Excited to receive my new gear. Abe's has the best prices and I was excited they had what I wanted in stock! Not sure why Abe's isn’t the most popular photography retailer on the web, but this is my second purchase.

Easy website, great price. Look forward to delivery. Look forward to more purchases. I will need lenses, batteries, memory cards and a case too. I am new to Sony and the mirrorless camera family. Abe’s makes it easy. I will keep you informed of the progress with purchase and delivery. Thank you for a great experience.

I just received my camera, lens and other goodies yesterday. I ordered another lens today as the one I ordered directly from Canon is on back order with no time given on when it'll be back in stock. I need it now! I've been happy so far with the customer service, availability of products and prices.

Lowest price in USA. And it is tax free. The only thing I felt regret is you do not have the right lenses to match the body and short of the other accessories kits. I will come back to search for some of the other parts and recommend friends come!

Where do I start? I could start saying WOW!! That was something beside waste 1 hour of my time without be able to purchase the camera over the phone. Everyone who answered early today they need take class of anger management. I called. After 5 minutes of waiting time to get connected someone was answering and put me on hold and when they got back with me, they were rushing, and bothered about my questioning about the buying, about the Canon RP or R, I mean I didn't even tried to shopping or bragging about I was determined to buy, so I called to buy, but the first person when I called was annoyed when I immediately said "I need to purchase a camera and have a question about some lenses." So she answered in a nasty way telling me "ok which lenses?" So I took a second to answer and she start to go crazy, screaming at me over the phone... she went "hello, speaking, hurry up!"
She was cutting me off and she was only the one to scream, I said calmly, "yes I am here." She goes again, "Ok speak up! I laugh little and I told her I said "did you just screamed at me and having an attitude, I am trying to give you business and if you stop screaming I want order the camera ok?" I mean it was bizarre... so she transferred me to another person and the other person transferred me to some voicemail after 5 minutes of waiting time. So I had to hang up and try again for the second time, while I have no time to play these kind of games.
Again someone answered after 2 minutes of waiting time, I asked about the lens and when it will be in stock and want to order over the phone, and also when the a different lens will in stock? The guy went "I don't know, call in couple of weeks, I got go now" and he hung up. I cannot believed...hahaha. So I called again, no one answered. I called a fourth time, no one answered again. So I waited 10 minutes and called again, and some else answered, this time more determinate, I told him, "Please order and the camera for me, and I need to pay with the card," so asked few question about a second lens when was available for the camera model and guy sounded irritated and wanted to hung up, he told me just do that online, and when I said wait I also need to order something else, but the guy hung yawns and he actually said "I am tired, I got go" and he hanged up on me again.
So at that point I give up ordering over the phone and went to my meeting defeated, with no success of purchasing. So hours later went online and did some research about the lenses compatibility and I went on Abe's of Maine site and purchase on my own. Now I will need to order more lenses and I am not so sure to order from abes of maine again after this experience and the way they treat me as customer it's disgusting and I rather pay 100 bucks extra from Amazon than dealing with all that horse-crap. No thanks.

You good camprar with you, unfortunately I don't speak English so I found it a little difficult to make the purchase and the confirmation of this purchase, I got a call from one of your employees but I couldn't communicate with him for not speaking in English, maybe if if you had people fluent in Spanish it would be easier for your clients of other nationalities. I am doing tourism here in your country and would like to receive this item before returning. But the rest went well. Thank you. Amaury

I had purchased a 500 mm zoom lens and because I’m temporarily living in VT there was a discrepancy noticed between my billing address of PA and the shipping address of VT. I received a call from a rep who wanted to verify the purchase which I greatly appreciated! He also noticed the hood I’d ordered was the wrong size for the lens I was getting and corrected that. He went on to mention a couple other offers and gave me a 3 year warranty at the 2 year price. All are reasons I returned for my most recent purchase.

Upon ordering the Canon 90D, imported model, for a good price. One that y’all pay Google to get it to be at the top of the page when I searched, I was called by a sales person who wanted to know if I wanted to buy the US version for a price that was a hundred or so higher as it came with a warranty and a color box. The sales person, while very nice and professional, really tried to steer me to the more expensive one by saying that the gray market one might not come in on time. I understand drop shipping just fine but how y’all sell things that you do not have is a bit strange. I can buy the exact camera from Canon on their website for the same price except the one they have is a refurb. The person is going to call me back today to let me know if the one I ordered will be in by the 25th of the month. Not an ideal purchase IMHO.

