If I could give Abe's of Maine zero stars I would, that's how dissatisfied I am with this company. I was on the market for a Zeiss Batis 18mm f/2.8 Lens for Sony E Mount and I found a really really good deal on Google - through Abe's of Maine. New the Zeiss Batis 18mm runs from $1,500+. Abe's had it on sale for $1,196 brand new with free shipping. What a deal right?! I thought so. So I purchased the lens through the website. Once I submitted my card information a phone number came up stating my purchase could not go through and to call the number to verify payment. So I call the number and I am connected to a representative from Abe's of Maine. The representative never once told me what happened and why the payment didn't work, he just stated he was going to connect me to a different line. I said okay, once the representative connected me to the other line he hung up.
The line he connected me to ended up being my bank - Chase. My bank representative ended up cleaning the my purchase - due to thinking it was a fraudulent activity and they tell me to resubmit payment for the lens. I hang up with my bank and go back on the website to resubmit payment for the lens. Once I do this, I notice there are two open orders for the same lens. Abe's of Maine ended up pushing the first order through and then the second. So I call to try to get my first order canceled. I was on hold for 20 minutes when I realize they have a customer service email. I end up emailing asking them to close the first order. They ended up closing the first order and didn't even notify me that it was canceled. I found out by looking at my account on the Abes of Maine website. Whatever, doesn't faze me. I'm still happy about my purchase and CAN'T wait to get my lens.
A few hours go by and I get an email from Ted. The email is requesting that I call him to verify my order. I figured it had to do with the cancellation of the first order. I call the next day. When Ted answers the phone he just answers it normally "Hello". I advise him I was calling regarding an email I had received from a representative by the name of Ted that advised to call this extension. His response is "oh that's me, what's your order number." I provide it to him and he goes on to ask if I meant to order two of the same lenses. I tell Ted no that I only want one and to cancel the second (which I thought had already been canceled anyways). Ted goes on to ask me what type of camera I have that I will be using the lens for.
I tell him and he goes "Oh, well you have the American model of the camera and this lens is actually from "so and so whatever country he said" model. It won't have all of the same features as that will work with your American Sony model camera." I respond to Ted and advise him that that's interesting because the website says NOTHING about it not being an American model lens and it won't work with my Sony model camera. Ted goes on to ramble about the differences - I literally can barely understand him because he is just giving me a sales pitch. I then ask him how much the "American" model lens is and it's an additional $500 dollars. At this point I'm super frustrated so I ask Ted to just completely cancel my order, that I will do more research. He says okay and then goes on to ask me if I am a new customer with Abe's of Maine. I ended up hanging up.
I go back on their website and see NOTHING about what Ted was talking about. I waited an hour and didn't see confirmation that my order was canceled and it says it's still "Processing". So I call the customer line and am connected with someone. I ask if my order is still processing, they advise it is and these lens are on back order, which is why payment hasn't been extracted from my bank account. I ask what the ETA is and she tells me there's no ETA as of now and that it could be a day to a month, who knows. I say okay, and hang up. I need this lens for a trip to Thailand and I figured, well I will give it a few days and check in. I ended up checking in today. Call the customer service line and request an ETA on the lens. The customer service person says please hold and let me look into it. I am on hold for 7 minutes and the phone is just ringing in the background.
I hang up and call again. Ring ring ring and someone picks it up and hangs up on me. This happened 3 times. I end up writing on the email and ask that my order be completed canceled. Within 3 minutes my order shows as canceled. This is a long review but I wanted to give everyone a detailed experience with this company. I highly recommend you do not purchase from this company. The Customer Service sucks, they lack communication, everyone on the phone sounded miserable and they just upsell you or try to trick you into spending more money. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

It was good for the most part. But honestly, the website itself is a bit bland and not that fun to navigate through. The bundles were good ok but could have used more variety and more pictures of each item.

