I like a good deal, just like everyone else, and sometimes I buy into the hype of a sick price before I read further so here's my heads up to you.
Do not buy anything from ACameraPackages.com
I bought a camera body from them early yesterday morning (like 500 dollars off regular price), and paid for express overnight shipping (My other camera body officially kicked the can). I felt hesitant about the order because it was a fairly simple site, but assumed it was a smaller business, maybe new, and purchased anyways.
After getting out of class 12 hours later and nothing having happened with my order, I looked at saw my card was being processed "offline" and there was really no information on my invoice. Started digging and noticed several buttons did not click on the site.
Their "store locations" are all Home Depot's in Southern Florida, but they say they're in Brooklyn, and you have to call a Los Angeles phone number to contact them.
That's when I found several people who purchased from this company, then started receiving fraudulent charges on their card, getting sent the wrong equipment, "grey market" equipment, or nothing at all. They call you and try to up-sell you a different camera then claim the one you ordered is out of stock, etc.
Basically, I'm stupid, cancelled my card before the charge went through and bought the higher priced camera from a reliable site, like I should have in the first place.
But don't be me, check your sources, don't get screwed. Don't be an idiot.
