Abe's Of Maine

I placed an order on October 16th and received an e-mail the next day stating that the product had shipped but there was no tracking number.  On October 27thy I called customer service and was assured that the Item was being drop shipped overnight and that I would have the product by the "end of the week".  You guessed it, it is Saturday and I have not received the product.

Wonderful work by abes of Maine I ordered a pretty old lens that they had in stock. I got it about 300 less then everyone had listed. For best price go to abes

Very well trained crew. These guys know their stuff on the equipment. I have about 10 questions to ask and my sales rep George was great. Answered all my question to the T. Impressed!

Shopped for best price, found it at Abes of Main, I made the purchase and got fast delivery, but communication was terrible. The only time I was able to talk to them is when they called me to try and make a deceptive, misleading  accessory sales. They discredited the functionality of the camera battery and insisted that I buy an off-brand back up, which I already had. They still will not communicate,  the price dropped three times since I purchased, even days after I purchased and still will not communicate.  They'll answer the phone, but that's about it. 

If you know what your looking for and spot the best price, go for it, but don't try to communicate. I wrote a review on the camera I purchased on their site and wanted to go back and edit, or add to it and have not gotten a reply from them in over a month. Now I'm trying to stop the daily sales promos via email.

abes of maine representative was very forceful i get mack camera warranty, so i gave it a shot. I read about the warranties not being good and tried to get a refund. The company gave me the worst RUNAROUND ever. They didnt return my calls, had a guuy TONY on the phone bully me and ask why i dont want it. they did so much to not refund me, including totally blowing me off.
NOT A GOOD COMPANY
i spent nearly 2000 on that rude company.. never again..

After a few days of looking on line for a camcorder that I needed, I found good reviews for abes of Maine a couple of negatives but nothing crazy. I ordered it from them and I was amazed how fast the camera came. It came in 3 days and I live all the way out in Washington.

I read a few complaints about Abe's of Maine but I must say objectively that my experience was fine overall.  Yes, they make you talk to them via phone and yes they try to upsell you items, but you know what?  That's what a lot of companies do.  Anyhow I ordered a top of the line Sony "bridge" camera, meaning the new 20 times lens on a non SLR.  There price was the best available and the item was shipped promptly the same day as I pd next day air.  It was a replacement for a Sony SLR and I found I didn't really like the picture quality.  I returned the item to Abes and got a full refund within 4 business days.  I almost kept the camera out of fear from reading a few bad reviews, but the bottom line is that I had no problems and would order from them again.  Just say no to the upsells.

Time and time again abes of Maine comes through with my order. I order a special fish eye lens that was had to get. It took them a few days but they came through. And they shipped express shipping.

I had ordered a Pioneer DVD player online with Abes because it was listed as "Available".  The price was comparable to other online shops.  The day afer I ordered it, I got an email stating that it's out of stock and I could either wait 7-10 days for it or cancel.  I called cust service and asked why their site said "available" when it wasn't?  Their response was that they had thousands of products and couldn't possibly update status of all of them!  What a CROCK of SH*T!
Anyway I decided to wait out the delay.  I waited.  And waited, and waited.  After a month I cancelled the order.
After several phone calls, all I got was that it was backordered and Pioneer wasn't shipping them.  Each call they said, 5-10 days.  I checked with Pioneer and they said they had full stock of these and no problems shipping them out to distributers.  
I called J&R same day I cancelled with Abes and got it in 2 days for the same price.  I will never do business with Abes again.

Last update (3):I won't say that I would never order from them again, but the chances of me doing so are very unlikely.  I originally thought, well, maybe I'll give them another chance, since the VP said he'd reimburse me shipping and   Read full review...

I didn't do my homework on this place. Being a camera novice I was talked into buying a spare battery with "3 times the battery life"
and  $49.00, 8 gb card. I got the battery as part of the 8gb card.
OK got me there, then the pitch about the warranty. So, I got that as well for $49.00. After all of this I received my order as stated. Except the 4gb card that was a bonus did not come, now it's a nightmare trying to get that card out of them. Now it's soley for spite that I will not let it go. I will go to the BBB if I have to over a 15 dollar item. BTW Nikon sells the same 2 year warranty for 29.99!!!
Do not do business with these people!

Great prices, delivery was quicker than I expected, and overall pleased - but not without some concerns. Primarily the upsell away from free ground shipping. I don't mind trying to upsell me after the sale - that is good sales, but I was promised one   Read full review...

Great and awesome message from abes of Maine. I ordered about 3 days ago and it’s on my door step. I will be returning and the item is fresh and new.

Ordered an item online and then had to call in to confirm it. They've done this before and it's simply a way for them to upsell on more accessories. Then even though I chose to pay a little more for expediting the order, they sat on it for 2 days and so it did not arrive at the intended date. I missed having it for my vacation. There order processing and shipping is inconsistent. Don't waste your time.

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.
