I talked to one of your guys yesterday, maybe Todd/Ted. He was very nice to talk to and steered me in the right direction. I was supposed to call back and buy from him but I ran out of time. I wanted to get the order in as soon as I could this morning.

It was a good experience. I found that there were a few hiccups with the website. It cycled and returned to a spot where I didn't want to be. But otherwise it was a totally nice experience. I'm happy. I'm hoping that the follow through with shipping and delivery is just as good experience.

Ted was very informative and answered all my questions. He explained bundles and even though I spent more, I saved in the long run. I also like the fact that I didn't have to pay the 10% sales tax in Arizona. You were also the lowest price. Merry Christmas.

Great, easy, competitive company. Looking forward to delivery and experiencing the enjoyment of this new amazing tv. We found it on Abe’s less expensive than Best Buy, now that’s saying something. Can’t wait to receive it. Abe’s gets great reviews from Better Business Bureau so feeling confident.

I had questions about the product, and called twice. Both times I was on hold for very long times before hanging up. First time, at around 10 minutes, I was offered a call-back. I didn't do that because I thought "I'm #1 in the queue, I'll get through soon." Not so. I hung after 15 min. Second time I hung up at 7 min w/out being offered a call-back. I expect waits at this busy time of year, but I recommend the call-back option much sooner.

I hope this lens works with my son's camera. This is the 2nd time I've tried to purchase it from your store. The first time, I received an order confirmation and then the next morning an order cancellation. When I called to ask what happened, I was told the lens was out of stock and that I would get an email when they were back in stock. I just happened to be checking and saw that the website again says it's in stock but I never received an email notification. I hope the purchase goes through and the lens is shipped successfully.

They have one thing listed on their website then you receive a phone call saying you selected the 'international version' which 'doesn't come with warranty, camera strap, battery, or camera body cap.' I was excited about being financed through their partner so I said okay. I wish I wouldn't have because I found exactly want I wanted through a major retailer for $1,000 less.

I have been waiting for a long time to order the Fujifilm X-T4, and when I saw it was available and for $1,350 I could not resist any more. I first saw it on my phone and was thinking to wait till I get to computer to check it out, but your site was so fast and had everything I need it to know about the camera and the ordering process.

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. The "deals" they advertise are not worth the headaches and tricks.

Purchased only because of price, but major hesitations and have purchased elsewhere in the past because of the 10% restocking fee clause. In this day and age, it's not common to have this for a new item. I was going to purchase from you on Amazon for the additional security, but the item was out of stock on your amazon listing.

I felt the experience to be a good one overall except for one small item. I did not feel like it was clearly indicated that the X-T4 was a white box item without the battery, charger, manuals, strap etc etc. (retail version). When I spoke to Ted/Teddy on the phone the next day, it became obvious that the price was discounted as these items were not included... and I felt duped by this almost bait and switch technique of the lower price advertised which is why I did place my order through you and not through B&H which is what I would have normally done. I feel like I got taken slightly with the lower advertised price and then having to amend the order and upgrade to the retail box which was the same price as other retailers.

I wanted to purchase a Canon 5D Mark IV. They refused to give me an itemized receipt. I was told the "pro" package had Canon items. I was told I would get lens cases with the lens packages. Nope. Here are the items that were soooo cheap you can't even get that low of quality on Amazon: flash, lens cleaning kit, battery, SD card, SD card reader, charger, remote, tripod, backpack. I did not know a trip could weigh under a pound.
Now why would someone buy a camera that many professionals use and want absolute junk. But Ted the salesman's defense was that they got it for free, that's why it's cheap stuff. He clearly lied about the quality of what they were charging me for, but he also lied about what he would send me. No lens cases. When I asked him where the lens cases are, he said, "oh pouches." Uh no. I said cases, it's recorded if you don't believe me. He clearly considered me a mark. So, he put in for the warranties on the items before I even got my package and I told him I want to return the items and he said he won't refund the cost of the warranties.
I called the warranty company and they said of course they do refunds and they told me to call an attorney if Abe's was telling me these things. I called 3 times and emailed once for an itemized receipt. Never got one. They refused to get a manager until I called from a unknown number. The manager acted surprised that I was treated this way, but did not want to make it right and didn't really want to take the items back. Just don't shop here. Whatever you want to buy will have all the joy taken out of it when you get the Abe's of Maine treatment.