Tried numerous times to add the special financing and it did not work. Called for assistance and was told someone would call me back and that did not happen. Called today and was told that the camera I was trying to order was completely sold out. He would put my name on the waitlist and have someone call me when the camera is in stock. When I checked online it said that the camera was in stock. Bad experience so far.

Abe's is my go-to whenever I need quality camera equipment, and they've never disappointed. This time I was offered a discount on a camera from a friend on another site. I agreed, paid, and then played the waiting game because their inventory was inaccurate and they didn't have the camera I needed. So I had to cancel, and once again, Abe's filled in where others couldn't. Quality products, quality service, and always bailing me out of a jam. You guys rock!

I ordered a Canon EOS R mirrorless digital camera because Abe's $1,549 price was $250 cheaper than everyone else for the camera body only. This should have been a major red flag. The next day I got an email from Michael at Abe's saying that I needed to call and verify the purchase, so I did. I was then informed that I had ordered the international version and not the US version. I said that wasn't an option on their website and that I would have never ordered an international version. He told me I was wrong and that it is there (I checked and there is no such option).
Then he asked if I wanted to order the 2 hour or 5 hour battery. I was surprised because a battery and charger is supposed to come with the camera body. He said, "No, it isn't." He also said he could sell me the camera with an accessory pack that was discounted to $1,799. This is EXACTLY the same price as the other authorized retailers like B&H Photo and Canon itself. I told him to keep the order on hold so I could investigate further.
Well, on Abe's OWN WEBSITE Abe's has this in the description for what I ordered: "Included LP-E6N rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides approximately 430 shots per charge, and in-camera charging is supported via the PD-E1 USB Power Adapter." In other words, their website is totally deceptive. I checked with Canon and found that they are not an authorized Canon dealer which makes the warranty void. Further checking showed similar bait & switch tactics used on others and this scathing review by NBC News: **. Run, don't walk away from Abe's!

The guy who called me tried to upsell me several thousand more than my original order, then said the original order was a Japanese model and all words were in Japanese.

Placed an order for an canon and 2 lenses and less than 24 hours was contacted regarding my order that one of the lenses was on back order. If it was a kit why wasn't it in stock?! He then tried to get me to up my order or cancel the lens all together. I told him I purchased this lens from Best buy that he was trying to get me to spend another $300 on. He came back with, "You bought it off there," like yelling at me for it. He was very rude and demanding to make a decision and didn't give me time to think. I was at work and needed to talk with my husband. The rep stated that the camera I ordered was coming from China, which I wouldn't have ordered if it had stated that on the website! He said I would have to pay more for the retail version?! As I was taking notes and told ADAM I was so I could talk with my husband, he made the snarky comment "I'm just trying to help but you if you don't want it". At that point I just told the guy I wanted to cancel my order.
He went off the deep end and called me rude and started insulting Land O Lakes (the company I work for that he got off my voicemail when he left a message). Absolutely has nothing to do with the purchase. I simply stated again I was taking notes and when he made that comment I was done, this is not how you conduct business. He went to push back and say I was the problem and I asked him for a refund and a email confirmation that my order was canceled. He said maybe, if I was nice he would send it and if not they wouldn't. Like what in the Hell!!! Who says that? He stated they have world class customer service. I wouldn't take it if it was given to me at that point. I had to ask 11 times (yes I counted) for him to cancel my order, he just replied, "We'll see."
I have never been more mad, worst customer service EVER!!!! I work in customer service for a living and this individual needs training beyond compare. I'm this company has had great from individuals that have purchased and I'm happy for them but this should not happen ever. Not to mention if I said I bought something from another site to go with this camera that is my business and none of this reps. He shouldn't bash me for it.

If you want to buy anything from this company over the phone you need to deal with Ted. He's a total bait and switcher. The website will give you a special "deal price" to hook you, but then over the phone they will try and trick you into spending 700$ more for the same exact item, saying that the cheaper version is from China and the more expensive one is from Japan (???). Talk about false advertising!
I bought a lens and then asked if I could return it, they said I need to pay a restocking fee or change for something else. So I HAD to talk to Ted again. When I denied an exchange and asked for a return, Ted got annoyed at me over the phone and hung up. Now I'm trying to get ahold of anyone to approve the return over the phone because it can't be done via email. They are an old school family run business and I can't say they are all shady, but this Ted guy is a total scammer. Avoid this company if you can.
