If you have ever bought from Adorama, what was your experience like?

Good service?
Fast processing and delivery?
etc.

No problems, bought lots of stuff from them 10 years ago (simply have not had much to buy since then!). Not much different than dealing with B&H.

No problems here either. They're a reputable dealer.

Occasionally. I've never had a problem. B&H remains my primary source, but Adorama is solidly number two.

Very good. Absolutely no problems. Pricing about the same as B&H, sometimes a little less. However, I find the shipping charges much more than B&H. Adorama does not charge your cc until shipment. B&H does.
Adorama is Amazon's main photo gear supplier. That should tell you something.

Yes, yes & yes! I purchased my camera from them, through Amazon & I later got my 85mm lens directly from their website. I plan on doing business with them again! :)

Wrong!! It's just my shared lineage with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

I prefer B&H. They shipped faster(1 day) vs. 3-4 days for Adorama based on my experienced. Other than that I have no problem.

I ordered from them during the Christmas rush. They shipped faster than I expected for that time of year. I won't hesitate to order from them, or B&H, again.

They seem to take somewhat longer on shipping, but at least they don't close every Saturday. No problems and would order from them again.

Adorama is on par with B&H...They actually had a better deal on a 1DmkIIn than B&H did. I ordered it at 3 pm and had it in my hands the following morning. I can't complain about their speed of processing and shipping.

I've placed about 5 or 6 orders from them in the past 3 monts ranging from $150-$400. Had to return 2 items (because I misread the description). All my orders ship the day after i order. Never had a problem and got my credit for the returned item in about 5 days.

No problems with two orders now. Then were $10 cheaper then B&H on the 70/200 2.8 so I went with them.

i've ordered my 24-70 and 70-200IS from adorama, i would have ordered from B&H however B&H doesn't like taking international credit cards that have more then 1500 in the transaction, they ask for a wire transfer, adorama were happy to take my order :)

Both orders arrived within 5 days (3 business days, damn weekend! :)) to australia. Will definately order more lenses from them, but i'll still order all my below 1500 purchases from B&H

Companies like Costco get their merchandise from them. If you live in the east cost, delivery is a little pricey, but the goods always arrive on time and well protected.
