    Adorama back to the top of my list
    I am back to being an Adorama fan.

    I purchased a refurbished camera body from Adorama this summer. I had it shipped to work and because of an extended contract I was unable to even look at the body until the 30-day return policy had expired.

    The new body produced an Err99. No matter what I did the body would produce an Err99, different lenses, cleaned contacts, etc. still Err99. The mirror appeared to be stuck; it would not lift to take a photo. When I pressed the shutter, the lens would stop down, I could see it stop down through the viewfinder, I shouldn’t be able to see this. Then ERR99. I tried cleaning mode; still the mirror wouldn’t lift.

    I contacted Helen Oster directly and explained my situation to her. She contacted someone in the return department and they agreed to take the return. I am extremely happy with this service. I will now go to Adorama’s site first, and I won’t hesitate to purchase from them in the future. They’ve definitely upped their customer service, putting us first.

    Thanks Helen!

    Thanks Adorama!

    Me too!

    I had to make a huge purchase in Sept and needed it asap. Since it was so big I called and asked for free overnight. They did and made me very happy. I always shop at Adorama before B&H now because of the customer service.

    The comments on Customer Service at Adorama are nice to see. As someone who lives north of 49, I have the odd occassion to buy equipment from the US - usually because my local supplier cannot get it at all, or they cannot get it in a timely fashion (you folks have no idea how we Canadians photogs get played around with by the manufacturers and suppliers - a whole other story). Seeing the experience of people here (with Adorama) makes me think I will try them the next time I need to order something from south of the border. After all, service is really what it is all about!

    Regards,
