Abe's Of Maine

I just bought Nikon D5000 from Abes of Maine. They have competitive pricing and there weren’t any shipping charges. Also I don’t live in NJ so I saved a few dollars on tax.

I bought a nice digital camera from abes of Maine everything was fine. After a month or so they send coupons via email that can save you a few dollars’. I wish I knew before. Otherwise good stuff.

I recently bought the Nikon P6000 from abes of Maine. They ship fast and accurate. They are very competitive on pricing. I found a whole bunch of stuff that they had didn’t no they carried.

Excellent service. A friend referred me to abes of Maine. He told me that they have the best pricing and fastest ship time. I went to them and he was right.

I purchased a 52" Sharp Aquos LCD TV in 2007.  They convinced me to purchase an extended warranty for $300.  It was delivered quickly and worked great.  In February '09 the set failed completely (main digital board).

I called customer service told me that the company that handled their extended warranties had gone out of business.  After 2 months of various stories (next week, another 2 weeks, we're suing them, etc.) they told me to call Sharp and arrange to have the set fixed, and to keep the invoice.  The TV is being fixed, and the tech just called and it will cost me $830.  I called Abe's again and asked about how their reimbursement works.  Their "reimbursement plan" is for me to sue the defunct repair copmany.  Enough said.

I searched on line for a sharp lc-46SE94 I saw abes of Maine. Abes had the lowest price on it and it was in stock ready to ship. About 7 days later I got my TV. I’m very happy with the TV and abes.

Abes has been one of my best experiences of an online shopping company. I bought a canon EF 70-300mm lens, I didn’t know much about it I spoke to an abes rep he was great. He explained everything to me I was very impressed.

Compared to other vendor’s abes is remarkable. I got me a nice camcorder from their for my daughter’s birthday. They shipped it to her without giving me problems.  It was awesome.

Much appreciated business with abes of maine. Reliable quick and on time. A friend of mine recommended them to me it was a good recommendation.

I bought a canon XSI and this is my third time purchasing from abes, it’s always been the best. Abes always sent the right item at the right time.

20 Words or Less?  I have one--AWFUL!

The worst customer service ever--STAY AWAY!  Spend more and get better customer service!

I had to go as far as filing a police report and a complaint with the Better Business Bureau just to find out the status of my order.

NEVER-EVER AGAIN

I’m proud to say that I bought a camera from abes of Maine. They treated me the right way and I got it on time. Right before my husbands birthday. Recommended.

I will keep buying from abes; they are one of the best sites on the internet. Always on time and honest.

I thought I knew what product I wanted (Whirlpool range hood) and found Abe's had the best price. Easy ordering process. They never mentioned that they had to order it themselves from the Whirlpool warehouse and then forward it to me. That took longer than expected. 

When the product arrived, it was not what I wanted. I went online (Saturday) to read the return policy and it looked like I was covered so I went out locally and bought something else and installed it. When I called Monday to get my RMA they said this 30"x17"x6" product is a "LARGE APPLIANCE" and therefore not returnable. They suggested I simply take it back to Lowe's and claim I lost my receipt. To me that is even worse than their own refusal to take it back.

Customer Service is not comfortable to ship an item to you when you don't have 2 lan line. 

The absolute worse customer service ever.  They are rude and yell at you and tell you that you are at fault even when you already spoke to them at great lengths.  They need 2 Lan line telephone numbers or they will not ship the item to you because they are not able to confirm who you are.  Who has 2 lan lines?  I spoke to Tony, who claims to be the CEO of the company and he literally said "Your cell phone # is crap to us."  The sad part is... this is my 2nd order with them so my record should already be on file.

I can understand that they are trying to be safe and not ship items someone that they feel has stolen a credit card.  However they are on the phone with me.  They spoke to me 3 times and calls my cell phone crap.  The fact that they are speaking to me 3 times doesn't mean anything?  Not to mention, the 1st time it went to my voice mail that has my name on.

I ordered a sony camcorder from Abes after much review of retailers. The website claimed the item was "in stock" and "brand new from manufacturer".  The initial online order was smooth and simple.  I called them the next day to buy a protection   Read full review...

I brought a sigma 70-200mm lens from them, it took 4 days before they shipped. Actually I have to call in and went through bunch of sales pitch like, do you need a filter? need warranty?.. 

Anyway, I found the copy of my sigma lens got a focus issue, so I wrote down the serial number and sent back to them for an exchange.  3 days after they receive my lens, they sent me "another" lens.  It was the same lens.  same serial number. What a dishonest practice. I am returning it to them. period.

I will never buy anything from those guys.

Tony from California.

P.s. Just in case you will get the same lens I got the serial number is 1029071

I was very skeptical at first about purchasing electronics from this site. My husband finally convinced me that this was a good company and man was it ever! The customer service was outstanding! Instead of dealing with many hundreds of people on the phone, my order was assigned to one person. Sheldon helped me and re iterated my order over the phone making sure every thing was correct. I was very happy overall with not only the prices, but the customer service I received and will definitely be shopping with Abes of Maine again. Thanks again

Abes is a piece of work they know what flying on the order. The credit card declined first time they called and emailed me so they could ship out the order right away.

So I have to admit feeling a little iffy after reading the poor reviews, but they have a physical store and the best price at the time, and some good reviews, so I took the plunge and placed an online order.
They do call you back to so-call "confirm" your order and shipping and billing info.  They also try to sell a bunch of extras.  The prices of their extras aren't bad either, but sometimes they should just realize that if you wanted extras, you would have included them in the order.
Anyhoo, I told "Morris" that I was upgrading from an older model, which I was, so that killed off the hard sell.  They had free shipping and I waited anxiously for the UPS ground delivery to arrive to make sure I didn't get a grey market/refurb/open box.  I didn't.  I got a new camera, the one I wanted, for a great price.
So yeah, this review is only for a camera sale, and they did do the call-back to sell extras, but all in all, everything came out well in the end and I'd buy from them again so long as you don't mind the call-back.

Abes of Maine had the best deal I could find on the Canon Rebel EOS GII. It came in about 19 days which was a bit slow and I had a long wait when I called the service number to verify shipment. I think this was because it was so close to Christmas though and I was happy when I received the camera with good packaging and as described. I will definately do business with them again!

Very professional customer support. I got a cracked screen from the shipping company I guess. I called abes of Maine right away and they sent me a replacement. I didn’t have to go through the hassle of stopping payment or anything.

This was my first order and likely the last. The order was completely on line but never received any email confirmation. After 3 days I called them and waited 30 minutes on hold for customer service, and then was forwarded to a salesperson that started out with something about typing in a wrong email address which was why I never received a confirmation. Sounds like a ploy to call in to me since it was typed in properly on the website order. Sure enough, after "correcting" the email address, I then received a fairly hard sell to buy accessories for the camera, the usual extra battery, uv protector lens and extended warranty.  The sad part was they were not even the lowest price around, but seemed to have good ratings. The name is deceiving too, Abe's of Maine is in New Jersey, a state far more famous for this kind of shoddy salesmanship.
