Anyone know where they ship from?

I was wondering how fast their free shipping is. It says on their site 7-10 days. Just curious how many people live around New England area and got items faster.

Oddly enough, Abes of Maine is located in New Jersey. Yup, that's right ...

This is from their web page:

Welcome to Abe�s of Maine. Let us tell you a little about our history.

We are a family run business, who has been in operation since 1979. From our humble beginnings in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, where we started as a mom and pop retail store, after several years of beginning our mail-order business, made the move to NYC in September 1986. There on Coney Island Ave. in Brooklyn, we built up our company into a reliable and reputable establishment.

Well known locally and globally, we made our current move and home to our brand new state of the art warehouse and retail showroom in Raritan Center, in Edison NJ. We continue to serve all our loyal customers with the service we are famous for all across the United States and worldwide. We do our best to meet the needs of our customers. Here at Abe�s we believe in going out of our way to put the customers comfort and happiness first. We believe when a person is spending their hard earned money, they deserve the absolute best service and product we can deliver.

Hope it works for you. I tend to prefer spending my $$ at Amazon or trips to B&H.

Well I ordered a flash two nights ago and it should be here today. I guess that is very fast shipping if you ask me.

Better check your CC. I ordered a camera from them several years ago and someone there went to a Circut City down the street from their store and tried to buy $5000.00 in camera equipment. They didn't get the items since they ordered on the internet for pick-up and when they went to the store they had to provide the CC. It did charge to my card tho but was quickly reveresed.
