Just wondering based on previous knowledge and experience what most know/think about purchasing from this business. Prices appear to be great and reviews I’ve seen are conflicting.

 reviews I’ve seen are conflicting. 

 

That would be a red flag for me but I don't have any experience with them. 

 

I'm sure others here can help you.

In most cases I have seen where prices are more than a few bucks cheaper than the known companies, it is because the items are gray market.  Same item but no US warranty and Nikon US won't touch it.

 

Not suggesting that the place you mentioned is doing that - just suggesting that should you decide to purchase, it would be a good idea to confirm that you are purchasing a non-gray market item.

 

I have heard that name before, but that is about it.  I tend to stay with B&H.

The last item I bought from them was a Nikon MD-14 for the Nikon FG. It was new, in the box, with US warranty- as advertised.

 

That was 25 years ago.

 

Ask about the warranty, items included, and return policy. Putting on a credit card also gives some assurances.

No, when you try to make a purchase from them it gets denied, then they call you and up sell you. They don't include a battery or the charger in Cameras.They try and sell you those things separately. I made the mistake of letting them scam me. I quickly realized that the accessories are included with the Nikon D500 I bought which is a Grey market version and has no warranty. I called them to cancel my order which they agreed to do only to charge my CC and send it to me anyway. Then when you try to return it they charge you a 15% restocking fee.
