There is a reason it even beats Amazon. When it's too good to be true, it usually is. The company takes advantage of bargain hunters like yourself. BEWARE.
You should research this site for posts about Abes of Maine.

Some years ago I contacted them 'bout a D610 at a really good price. The salesman told me he'd indeed sell me the camera at the advertised price but it didn't come with anything... AND all the controls were in Japanese!! but, for a couple hundred dollars more.... I told him for another $50 off the price, I'd tell him how to change the in-camera language. That's 'bout as far as we got... So, in my opinion... they're assholes....

If the ad says 'body only' then you will get body only. They will charge extra for the battery, the strap, the box, the documentation and any sort of warranty.

Check this out! Stay away from Abe's of Maine and 42nd Street Photo Shop. Your stress level will be considerably lower if you do.

second, third to infinity agree with all the people saying run away.. Do google search!. They were forced out of Maine because of shady business practices (in NJ now I think)......Use B&H or someone else!.. Beware of using Amazon by the way because the provider could be one of the bad ones. Amazon does a pretty good job of policing but...
