Verified Reviewer |Resolved: They just send me the wrong items. And they don't care.
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. They sent me what I ordered.
I asked for a return label but on December the second, I received one tripod, the tether support, and a keyboard stand.
Attached are the back-and-forth emails showing the incapacity or unwillingness of Adorama to understand what items they have sent me.
Yesterday (12/08), I got an email from Mr. David Gelb, from the Adorama use department, asking me to call then. I did return the call, but nobody answered.
I left a message.
Now, I'm on back-and-forth emails with Mr. Gled, because I can't be home during the day,
I will call again today.

Verified ReviewerTerrible customer service. Terrible exchange experience
- No pros
- Lousy compensation for inconveniences
- No consistency with info their technicians give
- Lousy customer service
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
User's recommendation: STAY AWAY
Resolved: Ripped off
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with product or service ordered. It has only been a few weeks but so far their repairs are working, so I am back snapping away.
I will update as more time goes by. It took a while to convince them to do the right thing but they eventually did..
They seem to really know how to make it last just past the used warranty. I begged them for help since warranty or not spending this much money on 5 months of use is for poor and they refused to do anything. If I had a company and this happened I would be ashamed to let this go. This is wrong and a total rip off.
I was hesitant to buy used but I read a lot of reviews saying they were a great company and their used gear could be trusted. I am guessing they were fake reviews since it is absolutely not true.
I just heard back from them again and they refuse to do anything.
they are obviously just looking to rip you off. No matter what the warranty says, a camera breaking after 5 months and $800 is a giant ripoff!
- No pros
- Wil rip you off
- Lousy customer service
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Don't buy here, customer service is terrible.
Misleading trade-in sales
User's recommendation: Shop for much better and fairer trade-in pricing than with Adorama.

Verified ReviewerTerrible Customer Service
I placed an order for some video equipment. The order is processed and my account is debited with no issues.
A few hours later I received an email that my order was cancelled due to verification failure.
After 7 emails and 1 voicemail that were not returned, I finally got the ability to wait on hold for the "verification" department. After sitting on hold for 15 minutes, the CSR was extremely rude and could not provide any reason for the issue.style="
I called back to sales and was quickly routed to the customer service department.
After a lengthy hold, I was told they could not tell me anything.
Both CSRs stated my order had been rejected though the the website said my order was in the shipping process. Even after the 2nd CSR emailed saying he cancelled the order, the website does not reflect the cancellation.

Verified ReviewerThey sell a used/refurbished one as a new one
(Update) They contacted me but insisted on the same thing, pre-registered warranty. Stay away from them!
However, they couldnt troubleshoot the issue because they said the printer was already registered by someone in New Jersey. I wondered how the warranty for the new printer was registered by someone else even though it's a brand new one. So I contacted Adorama and explained what had happened. They said they will investigate the case.
On the following day, they emailed me that they just updated the warranty information instead of giving me the investigation result about why the new printer was already registered by someone in NJ.
I didn't ask for a warranty update or give permission to release my information for warranty updates. I called them and they said that some models come with some warranty time preloaded, which I have never heard of.
I called Ricoh customer service and asked if its the case. They said they had never heard of such things and the warranty should be registered by a buyer/end-user. They added that it is illegal for vendors to update warranty information using customers' personal information without permission.
They said the printer would have been returned/refurbished and sold it as a new one. Also, they said Ricoh never registers any products in the warranty before selling them.
Adorama still insists its a new printer.
Even though its obvious that they sold the used printer as a new one, they said I cant return the printer and refused to issue because the 30-day return period had already passed. And now I am stuck with the printer that does not work at all.
