Complaint Review: Century 21 Electronics

Googled Nikon D200, and came up with Shopcart.com that listed best buys on this camera. Century 21 had the next to lowest price at $569.00 for the body. I ordered it on Sat, 11-25-06. Recieved email wanting me to call to confirm my order. Rep was named Jason x272 at the business. He confirmed my info and then told me I needed batteries for the camera to work. I told him I had battery for it, but he said it would not work. I told him I didn't care, I just wanted the camera body and nothin else. He said Ok and that my order would be processed within 24 hours. Well, I emailed them on 11-28-06 after reading some info online about this company(ies), to find out the status of my order.


When I got home from work, no email from them so I called them. They were nice, but told me my order was still being processed. (whatever that means). Well, then I recieved an answer to my email of the previous day, and it stated that it would be 6 weeks before I get the camera. (fishy) The shopcart ad for today(11-29-06) has a price of $559.00 for the same camera. I call about availability as their ad says "in stock". and to no surprise 3 weeks before they even have the camera. I want to tell everyone this company is a fraud!They have had over 300 complaints with the New York BBB with in the last 12 months, they have resolved some but some credit card abuses have occurred. I am reporting this to the Internet Fraud Division of the FBI and maybe they can resolve issues with this company.
