They have a used lens I am interested in at a decent price. But they are not Adorama or B&H.
I have not heard of them prior to this.
Does anyone have a character reference on them before I send $$$ ?

Thanks,

Haven't heard of them ... you mentioned Adorama and B&H, have you checked out KEH? They have the same reputation as B&H and Adorama.

I bought a Lee Foundation Kit from them and I received it very fast. Not a problem from them. Just be careful it's not a used grey market lens as Nikon can be a little difficult in a repair if it's ever needed.

Unique is a reputable NJ dealer, with a large store and an even larger mail order business.
No problems in dealing with them.

I am a regular at Unique on Rte 46 in Fairfield. They have another store just opened in Hoboken. Good selection, service, instruction and workshops. Very happy with them.

Just make sure you check the return policy - and that is true for any company- Some charge restocking fees if you return. Any good company will allow a 30 day return policy!

Ken,
I've dealt with Unique Photo a number of times and never had any issues with them.
Just check their warranty & return policy before you buy from them.
They are great to deal with and the staff knows their stuff.

Never used them or even been there but they have been around a while, I've been getting ads and e-mail from them for 2-3 years now, if that's any help, they do have events etc and trips I think, just easier for me to get to B&H then out to them in NJ, If worried why not check BBB? Bob.

Ken,

They are equivalent to the two firms you mentioned and then some. They have their own "Photo Expo", they just sponsored a walk in Liberty State Park with instructive photo ops along the way and no fee equipment rentals, and they have specialized photo get togethers. I attended the one for film users. They served pizza and drinks. They also have a loyalty program. In my opinion they are an excellent and nearby store.

Because BBB ratings are bought, not earned.