Worst experience I have ever had with customer service. Company is very shady, complete scam. PLEASE STAY AWAY! There’s no way these reviews on here are real people. Mike in sales is a con artist. Ordered a camera, 1 hour later called back to cancel order since they called me and told me the camera I ordered was an international model, and tried to get me to change models, and cameras, and said it would be over 500 more for a US MODEL. Then when I said, "No cancel it," he said he’s throwing in this this and that for free. Told him I still wanted to cancel order.
They said it cannot be cancelled because it was already shipped and I must wait until after I get the product, then pay a 15% restocking fee plus rush shipping fees. Company is a complete scam. Customer service extremely rude. Will transfer you to manager that does not answer and says his voicemail box is unable to accept new messages. Please do your research folks and avoid this “company” like a plague.

I purchased the Canon RF24-70L Lens from Abe's because it was $300 less than B&H. There were a few details I needed to decide on my purchase and I could not find them at Abe's; namely the size in mm of the front lens (used to purchase a polarizing filter) and whether the product came with a lens hood. To find the size of the front lens, I went to B&H and looked it up. For the lens hood, there was a picture with the hood on the product, but no "product comes with..." section. I'm taking a chance that the hood comes with the product. As a first time user of Abe's, I may have missed these details somewhere, but I did look. In the end the difference in price will be worth it, but they could have made a sale on the filter if I could have found the lens diameter on their site.

I ordered a Canon EOS90D, and a couple of lenses from Abe’s of Maine. A salesperson called the next day to advise that the camera I had ordered was a “European” model and asked if I wanted to spend a couple hundred more dollars to get the full U.S. kit with all the accessories. I felt a little weird but said yes. I got the camera and lenses, but the camera was in a box that was missing its lid with the manufacturer information. When I tried to register it with Canon the website said the serial number was not recognized. I don’t know if it’s a counterfeit, a gray market camera, stolen or what, but I reached out to the salesperson. He said he’d have a manager get in touch. I am not happy about any of this. In the end there was no savings with them anyway, I feel like an idiot. DO NOT USE THEM.

I ordered a camera lens online, then received an email to call and verify my order. When I called, the lens I wanted was an "import" lens, and not in stock. But we have the U.S. version in stock for a little more money. So my price went from $849 to $1099. He also did not explain the fact they were not an authorized Tamron distributor (my bad for not doing more research).
So, even though they sell **** brands, the products they sell are considered "Grey Market", meaning you cannot get any warranty service through the manufacturer. You have to deal with a third party. Had I properly done my research, I could've got Factory Authorized parts from more reputable dealers for the same amount of money, and would've received the factory warranty. For me, it's generally for peace of mind to have a factory warranty, lesson learned. Do your research and but from reputable, factory authorized dealers.

I wanted to buy a Canon EOS R camera, which is currently being sold by others (Canon, Amazon, B&H, Adorama) for $1799. The only problem was that I needed a lens mount adapter to be able to use my lenses with the camera, and this particular item was on 4-6 week backorder. LUCKILY (and I use that term facetiously) Abe’s had the lens mount adapter in stock AND was having a Labor Day Sale so the camera would be $200 cheaper;).... Except it wasn’t, because I received a phone call within minutes to be told that I would need to pay extra for the battery, charger, and camera strap. And since I was doing that I might as well get the regular “boxed” product (which I assumed to mean the $1799 product that everyone else was selling). I’m embarrassed that I was tricked into paying extra for things that were already included, so ultimately paid $210 over Canon’s current list price.
So stupid, but I would have forgiven myself (and them) if I’d received a fabulous product. What I received, though, was a grey market camera (no warranty) that arrived after clunking across the country in a unpadded “box” inside a much bigger unpadded “box” (i.e. definitely not the usual Canon packaging). It miraculously seems to work OK, but I’m nervous this won’t last and I’ll be stuck without a warranty. I cannot believe that these people (apparently) have been doing this for years and years and are getting away with it! Moral of the story - never ever ever buy something from someone not a authorized Canon (or Nikon, Sony, etc) dealer. And DEFINITELY never buy anything from Abe’s of Maine.

