I’m out of $3,500. Don’t be the next one. Within receiving the camera, it started shutting off on its own. About a month or two later, the camera completely died. That’s when I was told it was actually the wrong model, which meant I could not send it to the U.S. service center for repair. The screenshots show the model that was represented to me versus what was actually provided. Instead of resolving the issue with a refund or proper replacement, the company kept the camera for a long time and dragged this into court. There was also ongoing confusion about who actually owns or operates the business, which made getting a straight answer extremely difficult. I tried to handle this professionally and privately before posting publicly. I’m sharing this so others can protect themselves — verify all equipment details in writing and be very cautious about leaving your gear or money with this business.

Do not order I repeat do not order online from here, I purchased a rf 85 1.2 online using affirm monthly installments. They shipped the package and then delivered it back to the original place from where it shipped. Affirm gladly solved the problem and did not hold me accountable. Do NOT pay in full money if you purchase online you will get scammed I never got the package.

After four days from my order, they are not answering my emails, nor answering the phone. I've paid almost 2k for an item I don't even know when/if they are going to ship!

Do not even visit this site or put something in your cart. I added something while shopping around, and after not even a day I have received 4 emails and 3 phone calls regarding this item, despite me unsubscribing each time and ignoring all the calls. I also didn't even consent to any emails, but got them anyways. This place is EXTREMELY spammy and you should avoid doing business with them at all costs.

Deals All Year (brick and mortar) and Global Camera USA (Amazon) share the same physical address. 445 NJ-23 b, Pompton Plains, NJ 07444. My purchase was from their Amazon entity. I also took note of a post on Canon Price Watch that stated this business is the former Ryther Camera in NJ. I purchased a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L is II USM Lens - 9524B002 (Renewed) from them going through Amazon for $2,347.57 which included sales tax. The lens is covered by the Amazon 90 return policy. They promptly shipped the lens. It was nicely packed. Once received I looked it over for any physical damage. None noted. Placed the lens on the shelf to be used at a later date. Had no rush to check lens, due to the 90 day return policy. A short time later I ran some focusing test with a commercial lens testing software using a focusing chart. The auto-focus seemed defective. I then photographed some rapidly moving objects at a high shutter speed using 2 different Canon bodies. Confirmed, auto-focus is not quite correct. Also noted an intermittent clicking noise when the lens was attempting to focus. No problem. I’ll just return it under the Amazon 90 Day return policy for full refund. Applied for a return shipping label via Amazon. Received. As a rule, especially when returning such an expensive item, I take many photographs of the item being returned prior to being re-packed for return shipment. This case was no different. I took in excess of 15 full resolution photographs of this lens, from multiple angles, from approx 18 inches, just minutes before re-packing. This lens did not have any cosmetic issues of any kind. However it does have an internal auto-focusing issues. Re-packed the lens, and dropped if off at my local UPS Store. A few days later I received an Amazon notification that I had a refund for the lens. Checked my account and noted that I was being charge a fee of $438.80. I immediately contacted the seller and inquired what was going on. Someone there using the name Fred b, claimed the lens had ‘marks’ on it and needed to be repaired. This is when I began to think this was a scam in the making. I immediately once again contacted Amazon CS and had them to request a photo of this alleged ‘mark’ upon this lens be sent to me Once I received this photograph, and knowing that this ‘mark’ was not on this lens as I recall, I then knew where this was going. I was out of town and let the seller know that I too had taken photographs of the lens just minutes before return shipping, and once I was back home I would compare my photographs to theirs. Once back home I compared the single low resolution photograph that was sent to me by Fred b, to my 15+ high resolution photographs. This ‘mark’ was not on this lens when I returned it. I sent Fred b 3 of the 15 photographs I had taken. Fred b had no idea I had more images, and I was going see if Fred b would dig himself into a hole. He did. Fred b replied back that my photographs were from far away, and at a different angle. Once he said this, I had no doubt they were attempting to scam me out of $438.00. I immediately contacted Amazon CS and offered the remaining photographs of this lens that I had taken, that clearly indicated there we NO ‘marks’ of any kind upon this lens, anywhere! One of the CS that I had spoken with verified this fact, and opened a claim against the seller. Once Amazon looked at the evidence, I was issued a refund for the $438.80 fee. The issue is now between Amazon and Deals All Year / Global Camera USA. Buyer beware of Deals All Year (brick and mortar) and Global Camera USA (Amazon)

Very unprofessional and sells wrong/bad products. To save everyone time I will provide the shorter story, but if you want to read the full story I will write that up as well. Short Story: Lied to me over email, sells wrong products, unprofessional and misspelled emails, lack of communication. Long Story: I purchased a sony camera with a 5 year extended warranty. The warranty was through MackCam Warranty. A few months later I get a call from MackCam saying that my seller (DealsAllYear) never paid them and therefore they canceled my warranty. I sent an email to DealsAllYear, a week an a half later of silence. I then called DealsAllYear, I was ensured by an employee that an email will be sent to me, a week later, no response. Recalled DealsAllYear, the staff member Steven told me DealsAllYear shifted from MackCam Warranty to a "much better one" and would transfer me a 3 year warranty through this "amazing company". I told him I would not accept a 3 year warranty when I paid for a 5 year, and did not appreciate believing my camera was ensured when it was not. He complied to offer me a 5 year equivalent. Was told that a week from then I would receive the confirmation email. Two weeks later, no response. Emailed DealsAllYear. DealsAllYear responded "We sent this a few days ago" and submitted copied text of a Warranty confirmation; but the newly purchased warranty said it was activated that day. I requested a refund through PayPal, DealsAllYear offered a store discount if I did not refund, even a small compensation if I stayed. All in all, this experience was terrible and do not recommend this company to anyone.

Been 2 weeks and we still never got a tracking number or a answer to any of my emails. We sent 6 or 7. I also sent them a message on facebook. Don't make customers wait for 2 weeks with no answers!

I placed an order for two cameras last week, knowing that they were gray market cameras. I called the store and spoke to Kevin first. He told me that they had the cameras in stock and that they use several warehouses in the US to ship products. So, I made the purchase. A few days later I got a call from Steven. He told me that they did not have the cameras available and that Kevin had wrong information. He said they had to be ordered from a supplier, but he had North American models ready to go. A classic bate and switch, but I was in need of the cameras so I went with it. However, I said I will not pay until they ship, at that point I would do half. Then pay the second half after I had the cameras for a few weeks. Steven promised I would have the cameras by that Friday, and I would have shipping information in a day or two. It was toward the end of the second day and I had nothing. No phone call no additional information. So I tried calling Steven and Kevin directly with no answers. I finally got a hold of Kevin. He said that there was no way I was getting the cameras by Friday and that Steven should not have told me that. Kevin offered to refund me. After going back and forth, I decided to ask for a refund. Kevin said he will process it in the morning (Thursday). The transaction was done in PayPal so it should be an immediate notification. By early evening I had nothing. So yet again I called. Kevin asked for me to remind him what I was talking about. He then Said he already did it and should see something in the morning. He informed me that it had to go through the billing department first. At this point I have been given the run around multiple times, so I contacted PayPal as well. This afternoon PayPal emailed me that the reviewed my case and ruled in my favor. I finally got the refund! I would avoid this company if possible.
