Is it virtuous to buy from Razz Photo? I want to buy a Canon XH A1 High
I want to buy a Canon XH A1 High Definition Camcorder, which cost over $3000. Except Razz Photo. They have it for $999. I'm getting pretty suspisious. Does anyone hold any experiences with Razz Photo?
Answers: I only (2/18/08) tried using Razz Photo to purchase a digital HD camcorder. Like you, I was suspicious. I Googled them, read retailer reviews, etc. Some complaints, but the typical "bait & switch," upselling pressure type of stuff. I thought, "I can say no to upselling, no problem." So I ordered online. Today I go and get the expected phone call, and they guy say "do you want the 2-hr or the 4-hr battery?" And I say-so, "I'll just hold the one that comes with it." To which he replies, "It doesn't come near a battery," which is amazingly surprising to me and kind of ridiculous. Does it come beside a lens? Hard drive? Etc. I've never heard of a camcorder that ships minus a battery! And, lying on that, of course there's no mention on the network site that the price shown does not include a battery! But, regardless, I resolve to play along, and I say, "OK, only just ship it without a freestyle." And then, the sale guys goes, "Well, to ship it lacking a battery, it have to come from overseas, and it could take a long time." At that point, I said, "newly cancel my proclaim." But, I'm sure my credit card will still be charged, so I'll have to do business with that. I incontestably would strongly recommend AGAINST buying from this shady outfit! "If it seems too suitable to be true, it is!" applies here. One other thing - I saw on another forum that Razz Photo is equal company as "BestPriceCameras.com" so I would avoid them, too. Good luck!
