Purchased a camera from this dealer. Didn't received in promised time, tried to contact them several times and it was useless. They never responded so I thought it was a scam and posted a review about them, They contacted me straight away and said that they cancelled my order because of my review. But they forgot about the money back and never send it to me. I am sure that they are scams and liars, don't buy from them, look for better experience!

If I could give this company zero stars, I would! This was the absolute worst experience I've had with any merchant. I discourage anyone who's currently thinking about purchasing from them to look elsewhere.Don't be fooled by their low prices.
I ordered the Canon t3i on Oct 29 and have yet to receive it.After not receiving any shipment notification for 2 weeks, I contacted the customer service dept only to be badgered with annoying sales pitches for extra batteries, lenses, etc.After I asked to speak with the supervisor, the representative told me that I would be on hold for 30 min and that it was best to deal with him instead. I'm not so easily dissuaded and after 5 min on hold, I got a hold of Roger, the supervisor. After hearing me out, he assured me that they would give me free 3 day ground shipping and that it would arrive before Thanksgiving.
Needless to say, my camera has not arrived and I will never order from them again. Any company who is quick to charge you for their product, tries to prevent you from talking to management, and lies about shipment arrival does not deserve my business or yours!

It's 12/8 and I placed order on Tuesday 27 November, 2012. My order status is currently set to "Transfered". My card hasn't been charged so I called 1-800-571-2717 and emailed customer service at CS@PrimoTronix.com. After holding for a half hour, no one ever picked up and no one has responded via email either. At this point, I'd like to cancel my order but do not know how. I may just cancel the credit card I used...

I have no idea what has happened to my order, but I placed it back in November and should have received it by now. Their customer support is not answering.

I just had the same experience as everyone else here. Ordered at Thanksgiving, product never delivered. Made several phone calls, with the last one today, December 11th...almost three weeks later.

When I threatened to cancel my order and write a bad review on them, ALL THE SUDDEN they could ship my product. However, there was a catch. I had to leave a glowing review on ResellerRatings.com. They literally told me on the phone: "you have to do something for us if you want us to do something for you." In other words, they attempted to blackmail and coerce me into NOT telling the truth about them, in order that I receive my product.

Well, thanks but no thanks. I care more about the truth than a great camera deal. My order is cancelled, and here is the review the merchant deserves.

P.S. - to cancel your order, call your credit card company, and have them conference the call so it is recorded. DON'T call customer service, call SALES. Be persistent. This is YOUR money and time we're talking about.

As far as I am concerned, this company does not exist. I ordered a camera, waited for 3 weeks, tried to call but was on hold before I got disconnected. I cancelled the credit card order and tried again - same story. The e-mail verification of either order did not have an order #, and 'order status' on their website showed 'transfered' in each case, though nothing was shipped. Lots of work on my part with canceling credit card payments and waiting on the phone. Not worth the savings!

I have ordered a canon lens which came defective and broken. I contacted the customer support and was promised to be called back asap. I have been waiting for three days, no one has yet called me or informed what can be done.

Ordered a camera, received call from a customer service agent who pushily tried to sell me additional products. When I declined he became angry and hung up on me. Fast forward to receiving my order (at least I got it!) and the camera body has significant damage. Primotronix doesn't respond to my requests to discuss the matter. I don't care, I'm going to BBB and left a lengthy complaint complete with a picture of the broken camera.

I purchased a canon 7D camera on the internet from Primotronix for $1009.99, camera insurance for $299.99, and other miscellaneous items totaling $2051.94. I was quoted a price of $1899.98 which I agreed upon. They took $2199.99 out of my account without my consent.
I have received all the items purchased except the insurance. I have tried for 3 month to get a refund to no avail. As of 1-8-13, a person has guaranteed a 5 year warranty to be received in 5 days to make up for the money and problems. This is not going to happen. These people sell grey market products which I wish I knew before now, however, once companies such as Primotronix participates in grey market activities it voids the manufactory’s warranty on the camera. They then scam you by selling you a insurance policy that is no good which is why you never receive it.
This company has scammed many people according to the information on the computer. I doubt I will ever see my money, but I would like to see them stopped. I have called Stamford police department and found there is no Primotronix at the address given.I contacted the district attorney and attorney general. I was told to file a police report in my city, and they would forward it to Stamford. If enough people did this they may be stopped.

My children bought me a Sony rx100. The only good thing, and when I say only I mean only, about this website is that they are indeed the cheapest price. HOWEVER, let me state at the outset that I would NEVER order from them again, and I am still contemplating if I will take any other action against them. My son ordered the camera in mid December. By January, after not having received it he tried several times to call the company, and like the other reviewers, was placed on hold interminably. The last time he tried to contact them was the morning he was leaving out of the country. He waited on hold about 20 minutes and finally had to leave to the airport so he forwarded me the email "confirmation" and put it in my lap (even though it was supposed to be my bday present,lol). It did take me considerable time to get through, but I finally did reach a gentleman in sales (i figured they would be more likely to answer the call if they thought it was a new order rather than trying customer service again which never pick up). It was a long and irritating conversation but he basically told me that the item was out of stock when my son ordered it but now it was in so if I still wanted it they would ship it out and due to the extended delay they would upgrade the shipping to "express". I wont bore you with the details but their express could probably be beat by the Pony Express of yesteryear. You would think that the problems ended there, but you would be WRONG. A letter accompanied the package pleading that before you post negative reviews you contact their customer service department because " we are here to always assist you in any way possible, we are eager to be there for you". Well, I had two issues, one was the incredible delay in shipping and the second was a $48 charge on the invoice for "tax". Regarding the first issue they told many LIES. First they said that an automated response went out AT THE TIME THE ORDER WAS PLACED notifying us that the item was out of stock. NOT TRUE no such email. Then they said that THEY CONTACTED US ON JANUARY 2, to let us know there would be a delay and did we still want the item. AGAIN ABSOLUTE LIE. The call on January 2 was the one I mentioned earlier when I CALLED THEM to see where my missing item was and it was then that the rep asked me if I still wanted it. Regarding my second issue about the tax: I questioned them about it due to the fact that their company shows an address in Connecticut (and no other location!) and since they shipped to me in NY, no sales tax should have been charged. They said that their website states as "company policy" that they charge tax for the tri-state area. I believe that this is ANOTHER LIE. Although I will not read through every area of their website, I did read their company policy area and no where there does it state that. Furthermore company policy aside, the LAW STATES that if they are located in another state they may not charge sales tax. All of a sudden he tells me that their warehouse is in NY (will do more research shortly to verify)Regardless, what came next is what was really the icing on the cake!!! Because my last name is "Jewish sounding", the manager got on the phone and started ranting at me (keep in mind I was just inquiring about the legality of charging state sales tax when the item was, ostensibly, shipped out of state)about that he recognizes from my name that I am a Jew, as was he, and accused me in a loud rant of insulting my religion and my G-d, and simply being out for trying to get something for free (for the record I never asked for something for free or anything for free for that matter, and indeed turned down his offer of a free battery to satisfy my desire to "get something for nothing (which was) clearly what I was after" (his words not mine!). Now it happens that I am Jewish, and because I am I am highly offended by this COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL, DEROGATORY, AND perhaps even ILLEGAL encounter. And it is this last bit that has spurred me on to explore my options vis a vis this company. At the very least there should be some business licensing ramifications, and luckily my son (an adult, and a lawyer) was in on the call so it won't just be my word against theirs!"