The only star reduction I can place here is for a lack of line item pricing being visible on the receipt from a previous order. I ordered a number of items and the representative was friendly in assisting that order. The receipt only had a price next to one line item while every other item had a $0.00 price association, making me question the accounting leading to my total. Aside from that, Abe’s is awesome!

I searched and search all over the network and all the camera stores and this was consistently the best price offered. I have waited a long time to purchase this camera so I took my time.

On April 4th, I wanted to purchase a new Nikon D850. I had gotten a loan at my bank specifically for this purchase. On their site it states that "All Products include USA Manufacturer's Warranty unless otherwise stated." The website said that the camera body was in stock for the price of $3,249. Nowhere in the description of the D850 did it say ANYTHING about this camera being a non-USA model that was to be sold in Southeast Asia. The person I talked to (Jeff **) then told me that it was in fact not in stock, but I could pay more ($550 more) to get it in a kit that had extra items in it. Since the Nikon D850 was back ordered everywhere, including at Nikon USA, I decided to pay the extra for the camera body since I needed for upcoming paid jobs (I'm a professional photographer).
The camera arrived 5 days later in the retail box that includes a lens (Nikkor 24-120 zoom). Upon opening the box, the lens had been removed, and the ONLY items in the box besides the camera body were a battery, battery charger, USB connection cable, camera strap, and the manual. However, there was NO warranty card in the box at all. On the outside of the box, it listed the included items, which are listed exactly as this: Strap, Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, Battery Charger, USB Cable, User's Manual, and Warranty. So what Abe's had done was to strip everything out of the box that was SUPPOSED TO BE INCLUDED in the retail kit, and then charge me an extra $550 to add them back in the box. I then sent Abe's an email on April 7, the day the camera arrived, and asked them if I was charged an extra $550 to put the supposedly including items in the box that were normally included.
I received an email on April 8 stating to call them on Monday so that their customer service department could clear up the issue. On Monday morning, after being on hold for almost 45 minutes, their customer service rep finally answered, who was also Mr. **, the guy who sold me the camera over the phone. What transpired next ended up being completely surreal. He started yelling at me, calling me a liar, and told me that he shipped me "exactly" what I ordered! I told them that I would then report them to the BBB, and then he started yelling at me not to threaten him! THIS was their "customer service" rep I was trying to talk to! I would NEVER order a gray market camera that costs several thousand dollars! A gray market camera comes with no Nikon USA warranty, can't be serviced at all in the United States, and if Nikon USA comes out with a firmware upgrade for the US model, it won't work on mine.
The serial number for this camera body, after some internet research, showed that THIS camera was supposed to be for sale in Southeast Asia (It started with the numeral 8). All legitimate cameras for the US market start with the numeral 3. A couple of days later I sent their service department an email asking them to respond, and as of today (April 16, 2018) they have not answered back.
I went and did a little more internet investigation and found out that they have dozens of complaints on the BBB, and literally thousands of complaints from all over the internet. Even NBC News did an article about their scam tactics. So to sum it up, I ordered what I thought was a USA Manufacturer's Warranty version of the Nikon D850 body, did NOT receive what I expected (bait and switch), and wasn't informed that I was ordering a gray market camera with no warranty, and since the transaction was more than $400, this has become felony fraud. And this company continues to operate with impunity in the state of New Jersey and needs to be stopped cold.

Looks like a great deal on a 65” TV BUT after you order you will be notified that “insurance” must be added - website mentions possible insurance but since it is not included in agreed price you assume it is not required. WRONG. They called and said “insurance” was $388.00! Really reduces the bargain price and is VERY deceptive - they obviously know what the price of this alleged insurance will be and they just want to call and upsell you - turns a great experience into a terrible one. I still kept the order but the deal was not nearly as the one I agreed to online.

