    A Sordid Story
By: JohnKDavis, September 19th, 2002  

My experience with Foto Connection exposed manipulative sales techniques and bad business practices.

First, when I placed my order, paying over $2,800 for the merchandise (good price) and almost $50 for normal ground shipping (normal) I received a Confirmation Request via e-mail detailing the transaction and asking me to call Jack to confirm my web-order.

Exactly one hour later I received another e-mail message. It looked a lot like the first, but the subject line now said, "Order is On-Hold" and the message requested that I contact Jack regarding a problem with my order details. This message got my attention and I called immediately.

Jack explained that the problem was that I had neglected to purchase  > Read full review...

    Good price, so-so service, warranty mixup
By: kylehagemann, September 12th, 2002  

I ordered a Sony DCR-TRV27 camcorder thru fotoconnection.com, based on its reviews here. I got the expected hard-sell for accessories and the Mack warranty. I had not heard of Mack before, so I said I'd call him back after some research. He lowered the offered price from 199 to 159, and I said let me call you back. More hard-sell, but I got off the line long enough to research it. After some thinking, I decided to decline the warranty, which I told him, twice. My order showed up on time and in good condition, all accessories, and USA warranty. It also included an invoice with the Mack warranty at 159!!! I called back to complain, and was offered the warranty(3yr) for $109 ($50 credit) or a refund. $109 seemed reasonable enough, so  > Read full review...

    Shop Here!!!
By: jsimp1, September 11th, 2002  

This company is by far the most professional company I have dealt with for purchasing my Canon GL-2.
Great service over the phone (not pushy) shipped as promised. I would recommend to others.

    Worst Service Ever Encountered!
By: sheiksadiq, September 7th, 2002  

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING WITH THIS COMPANY. THIS COMPANY IS AN UTTER NIGHTMARE!!! After placing an order on the internet with them we recieved an e-mail saying that no order could go through without us calling them back to confirm. This e-mail was sent after business hours on the Fri after we ordered so we couldn't confirm til the next Monday. When we confirmed, we found that it was merely a sales pitch to sell us unwanted accessories. Sales rep assured that order would ship immediately. 2 days later we recieved an e-mail saying that our order was confirmed. 4 days after that, assuming that our order would arrive any moment, we updated our new billing address with our credit card co. 3 days after that (now about 13 days  > Read full review...

    Placed an order on Monday....
By: AlvinPIE_dt1, August 28th, 2002  

Placed an order on Monday. Got an email confirmation right away. On Tuesday morning, I received an email asking me to call sales for confirmation. (I guess it's just a way for them to do some hard sell on some unnecessary accessories.) I called and left a message. On Wednesday, I got a confirmation on Order cancellation which never took place. And there was no reason given. Thanks for wasting 3 days of my time!!!

By: Contours_dt1, August 24th, 2002  

Ordered and received a Sony FD-97 digital camera. This was a rare find and after several administrative snags I managed to take delivery quickly. But in the process of clearing up the pre-delivery problems I was hit hard with a sales pitch for several accessories. I eventually caved on a case and filter set. There was a promise that I could return anything I wasn't totally satisfied with

By: camerabuyer_dt2, August 24th, 2002  

I bought an Olympus 720 digital camera, price was on low end. I did have to call and confirm my order, a quick run through on options but no high pressure sales techniques. Product was shipped quickly, and they were in constant contact with me during the shipping process. Would buy again from this site.

    Good Service, Little Hassle
By: browere, August 23rd, 2002  

My experience was just like another opinion listed. When I ordered, they asked me to call "to confirm the order" and asked 2 or 3 times on the phone to buy accessories at a "discounted rate." I knew that their accessories are way over-priced (this is where I think they make their money), and simply refused. Since I expected them to do this, it caught me at no surprise.

In a few days, as promised, the camcorder came. When I discovered a manufacture defect I called them back and they asked me to send it back. Within 5 days, they sent a replacement camcorder without any hassle.

By: suzanne_dt2, August 17th, 2002  

Ordering was easy. Sales knew as much as I did about the product and used the hard sell on accessories, which I found elsewhere at a far better price. They forgot to send email confirmation, but sent the Sony DSC-F707 camera on time arriving in perfect condition. I wish they had confirmed the order, as I was worried after reading so many bad reviews about some other vendors. All in all it was a good experience.
