I agree. Hopefully it will be a "wake up call" for training reps and handling calls. THAT is when good customer service becomes "the norm".

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I've seen nothing but outstanding service from adorama. I will continue to use them...ESPECIALLY ON refurbs.

Obviously a bad day - or a odd combination of things. It happens.

No joke I got transfered around 5 times! 2 people weren't even sales people then when I thought I had someone on the phone that knew what they were talking about, he tells me to hold then transfer's me to someone's voice mail! :evil:

What idiots. Looks like B&H get's my business now.


I'm sorry to hear about this!

I'm sorry but I'm on the side that believes there is no excuse for behavior of 5 people acting the same. That is just sloppy. Let's face it, we all have bad days, but 5? Those must be a group of unhappy workers! :rofl:

I ordered new and used gear from Adorama for years without any problems. Then once I had a problem with an order, and had to call their customer service. The person I spoke with was very rude and impatient, and the problem was never resolved to my satisfaction. It's the only time I've ever been hung up on. I was shocked because it wasn't a problem that I thought should be difficult to solve, and I was calm and pleasant. I have ordered from them only a few times since. There have been no problems, but they are my last resort when no one else has what I need in stock. I think most of the time their online ordering works just fine, but I would dread ever having to call them for any reason.

I would be pi$$ if hung up on! The company sounds like they need to focus on 100% customer service. I got hung up on by a ex years back in college :rofl: :rofl:

Sorry to hear about you're problem with Adorama. I've never had an issue with them myself. Any company can have some jerks working for them or someone just having a bad day, but what other photo company has a rep monitoring photo web sites and responding immeadiately like Helen does. She is always ready to help and I'm glad she's here.
