I've bought several products and am satisfied with the price and the delivery. Price wise, it's the best among the top players even though the return policy could have been better. However, I'm totally fine with the policy if it can lower the price. I'm glad I knew this website and have been telling friends about it.

Been looking to purchase a new mirrorless camera for a few weeks, since I sold my Olympus OMD EM5 and accessories. Decided to try Fujifilm, because my son loves his camera so much. Shopping at Abe’s was very straight forward, and easy to do. They have a very high rating on ResellerRatings.com, so I ordered from them. They had the best price this past weekend also. Can’t wait to start shooting with this new camera! Thanks, Abe’s of Maine!

Bought my first SLR from Abe's many years ago. Still have it, but 35mm film is pretty much obsolete. Prices are still excellent, selection is huge and product descriptions are complete and accurate. Makes shopping online much easier. Always good deals too. If you take the time to pull them together you can get a better value for things you want than buying a prepackaged kit with stuff you don't need.

I purchased a Nikon D810 from Abe’s of Maine a few years back and purchased the extended accidental warranty thinking that if anything were to happen to my camera that the accidental damage warranty would cover the repair or replacement. Sure enough my camera fell to the ground and damaged it enough to have a soft focus. When I went to make a claim they told me that it wouldn't be covered due to my camera strap being faulty. Please! I warn you against this company and instead choose an an authorized dealer to purchase the camera from. I've learned my lesson and wish I would have read the reviews for this company ahead of time. Don't make my same mistake!

I ordered a Nikon Z7 with the FTZ online for $2800. A good deal. I get a call the next morning from the sales guy named Jeff. He starts the upsale. NO problems with that, but I think the only time this guy is not lying is when his mouth is shut. Needless to say that the camera price increased a few hundred dollars when I received the receipt. Hmm. I asked about pricing and he stated that I ordered the "Retail Package". You know, the one that comes with the strap, eye piece, battery and instruction manual. Geez. I immediately stated that I wanted to cancel the order and I even sent an email 2 different times during the day to do so. Oh no, it had shipped already and that was before 1 PM EST. Miraculously in 1 hr UPS had picked it up. That was just part of a chain of lies. UPS actually picked it up after 7 PM EST.
UPS label arrives to me via email from Abe's of Maine. Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2019 6:53 PM. Notice the time of the UPS Label creation - Label Created 06/19/2019 6:07 P.M.

A friend ordered a gift for someone who past away suddenly and now needed to return the item. The sales person named Steve verbally assaults you right away by saying that your are mental or not right in the head for trying to ask about speaking to someone. It is stated in the return policy that you need to obtain an RMA# which is needed for a return, after calling to try to speak with someone else he stated "I got your # on caller ID" and thereafter proceeded to hang up repeatedly. Mind you there is a 14 day window to return item for refund. Basically you are not entitled to a refund and they will charge you anyway. The item was well over $1000 and would have been appreciated by our friend who suddenly died. Don't purchase from this company. They have no scruples.

Went online to purchase Nikon camera and kit lens at a really good price. The next business day, a fast talking salesman sends an email asking me to call to "verify" the purchase.

Made a purchase through the website (camera) and was later sent a confirmation email. This email prompted me to call a number, so I did. Once connected, the person tried to upsell me by telling me that my purchase didn’t go through and that I needed to get a battery with it. Long story short, I gave in and paid the extra $100 for the battery and charger. I then came to this website to take a look at the reviews and multiple different people have the same exact situation. I called back and told them I want to cancel the purchase because they are a fraud company and they hung up, further proving that they are a scam. I called my credit card company and told them I need to cancel a purchase and then called Abe’s back to tell them yet again to cancel my purchase, and they hung up AGAIN. Highly recommend everyone to STAY AWAY from this website. You’re welcome, I just saved you from a whole lot of issues. Thanks for reading.

Canon Lens EF 70-200 f2.8 IS III. When entering my account details and trying to read the terms and conditions, my details previously entered had been deleted. This I found rather irksome, the entered details should remain there until either accepted or rejected. Secondly when first looking at the above product the Memorial Day’s sale price was $1459 now it is $16012. Why?

I ordered two camera bodies at the Memorial Day sale price of $696 each which were not advertised as not eligible for U.S. warranty. I was told this after Adam sent an email, requesting that I confirm the order. Once he told me the cameras were not eligible I asked to cancel my order. Adam proceeded to hard sell me the more expensive $899 camera with the U.S. warranty which was more expensive but offered to sell them for $829 each. I was at work so didn't want to continue to argue and agreed to the change. As soon as I hung up, I felt very strongly that I did not want to deal with a company that uses bait and switch tactics.
So, I forwarded the emailed receipt to their sales department at 12:21 pm (I could not call because I was at work)), telling them to cancel the order. Within minutes, they tried calling me, a total of three times in less than 5 minutes. Again, I could not answer, I was at work. I emailed them telling them I knew they were trying to call and asked them to cancel the order, again. The calls stopped. I just checked my email. They shipped the order anyway (at 3:50 pm). I don't plan on picking it up. Now I can only hope to have the charge to my account reversed without some sort of penalty. I would never recommend this company, ever.

