I have another order to place and want to be more careful than i was w/ swfa and the restocking fees. Is CameralandNY considered a high quality reputable place to buy equipment? They seem to have good prices and reasonable shipping but wanted to ck w/ you folks first.
 
Yes, they are I've bought (and returned items) with no hassle and no restocking fee. If you return an item that had free shipping they charge you $10 for the original shipping.

Cameraland NY is the spotting scope forum sponsor here.

And Doug (gr8fuldoug) is here regularly.

So they're not one of those Brooklyn companies. ;)

Yes. 1st class company and Doug is great!
 
Another vote for Cameraland. I´ve bought from them, both over the counter and by mail, and have received excellent service.
 
Hello RdFish1,

Cameraland in New York, is my preferred vendor. However, I have never had to return anything.

Happy bird watching,
Arthur Pinewood
 
Great service. Ordered my first binocular from them a couple of months ago. In addition I got a picture of their team, a nice thank you letter, and a cameraland hat. And it was properly packaged.

Now that is truly great service.

And coffee. Don't forget the coffee ;)
 
Wouldn´t that make the letters all soggy?

That's why you have waterproof bins ;)

Doug and Neil were starting up a coffee making business so they'd throw in a little vacuum packed lump of ground coffee. It was pretty potent. Not sure if they're still doing that but they are prone to throw something extra in. The hat was a nice extra too.

No coffee in mine, but the extra touches are outstanding in today's business environment.

Best of luck to them in the coffee business too. Yes, the extra touches are superb. I know it sounds cheesy, but after having my younger brother visit Cameraland last year when he was on a trip to NYC and buy me a pair of Nikon compacts, it was really nice, when I ordered another pair of bins by mail, to get a photo of the Cameraland crew in the box. Oddly, they looked absolutely nothing like the image I had in my head after speaking to Doug by phone.
