I think you answered your won question. If you even have to wonder...

Go to their website; check their "Contact Us" section under Customer Service at the bottom of the page. Insert their address into Google maps, and take a look at the building that shows up in street view.

Now decide if you want to do business with them

To be sure, perhaps call their phone number, and see if the location is correct; just in case there might be a mistake.

Run Forrest, run. Stick with the known online companies with storefronts and return policies.

One clue that it's a likely bait and switch ripoff site is when they list a $10 SD card for $150

Then can give you a 50% discount on accessories and only overcharge you by 7 times the value of the accessories.

Did you want batteries with contacts included? Did you want a charger? Did you want a power cord with that charger? Did you want a plug on that power cord? Did you ---????

My guess it you'll place an order and then get an e-mail telling you to call them regarding your order and then the fun will begin. Probably out of stock on the item you order so they'll offer you some off brand item or did you know that the item you bought doesn't come in a box and that's extra. On and on and on, best to deal with those you know you can trust....As always JMHO

STORE FRONTS>>> SEE them or many of them.

I have always found this fellows web page interesting where he puts pictures of the store fronts to camera sellers on-line. The page on this link is primarily for the Brookly and surrounding areas... tons of camera vendors.

However on this page he has links to storefront camera sellers at other cities and other locations:

i bought my camera body (t3i) from them almost 15 months ago. i had no issues, and their price was unbelieveable at the time. i've had no complaints whatsoever.

Whats the value of being able to get in the car and drive it back to the point of purchase if needed?
I'd rather pay a little more and have that piece of mind vs. saving a few bucks and wonder what I'll do if something goes wrong.
I had a similiar experience when I was purchasing my camera, it was about $300 more from a local dealer. Ultimately I purchased locally, the same model for the lesser price was a new camera made for the Asian marketplace and not for the US marketplace. And, I didn't like the extras you had to purchase, battery, battery charger, carry strap, USA warranty and on and on.
There really is something to be said for "buying locally".

If you are sailing on the lowest price seas before you become washed up on the beach of "That item is not in stock", "Did you want the battery pack and charger ?"
you might want to give a look at this website

Here is a hint there has to be a reason B&H was the number one rated internet seller by Consumer Reports.
Even Best Buy sells cameras with those ever so great kits, a 16 gig card, that great $9.95 tripod, the $19.99 bag, the great set of special lens wipes or cleaning cloths.
It is easy enough to be a victim, there is no sense in walking through the "I have a zero balance credit card in my pocket, and that smile and blinking message on your forehead "I want that deal you advertised on the internet" do make it any easier to be the victim of sham, bait and switch deals, grey market bodies and lenses