Purchased an item for $245. Received an email to phone to verify. Upon phoning told that although the item is showing in stock, it's not and it's discontinued. Then told they had a $600 lens for $400 they could do instead. "No thanks, please refund." "Well it's an expensive lens, maybe we could do for $375." "No thanks refund, I didn't want to spend $400." "It's not $400. Maybe you want to buy a different lens, that's nothing like the original one?" "No thanks. Please refund and cancel. I will go somewhere else and buy what I want." "Well we know where to find you." Seriously? Terrible. Seriously the worst experience I have had online. I will be writing to the BBB and leaving reviews.

Tried to purchase Canon 5D Mark IV online, then “Jeff” asks me to call so I can verify the purchase. I call, he places me on hold for 5 minutes. When I call back, he places me on a hold again. Then tells me the battery doesn’t come with the camera and it would be $129 to add a battery. I say, "No thank you," he puts me on hold and when he comes back says that he can do it for $29 instead. I say, "No thank you, please cancel the order”. Jeff then insults me and says I don’t deserve to place an order.

Do not buy from Abe's. Their website services and practices are deceiving. They advertised a lens on sale for March Madness. Nothing in the description identifies it as a "Grey Market or International Lens." I purchased online and got a call telling me my card was declined. I have verified with my bank that the card was NEVER declined for any amount. The caller then told me the lens was not in stock but he could give me a deal on a USA lens and through in some free shipping and lens filters. These items (except for free 2 day shipping) were already included in my original purchase.
I called the following day to cancel my order and was yelled at by at Stephan and told my bank was lying to me about the declined amounts. Why would my bank lie to me??!! I have since verified it with my bank. They told me the lens had already shipped by 10 am the next day even though my account showed it had not shipped yet so they would not let me cancel the purchase. They have a 15% "restocking fee" that would have cost me $150.00 if I do send the lens back. Stephen gave me a $25 refund on the lens to appease me. I appreciate that but it did not satisfy my feelings of being deceived by Abe's of Maine.
Additionally I bought a memory card holder that was on sale, marked down from $84.95 to $12.95. The photo is of a hardcover plastic card holder that will hold up to 8 cards. What I received is a pleather card holder that will hold 4 cards. A made in China (tag in it) that "MIGHT" cost $3.95 not on sale. Not only is their staff incredibly rude but they practice bait and switch with their customers.

I do underwater photography and nature photography here in Florida. I didn't have a way of insuring my camera and new lens are compatible as clearly as I would like on your site. But based on your site, I feel the Sony e-mount lens was meant for the Sony a7rII camera I have purchased. It didn't say if the body included a battery, so you might indicate that for folks. The order process didn't give me a way to express these questions, as it's nearly 8:00 PM Saturday Evening eastern time, and I doubt you are open to calls at this time. Overall it was an easy experience! Thanks. PS: a follow up email indicating compatibility makes my $3,200.00 Investment a bit more comfortable.

I recently ordered a Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art lens. The price on the website was $659. Placed order. A few days later I got a call, to confirm my order, and was told that I ordered the international lens and it did not include lens caps hood or case that comes with the US version, and may not work with my camera (that should have sent up a red flag). I was offered the US version for $849. I reluctantly told them to upgrade (that is pretty much the going price everywhere) I told the guy on the phone that there was no indication that the lens I ordered was the international version on the page for the site. (See attached photos.)
Looking further there is no other option on their website for the true US version. Just the version that is advertised. They suck you in with a good price then upsell you. Very false and misleading advertising. I will never do business with this place again. My advice would be to use another reputable camera dealer. Anyone that has bought stuff from them should check to see if you get the true US version or a grey market version that does not have a valid warranty. The lens arrived and looking at the paperwork that was included the lens, it IS the international version and does not have a valid US warranty. This is just true BAIT AND SWITCH. Do not do business with this place.

I ordered the Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Zoom Lens for Nikon which listed it was in stock. After they called to confirm order and I did not agree to any upselling, they said item was out of stock and cancelled my order. I returned back to the web page several times since then and item still states in stock. I am interested in ordering a couple of lenses, but now with this experience I'm hesitant. They do have better prices, but maybe if you don't agree to buy extra they cancel the order?

