs a battery (it's supposed to come with it) and other accessories and if you deny he will say what you purchased is on backorder for 6 weeks. When I asked to cancel the order 'Jeff' stated he CANT and to send it back or refuse shipping for refund. THIS IS PART OF THE SCAM. Their policy is to take 15% for any return or refused shipment and they charge you the shipping cost both ways!

    Jeff became extremely rude when I asked to cancel the order and refused to do so. He also claimed to be the manager when I asked to speak with one. When I pointed out that this is a scam and fraud he agreed like it was no big deal. This scam needs to be reported to their merchant services provider and local PD. Only after threatening to report this fraud was the order cancelled and refunded.

    They show a picture of a retail store and provide an address on their website. There is no real physical store. The address is of their dropship supplier. LAST THING beware that they are NOT Authorized Retailers of most major brands such as Canon, LG, Nikon, Panasonic, Tamron, Sigma, Samsung & Sony. YOU WILL NOT GET MANUFACTURER WARRANTY.

One review stated that I would get a call from them with attempts to up-sell from what I purchased, and then be forced to either pay more or cancel my order. Some reviews even bought in, and paid the extra. Enter my gullible self. I placed the order, and eagerly awaited the confirmation that the order was shipped. I received an email, and quickly opened it to learn that I had to call to "confirm my order".

    I called "Jeff" at extension 272, and was asked if I would like the retail version of my lenses for an additional $300? In asking what the "retail version" was, Jeff informed me that the lens comes with a soft case and lens hood (for... $300). I told him I was all set, and he asked why, because "it's just better". I again told him no, and I was quickly placed on hold for about 5 minutes. When Jeff returned, he told me that they were out of one of the lenses I had ordered, and it was back-ordered for 6 weeks. I asked him about the other lens, and he states that he is now out of that one too. Before I could say much more, Jeff told me he was canceling the order, and hung up.

    Needless to say, I'll sooner check yard sales or the occasional dumpster before even considering wasting the energy on my battery to browse that scamming mess of a business. Do yourself a favor. If you found yourself considering any of the equipment they have for sale, go out to your car and slam any appendage of your choice in the door. By doing this, you'll experience MORE pleasure than buying something with this dumpster fire of a "business".

Extended warranty the company Abe's use is the worst as I have never seen such poor rating at BBB and the comments all the same bad. Abe's is also not responsive after they sell and they push you like a used car salesman. Good price maybe but worry about warranty and shipping time. We to pay a bit more is worth the money.

    Abe's of Maine prices seem much lower than anyone else but that's because you don't get the camera you purchase. Just before delivery they call you to say that camera is on back order and you have to buy the whole kit. This is especially true if you're buying a body only. This happened to me twice but I'd forgotten or they were operating under a different name. They had me in their database. I managed to get them down to $30 above the original price but that was after much effort on my part. The kits may be a good deal for a novice photographer who doesn't have much but it's not an ethical way to do business.

One camera, they advertise a great deal but when I order it on the phone they try to jack me up by making me buy items which normally comes with the camera such as a battery and the charger at an exorbitant cost. I wanted the camera so I complied and got everything. On this last purchase which came only a few weeks from my last one, I ordered another camera online but after waiting ten days I still saw no confirmation of having been shipped so I called. They did not ship it. They then try to sell me the charger and the battery again. I told them to send me the camera period. I will wait a couple of days and check again to see if they shipped.

    Several days ago, I purchased a Sony XBR-65X900F television on Abe's of Maine's website.

Instead, my order was accepted and I was informed that delivery would be in "7 to 10 days". Today, I received email from Abe's telling me to phone their 800 number "complete your order". I called as instructed and was informed that they could not ship my order to me because my address is "not in our service area". They then made some vague offer to ship it "UPS or some way" for "at least $200". I ordered this tv from Abe's because I had good experiences with them many years ago.

    I have used Abe's of Maine before and have had a positive experience. I wanted to upgrade my current camera and was surprised to see the Memorial Day sale offering what I am looking for at a significant savings. I guess when I get the merchandise, I can further comment but so far great!

    I ordered the Nikon AF-S Fisheye Nikkor 8–15mm f/3.5–4.5E ED Lens, which on their site, is advertised at $1,099 showing "In Stock" and a "12% discount"...

    After placing the order, I waited 3 days and then received an email requesting me to call their customer service - I did, and spoke with a guy named "Jeff", who informed me that the lens I bought was a 'non-retail version' that did NOT include the lens cap, end cap, hood, or bag that comes with the 'retail version'(!?), and asked if I wanted to upgrade for $150 (which would have brought the final price inline with the normal MSRP). I declined and found the end caps and hood for $60 combined on another website. He said fine, and he said he would place my order for shipment.

    Two days later, I received a call from their customer service telling me that the lens was actually out of stock and they didn't know when it would come in. I immediately called 'scam' on them, and demanded to talk with a supervisor. They tried to connect me with one, but she apparently was 'in a meeting' and I received no further email from them.

    The next day I placed several calls and Customer Service was unavailable. I was able to get a hold of "Jeff" again through his hotline (he also seems to answer the "Sales" line), and after a few attempts to be patched through to a supervisor, read the other reviews on ConsumerAffairs, realized I was being played, and called back to cancel my order. Order was promptly cancelled, but not without a bit of wasted effort, and otherwise could have bought and received my lens elsewhere by now. Waste of time and effort.

    I ordered a camera lens. They called me and said the product does not come with lens covers or a tripod ring (the tripod ring is shown in the pictures.) The price with the items would be matching the price at B&H or Adorama as I discovered. He then threw in a free filter which had the desired result of me not completely considering what was going on. I then checked the manufacturer's website (I know - should have done that first) and discovered that Abes of Maine (located in New Jersey) was not an authorized seller of that manufacturer. I called Abes back to cancel - it had only been 15 minutes. I asked if they were an authorized seller of that manufacturer's product and, after repeating the question, admitted they are not and said they can service the product for 1 year.

    As far as cancelling the order, they first claimed they couldn't because it already shipped. I repeated that I was cancelling as I don't think it really had shipped that quickly. He then said he couldn't cancel because it was already 6:00 pm (EST). It was only 5:50 and I pointed that out. He then said what difference does that make. I said I am cancelling and he then responded by saying he couldn't cancel because it was almost 6:00. When I reiterated my cancelling of the product he acted mad and asked if I understood English. I doubt they are authorized sellers of any manufacturer's product which require it (such as photography equipment). So if you desire the manufacturer of the equipment to stand behind their product with their warranty - do not buy from Abes of (New Jersey) Maine).

    I ordered a lens through this online retailer. I received a telephone call asking me about whether I wanted a version that has everything that should come with the lens or the version that has basically nothing like no hood, no tripod ring, no bag etc. I said that if that’s the case I didn’t want the lens. He then asked, “Aren’t you interested to know the price with have everything included?” I asked him how much then he said that was going to be over 500 dollars more. I said, “Cancel the order.” There was nothing on their advertisement of the lens that it was just the lens tube nothing more. What a waste of time that was. Avoid!
