beverly_martin2 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 <p>i told a friend that adorama should be a trustworthy place to buy equipment since it is connected with photo.net. am i mistaken? beverly-who-tends-to-be naive.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Javkin Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 <p>Adorama is a trustworthy store, but seeing a store's ads on photo.net is no guarantee.</p> <p>Adorama and B&H are the two trustworthy stores in the U.S. that have the lowest prices. In my experience, B&H is better. When Adorama messed up an order (sold me an expired Staticmaster cartridge) they fixed it quickly. B&H has never messed up any of my orders.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesBecker-Toronto Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 <p>Beverly, Adorama is definitely trustworthy and was long before its connection with Photo.net though I agree with you-they would not have associated themselves with Adorama otherwise. Adorama and B&H are the two stores I make sure I visit when I'm in New York. You're safe! regards, cb :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyinca Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 <p>Adorama is cool. I bought a lot of stuff from them with no issues.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronald_moravec1 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 <p>They are fine. So is Calumet, B&H, Helix, and a host of others. Just stay away from those with very low prices.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 <p>Resellerratings.com is the <em>sine qua non</em> for anyone who is buying on-line or any other way<br /> Helen above, is of course, with Adorama, but you needn't be skeptical of her reference to Resellerratings. Resellerratings is independent and invaluable.</p> <p>You do have to hunt around on their cluttered <a href="http://www.resellerratings.com/">home page</a> at the website to find the place where you enter to the <strong>store ratings</strong> .</p> <p>I've lost the pointer to it, but someone had a website where they posted pictures of the "store fronts" in Brooklyn for many of the scam joints. It was a long train of back doors and mail drops.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 <p>Thanks, that was it exactly. It's enormously educational.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_G1664882113 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 <p>As Hector Javkin said, B&H is better - I agree. I have had some marginal experiences with Adorama. With B&H you get what you order with no exceptions. I order from B&H when ordering online. Here's the URL http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ I think you will find this the most reliable online photography vendor.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markci Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 <p>The fact that they run ads on photo.net means nothing. Photo.net has run ads from some pretty sleazy outfits in the past.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen_oster Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 <p >Mark, you are quite correct. </p> <p ></p> <p >But our ratings of 9.15/10 on Reselleratings, plus Adorama's commitment to monitoring this -as well as trawling a further 400 or so photographic websites, blogs and shopping sites for customers who need assistance, is hardly the mark of a sleazy operator.</p> <p > </p> <p >Sincerely</p> <p > </p> <p >Helen Oster<br />Adorama Camera Customer Service Ambassador</p> <p ><br />helen.oster@adoramacamera.com</p> <p >www.adoramacamera.com</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raj surati Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 <p>Adorama has been in business a very very long time. Photo.net has had a business relationship with them since 2001. My experience with them since 2001 has been a very happy one, I have ordered many items from them.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
