I bought from them about five or six years ago and it was a hassle getting my order straight. Also wonder if their price is for a USA model? I doubt it.
Abe's of Maine hasn't seen a Maine lobster in a long, long time. They moved to Brooklyn and then to NJ.
While occasionally somebody will say they had a good experience, it isn't the norm. In your case Best Buy is most likely the better buy.

Look I fully realize just about everyone knocks the hell out of this place ---
My experience has been different ----
From them --- I purchased my 1st DSLR in 2010 - 5D MkII --- Late last year 11/16 I purchased my 2nd DSLR - 5DS
In total I have saved $1,000 -- $500 per camera
Oh yes neither Camera was Gray Market -- Both have the full Canon USA Warranty
Now ask lots of questions (like what comes/does not come with the camera) make no assumptions make damn sure your getting what you paid for --- Do all that & I'm sure you will be OK
I purchased a light there 3 years ago. Little slow but no real complaints. I wouldn't have bought it there if it wasn't cheaper. Tho I agree Bill. You'd think they could find a better name by now.
All good to know. Headed to bestpry and try to talk myself into waiting for canon to ship one.

There have been so many positive comments on this site for B&H; its pricing
and excellent customer service. Why go elsewhere??????
B&H has a sale on that ends later today. Check them out.
That's pretty funny that they actually have a url with the misspelled word, Maine
Reminds of when realtor.com first came into being and some enterprising small, private company in Florida created a url with the common mispronunciation: realAtor.com
Smart!
Before you buy, check the Canon USA website for prices on refurbished models.

Be careful. They sell a lot of grey goods that do not carry the manufacturers warranty. Stick with B&H or Adorama.My 2 cents
I bought a compact camera from them a couple of years ago. I got a message that they were delaying shipment until I called them back about 'an issue with my order'. The 'issue' was to listen to a 20 minute spiel about extended warranties, spare batteries, memory cards, camera bag, straps etc. I declined everything and received my order quickly after that. The camera was fine - US warranty.
From their web site - "All Products include USA Manufacturer's Warranty unless otherwise stated".

Maybe just allowing for people who can't spell. Abesofmain.com redirects to abesofmaine.com.
If you live in the states be sure that it is a USA model. I have bought 2 cameras from them, both USA models-not gray market, both excellent deals. Company is not in Maine, I think it is in either NY or Jersey. No hassle either time, fast ship cheap price for mine.
