    Sold my boss a camera on December 5th, said it would arrive two weeks later on the 19th, 4 days later (AFTER paying) said they actually don't have that camera anymore and we'd have to pay $50 more for a different camera and wait longer for it to arrive, also denied having claimed it would arrive on the 19th in the first place. The only other option they gave was for us to pay for the entire new order in full and THEN get refunded for the original order, so no offer of just refunding the original order so we can find the same product elsewhere, BOTH options required us to pay more for a different camera than was originally paid for, which is pretty disgusting.We then tried logging in to the website to try just canceling the order and requesting a refund instead of upgrading to a more expensive camera, but now either our account is disabled or the website is too buggy to log in and do so. We've now asked a sales representative for a refund (we were easily able to find the camera from another vendor), but are skeptical from the other customer comments and business's replies and generally shady business practices that a refund will be granted. TLDR: This appears to be a bad company staffed by bad people, would recommend avoiding them at all costs.
