Looking like bad news.. stick with Adorama, B&H or Cameta Camera.
You get what you pay for with them.

I ran from them for advertising one price NEW for something that was used. Run.

Having used 42nd Street once, I have not filed a consumer complaint against them. They do not advertise that they sell gray market and are not an authorized dealer. And they lie about it.
Stick with B&H, Adorama or anyone else recommended here.

Bought a Canon 18-135 is stm from them. Got it when I was told, came with a USA warranty card and was considerably less than other places. It has been flawless for over a year now.
Looking at reviews, there are some negative and a lot positive. Same as with most internet stores.
As with everything, ask questions, get all the info you can and make sure you are getting what is advertised.

I have not dealt with them online. However I have been to their store looking for a particular lens. They pushed, I mean pushed, a low quality 2x tele converter and told me I didn't need that lens and this would be better. I walked out and would not deal with them.

Why? To save a few dollars ($10-$20 to be exact) - You can buy from any number of completely reputable companies Samy's in CA, Hunt's in MA, B&H in NY, Unique Photo in NJ, etc. And there are at least 8 Tamron dealers within 150 miles of Phillips according to Tamron's dealer locator.
42nd street photo is not an authorized reseller.