Visa verify means you have to place your order. Then get it rejected. Then make a follow up call to your card company all while sitting on hold for 20 min and being subjected to stupid question. When this is done you have to redo your order. Why you may ask. Because the vendor is protecting themself... they say it's to protect you but this is simply B.S. Sounds to me like they have had a lot of bad employees taking bad cards. It's simply a pain in the ass for the rest of us.

This is my after receiving my order review. When I first ordered, I selected a specific brand and size camera lens that suited my budget. Shortly after making my purchase, I received a phone call from Abe's confirming my order and place of delivery. The man on the other end of the call was very friendly and chatty. After several minutes of small talk, the man insisted that what I had ordered would not meet my expectations and worked to convince me that I would be better off with a camera lens of a different size AND price...and that I would absolutely need the 3 year warranty as well.
After much talking, I was "convinced " that I would be happier with the much more expensive camera lens. When I received my order, only then did I discover that not only was it not what I wanted, but it was a different brand name!! I tried contacting customer service via the email link sent with my order, but received an auto reply to call the phone number attached.... I have yet to get someone to call me back. VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER!! Beware of the slick phone talkers!!

Original Review: Price can't be beat and my only reservation is the numerous negative reviews. I don't want any calls trying to upsell me, I don't want to hear it's back ordered as the site says in stock. My fears are probably misfounded.

I wish I'd seen the reviews here before completing my purchase and would then have been better informed about what to expect. To Abe's of Maine I would say this - your selling practice is a shot in your own foot as I won't be shopping again on your site - a loss to you as already I have bought 3 lenses from elsewhere and will continue to shop in other places.
To other potential shoppers I'd give this advice - the deals here are great, if you can somehow keep them. Prepare to get an unsolicited call from Abe's at an inconvenient time when they will do their best to upsell on things you either don't need or are supplied with in any case. If you get a call from them insist on just completing the order you have already made or prepare to cancel. In the end I realize I could have got a much better deal elsewhere online had I not succumbed to the unsolicited upselling.

I thought that I had landed a great deal on a 55" Inch LG OLED TV with Abe's of Maine. The price, including free shipping and no sales tax, was much lower than what Amazon was charging for the same TV. The day after purchasing the TV online, however, Abe's of Maine sent me an email telling me that I had to call them to "confirm my purchase."
The call to a representative went as follows: First, he said the call was to verify that no one was fraudulently using my credit card. I thanked him for this security, but this verification was just a ruse for what followed. Second, he told me they had to add special handling to the shipping and told me the actual cost of my TV would be $288 higher than the original purchase price! Third, when I complained he said he would throw in what he called "white glove" delivery, which is nothing more than having someone bring the TV into the house.
Fourth, when I still complained, he said he would throw in a cheap TV mount (a $20 mount that he said was worth something like $150 - another lie). Finally, he said he would throw in a more expensive mount; but a TV mount that I could purchase for less than $40. While I reluctantly (and probably stupidly) agreed to the higher price that is still not a terrible deal, I feel cheated and believe Abe's of Maine is a totally untrustworthy merchant. I just noticed another reviewer with the exact same complaint, so this is obviously on ongoing unscrupulous tactic used repeatedly by Abe's of Maine. I wish I had read the review earlier and had been prepared. Be very wary and prepared should you purchase items from Abe's of Maine!

You order the television at a great price. Free shipping. You place the order, the order doesn't go thru and a salesperson calls you next day to verify and upsell you things. I HAD to pay a charge on insurance even though it is free shipping THEN the sales person advised I get white glove - it's only 69 dollars more but the total I paid in additional fees was $388.00. I can't hate this place as I still saved $980 total. BUT I don't like double talking and am pissed that I let it happen to me.
Make the salespeople explain all charges that lead up to the total they are charging you. If I did that I would not have paid for WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY which is only two dopes in a truck bringing up your tv pulling the box open and plugging it in and leaving. They don't put it on stand and they don't wont help you do it. So, DON'T pay extra for white glove delivery - it is a rip off. Take the chance the tv is not cracked or broken, if the box is in good condition sign for it, if not refuse delivery. You pay extra not to deal with this kind of crap, it's up to you if it's worth it or now dealing with these kind of sales. I chose and I'm ok with Abe's of Maine.