Purchased a Nikon D750 (price seemed way too good to be true) on their website. I get an email saying I need to call them. After calling them, and having an incredibly frustrating and upsetting conversation with "Ted", which was riddled with one line quips and jabs (that sound like he's rehearsed and said them a hundred times before), I find out that the camera is not a US model, all of the language in the camera is supposedly in Korean and it does not include a charger or battery. He upsells me on buying a US model with battery and charger. He then tells me that he has to authorize my card, comes back and says my bank has put a hold on it... Maybe because it was such a big amount... I tell him, not there is no hold.
Then I tell him, "I just want what I purchased." Lots more excuses and one liners. At this point I was fed up and seeing way too many red flags so I said "cancel the order"... Lots of flack from him, making fun of me and being incredibly disrespectful... He finally says that it's my bank's fault, not his... But I need to call customer service tomorrow to get a cancellation notice... He somehow doesn't have access to that. He then tells me that will keep putting the order through until it's not declined unless I call customer service tomorrow. Tells me he's heard enough and hangs up on me. SUPER shady.

Abe's of Maine listed a killer deal for a brand new Sony FS7. Placed an order around midnight while online shopping. Around 9 AM I got a call from a sales rep asking if I wanted the 2 hr battery or the 5 hr battery. Was confused by this question as a current FS7 owner because I know it comes with a battery. Then he asked me if I wanted the US version or the Japanese version. Of course I want the US version with English lettering on the body. He says that will be an extra $700 for the US version. He told me I had ordered the Japanese version without a charger, battery and other accessories. I told him I'd call back. Checked the website again. There is NO INDICATION on the website that the version they're selling is not the US full kit, as would be expected.
So the call rep was gaslighting me, trying to convince me I was in the wrong and had ordered the wrong version. I called back and told him I wanted the US version at the price I ordered at or to cancel my order. Sounded like he was used to this and canceled the ordered right away. I don't appreciate the bait and switch tactic. He called and tried to upsell me to the version I thought I had ordered. Very frustrating and misleading.

I recently attempted to purchase a Canon lens that was priced significantly lower than all other competitors. As has happened on another occasion, the sales rep, Joseph **, called me to ask if I wanted the foreign model or the U.S. model. When I inquired about the difference I was told that the foreign model did not come with lens caps or a lens hood and that the foreign model is made in China, not Japan and would be a lesser quality lens. BS!
The price on the U.S. model would have been $300 more. Frustrated, I agreed. But, as before, my bank locked out the transaction. I cleared the lock and they tried it again but could not complete the transaction. This would have been my third purchase from Abe's. I have had transaction problems all three times! Finally, I told them to just end the transaction. Five minutes later I had a completed order from Amazon. No problems with the transaction whatsoever. Abe's is a very fishy company. Previously, I purchased a body only. It came in a Kit box. This means that they stripped the lens from the kit and sold the body solo. I've made my last dealings with Abe's.

Okay, in my original review, I gave Abe's of Maine a good review. After talking to some people who advised me to use caution, I gave Abe"s a call in regards to my order of a Nikon D850. This is where the trouble started and how Abe's skirts the letter of the law. When they advertise a price as they did with the Nikon D850 they state "BODY ONLY". Now that really isn't an issue because every single company out there that sells camera bodies only still gives you a factory box, strap, battery, charger manuals etc. In other words, everything from the factory, right? I've bought dozens of camera bodies over the years to know what a "Body only" comes with. Guess what? Abe's does not!! This is what they must do behind your back: They take the camera out of the factory box and that's all you get!! See, this is where Abe's skirts the law.
They can do this because the sales ad says, "BODY ONLY". So, technically, they aren't breaking the law. However, the unsuspecting consumer gets their camera only to find just a camera!! No strap, battery, charger manual nothing! Heck, not even the camera body cap that goes over the mount!! Unbelievable! The salesman, Ted, stated he would throw in all the things the camera should come with for an extra $150. The "Full Retail Kit" as he stated! Seriously! So, for a camera that every business in America sells for $3296 including everything, Abe's tries to swindle you out of an extra $300!!
I thank God my bank does not approve of an online transaction of a high amount unless I call to verify with them. "Ted" actually called me back and asked if I called the bank to verify the transaction and I gave him a dose of reality. I cannot stress enough to you consumers out there; BE VERY CAREFUL OF ABE'S.

