Easy to find my way around the website to locate what I am looking for. The price is right and always given the option to purchase a warrenty. As always checkout is smooth.

Website is excellent. Prices of products are favorable.

so far, very good, great prices, i will elaborate in the future after i received camera

simple, fast

I ain’t get nothing I bought from y’all I’m reporting this site and suing this site if I don’t get anything I’ve ordered from here

Very easy to navigate the website and

very easy and fast application process.

I ordered a camera Canon r7 from AbeS but it never came. It was sent through FedEx and actually FedEx lost it but when I called abes of Maine they said no. FedEx is still going to deliver it then. I called FedEx and they said no. We contacted abes of Maine and they said to them that it was lost. OMG I'm getting the runaround.
Now when I call they send me to an answering machine. I email them. I never get responses. This business is not a good business to deal with now. I have called my credit card company to dispute my charges. I received no product!
STAY CLEAR OF THIS BUSINESS!

They advertise on google, they are making product available and shown in stock on their site, after you purchase you get a call offering an upgrade and if you don't take an upgrade, they just tell that it is on a backorder for 2-3 months. Worst.

Scammers. Stay far away from this despicable company.

They will sell you an international model camera (noted on the site in fine print with no mention of the fact that international models don't come with a real warranty. Then they try to upsell you an American version of the product for (much) higher price (usually including a low quality kit lens or two). If you know this going in and don't mind no warranty, then their prices are good. But I found their practice to be essentially bait and switch.

This is classic bait and switch followed up with high pressure up-selling tactics. On 6/21/25 my wife placed an order for a Sony a7IV camera body, for about $1700. On Sunday 6/22/25 she received a call, to "verify" the order. This turned into a discussion about how the $1700 model was not a US model and would have no warranty. But conveniently they had a bundle for a US model for about $2300. Come to find out, the bundle they were offering actually had a price of $1800 on their website. They were immediately emailed about this discrepancy. We received no response. I called on Monday 6/23/25 at exactly 8:12AM EST since they open at 8:00Am to cancel the order since it had not shipped yet. I talked to the same person that scammed my wife. His name was Adam at ext 208. I said I wanted to cancel the order. He was immediately very belligerent and threatening and refused to cancel the order even though it had not shipped. Be careful. They will not verify anything in writing or email. Everything is done over the phone so they can lie. I immediately called my credit card company.

This place is a scam. Half the reviews below are fake. Don’t fall for the bait and switch. The salesman “Michael” lied about the included accessories and was incredibly rude on the phone. Worst business I’ve dealt with in a long time

Website homepage is set up well. Menu was easy to read. Product lists were clear and detailed. Selection and payment process was quick and clear.

I wish I would have investigated their business practices before ordering. They bait and switch the products sold. I was told I would receive the US version of a Canon camera. I try to register through Canon US and it does not work. States it is NOT a US supported product. Stay Away for Abe's.

Great price. Great buying experience.
Just perfect,
