Broadway Photo

I know I shouldn't have, but because they were the only place I could find with availability of the Canon 5D Mark II Kit with the 24-105 IS L Series zoom, I placed the order at $3495. But then the next day they wanted to verify some information, but really just wanting to sell me stuff I didn't need, and then, to top it off, thety tried to slip in on me an extra $279 charge for insurance.

I said cancel the order. The the agent spoke to his supervisor and said they could do it for $105 insurance. I said I wanted to cancel the order so that is what they did.

I then placed the same order at Adorama but it is backordered. So I wait. But at Adorama I was treated with respect and professionalism.

Never again will I go to Broadway.

They also did that to me as well several months ago when I order the canon 50D.

Don't ever do business with those crooks!

ok so it appears you read up on them and realized they were crooks and still ordered 3500 worth of gear from them?

that makes no sense to me

I didn't know they were crooks. I knew they had the same price as B&H and Adorama, so I thought they were legitimate, as opposed to Bingo and Rogers, who advertise prices that are too good to be true.

I felt sick to my stomach when I started seeing all the bad reviews. But it was confirmed, without a doubt, when they tried to charge me an 8% insurance fee.

Anyway, the Adorama experience was very positive, and my order was only backordered for two days. The camera kit is scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Thursday 6/25).

They are scam artists. You are better off getting the camera from a reputable store like Adorama. Amazon and B&H are also good places as well.

had a similar incident with broadway. absolute crooks.

Dude, never, even in dire need, go to those scam places. I'm sorry for your bad experience.