I fell into their bait and switch gray market when I tried to purchase a camera. I placed the order at night and received a phone call the next business day from a salesman who claimed that the model I purchased was an international one. "Don't worry," he said, "we have the American version" (for $600 more!) When I asked him what the difference was he told me the one I purchased would be with Korean-only menus. When I searched their site for the so-called American version I found no listing. When I told the salesman that there was no verbiage on the product page for the "international model" about the camera coming in Korean language he claimed that the tiny "Brand New Factory Fresh Import Model" was enough.
DO NOT SHOP HERE! Basically, gray market vendors will finagle a way around Canon & Nikon's very strict rules about how to list and sell their products, and will in-turn sell you a camera that is not actually backed by the manufacturer's warranty. Reminds me of the old saying, "save a penny, spend a dime." The eventual headache from a broken camera or no backing from the vendor in other unfortunate circumstances would not be worth the $100 I would have "saved" with them.

Just a few minutes later I get a call just like many other reviewers here to upsell me on what they claimed to be a US market version claiming this one includes NOTHING but the body only (no batteries, strap, etc) and the lens is a cheap non STM version (I don't think Canon even makes non STM EFS lenses anymore so I think that was clearly a lie).
Stupidly instead of just not cacelling my order, I gave in to just get the body only at a higher price that included the battery and strap and retail box and forgo the lens. The only thing good was they did send it 3 day select and got my package in 2 days. When I did open the package however, the box the camera came in was a full 90D kit with lens box but with the box opened and the lens removed (I did only order the body but it should have came in the proper "body only" box unopened). Ok so it was a brand new camera and included everything I did order but there were no warranty or registration certificates so this was still clearly gray market but they sold me on a retail version which I should have paid less for that.
I do have a strange contact dermatitis problem and certain metal objects and touchscreens give me headaches and unfortunately this camera was affecting me so I have to return it (I had an 80D which was fine so I thought this would be ok). A gray market camera I paid full retail for now has a 10% restocking fee and have to pay for return shipping now so I am out about $150 bucks. The worst people ever! I am sending it back today and I don't even know how long it will take or if there are going to be and more surprises from them.
If you do want to buy from them, understand that you are getting gray market merchandise which is ok if you want to save some money, but don't let them con you into paying any extra than the advertised price and make sure they are sending you everything that should be included when you buy it. Don't play their game!! You will not get a manufacturer's warranty no matter what and I wouldn't trust the inside warranty they offer after this whole stunt. I will not buy from them again and I can't recommend anyone else to.

I ordered my Canon EOS R camera online from AbesofMaine.com. It was listed for $300 less than other websites. I got a phone call shortly after stating that what I ordered was not a USA supported version. I inquired about what that meant with the salesman TED. I told him that is not what I wanted. He said he would set me up with the right one but it would be $300 more but would be able to provide a warranty with it. I said ok, that's fair. Come to find out when I tried to register my camera with Canon that it is not a US supported camera. This guy sent me a foreign unsupported (by CanonUSA) camera and some 3rd party cheap warranty that does almost nothing. The attorney general for NJ should be on top of this and put a stop to this company at once for these bait and switch programs. Abe's of Maine is not to be trusted.

Service on website was excellent and i'm very happy with my purchase from ABE'S of Maine. I look forward to receiving my camera, lens, and hood in the mail very soon so that I can begin to take surfing pictures of my son again. I needed the upgrade of camera and lens to enhance the quality of clarity of my pictures. Thanks.

Great price for the Nikon D850, much better than Amazon or sellers on Amazon. Curiously, when doing a Google search for the Nikon D850 that Abes's of Maine did not show up as a place to buy this camera. I remember buying a Canon F-1 here back in the 1990's and have always had an excellent experience.

Rf 24-70mm lens. So far so good, a little nervous. I’ve never ordered from this vendor. Just takes me out of comfort zone. Michael called me shortly after I made the purchase, and confirmed my purchase. Thank you very much, so far the service has been golden.

Recently, I ordered a Canon EOS R camera from the store. I was really nervous when seeing bad online reviews about the store. However, after receiving my product, I have to say my experience with the store is quite positive. They got great pricing, quality product, and good service. I will shop from them again.

I purchased a Nikon D750. Great price, will be shopping more from Abe’s. Was able to finance with no interest for 18 months. How great is that! Excited to own a full frame camera. Will be checking out their lens next. I strongly recommend Abe’s for cameras and lens.