I was searching all over for a Nikon D850 and Abe's of Maine just happened to have one! Granted it was more than the list price, however for such a sought after item, I thought it was fair. I will add another review of Abe's of Maine once I get the item and inspect it. For ease of ordering and having the product, I will give it 5 stars.

We have made multiple purchases of our family TVs and Cameras over 20 years. Excellent experience and service and product domain knowledge. Will consider again with new receiver needs early in 2018 to complete our new home construction.

Great price on the Canon T7i DSLR. This was a Christmas special at a price that was below all other main retailers I checked that I trust! Easy online shopping with 6 months interest free. Free shipping as well. Could not be a better experience.

I ordered online a Zeiss Batis lens from this company advertise online on sale, I received an email followed by a message on my telephone on New Year’s Day January 1, 2018 stating to call them back to complete the purchase, from JEFF **. I did call back and spoke to Jeff **. He tried to sell the lens for more money. In his statements for the advertised price, it only comes with the lens and nothing else, no lens hood and case (which normally comes in the box when purchasing a new Zeiss lens).
Right away I sense that this not a good company to deal with. So I told JEFF ** to cancel my order. He informed me, that there will be a 15% order cancellation fee (which is not even completed as per the email) and, I protested about the fee, and told him that I am going to call my credit company, he arrogantly told me that they will win the case anyway and after a month will see the charges in my account. I see this as a scam to make money no matter how. Stay away from this company.

Have been buying camera gears on and off for the last 5-6 years here at Abe's of Maine. Every time when I need something I can almost certain that I can get the best deal from here. Happy customer returns. I am buying a new camera system this time and I expect the same very happy experience as well.

Looked at a dozen sites in search for the best price. Easy site to use and navigate. The prices are the best on the internet that I have found. Large selection offered. Will purchase again from Abe's.

I would have bought many more accessories (backup batteries, memory cards, etc.) had more been available. Also, I would like to see more detailed product descriptions, both in specifications and in what all is included with each item (e.g. lens hood, flash unit, battery recharger, etc.). Overall, I bought the equipment here because I saved about $500 on the total package.

LG 86SJ9570: We were hesitant to order from this company based upon the reviews. Minutes after the order was submitted my wife called to confirm the order and correct a zip code typo. She was immediately told that the unit was a "foreign" unit, but Abe's would sell us the American unit, take care of shipping and throw in a free wall mount for an additional $900,00. I told my wife to cancel the order. The salesperson wanted to speak to me. I told her that everything in the negative reviews was true and I was not going to waste my time. He then told my wife I didn't have the balls to talk to him! Every negative thing we read about Abe's of Maine appears to be true. STAY AWAY. STAY FAR AWAY. RIPOFF AND RUDE. BAIT AND SWITCH. WOULD MAKE A GREAT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

You have already bought the perfect Samsung television for your family and just need that perfect accessory to complete the entertainment experience. Abe's of Maine's solid reputation and ability to offer customized accessories for the movie and audio enthusiast got my attention particularly with the Samsung 2.1-Channel Soundbar w/ 6-1/2" Wireless Subwoofer.
I like its compact design and support for bluetooth devices. I also appreciate the fact that you can move the wireless speaker around the room. Support for Bluetooth means that this product is designed for someone like me who wants the best sound experience and the freedom to change my entertainment setup as needed. I recommend this device for anyone who wants a sound system prepared for future advancements in the way we consume audio. http://www.abesofmaine.com/Samsung_2_1-Channel_Soundbar_w_6-1_2_Wireless_Subwoofer_1000431.html