This Abe's of Maine is not in maine! The old abe's of maine went bankrupt in 2012. The new one is in new jersey and is not the same store! Do not purchase from here!! This is a bait and switch scam!! They are not authorized sellers of many products like canon, sony, panasonic, nikon and many others. That info is buried in their website.
If you read most of the "Good" or five star reviews here, they are fake reviews. How do I know? Most of them are NEW or at least newer than 2012. Most of the reviewers have reviewed 2-4 times. Read the one star reviews first. Look how many there are. Read their stories. They all match up exactly with the same experiences. The five star reviews are so scripted. For example: "good service, products were great quality, excellent customer service, great product selection..." It's all generic paid comments. No specifics.
I purchased from a long time ago and made a purchase recently thinking it was the same business. But it wasn't. I too received the email to call to confirm purchase and when I did, I received the upsell with warranties and expensive accessories. There tactic is to put the burden on you the customer to ask the "right" questions otherwise they will not tell you that the low cost product advertised is a gray market item, meaning its actually missing a lot of stuff or it is an international product.
This means there is no manufacturer warranty, and that is why they try to sell you their "extended" warranty. But how could it be "extended" when there is no original warranty to extend? Buried in their website in their FAQ under many paragraphs in small print they say UNLESS SPECIFIED, Abe's of Maine is NOT an authorized retailer of products such as Canon, Nikon, etc.... This is how they cover themselves from their shady practice of the BAIT AND SWITCH.

They pulled a bait & switch, telling me something was on back order, when website showed it was in stock. And they were Rude on the phone! Never again. This is a scam. I would avoid these people, stay as far away as possible!

I just ordered the camera, the price was outstanding, the ordering process was quick and easy. I will likely rate higher once I receive the product, but so far I am quite pleased with the level of service provided. I called before ordering my product, the Sony Alpha A6400 mirrorless camera, to double check availability and price, and the representative that I spoke to was friendly and answered my questions quickly and concisely.

Hi, Minor point: I placed order ** with this same email on 11/30/2019. I expected Abe's to recognize my email from before. Now I've definitely created an account to go with this current order. Now that I'm writing feedback, I suggest you enhance your search engine to filter products by camera mounts. I can filter for the lens manufacturer (Sony E mount in my case), but it would be very helpful if I could filter for lenses that will fit my camera.

A day after placing the order I received an email from them asking me to call them to confirm the order. Called them and it was to try to sell me a UV lens for $45.00. I got the lens via UPS about a week later. The lens box is not a Sony Lens box, there is no documentation or warranty with the lens. I DON'T KNOW IF THE LENS IS NEW, DEFECTIVE OR USED. I WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN FROM ABE'S OF MAINE.

I just placed my order, so it's a little early, but it was very easy to order and get what I want. I can't wait for my new camera to arrive! I just ordered!

Hi there, Disappointed phones closed at 4. I called at 402 not knowing. If I waited until Sunday Valentine's day sale prices would have changed. Hoping camera will allow optional remote to trigger via phone app. Great pricing. Always thought B&H was lowest. No more. Was also hoping for something to be added at no cost being first time buyer. UV filter, cleaning kit, something like that. Thanks for great website and products.

Last week the fine folks at Abe's sent my order and got it here fast. Before sending it, they called to confirm the correctness of the order and shipping information and to see if there was anything else I would need with the order. I've read reviews that listed complaints about up-selling and pressure but I most certainly did not experience that. Michael helped me get a few more things I really did need with my purchase. In the end, I spent less than I would have anywhere else, got exactly what I wanted and needed, felt like a valued customer, and shipping was just as fast as it could be. Today I am writing this review as a returning, happy customer. I am thoroughly pleased with Abe's of Maine!

Ordered a lenses in Dec. Within few days got a call - snappy gentleman clearly attempted to up sell stuff which after I declined - told me the lens is on back order - I expressed I have no problem waiting - after waiting for 2 months I checked the status and appears that order got cancelled without any warning...or notice. Very upsetting, I am ok with up selling, I am ok with rude clearly commission driven sales stuff and playing the "game" - but it is unacceptable where a seller just quietly cancels an order without any explanation.
