Stay Away..Stay Far Away

by gadgetguru2002 , Oct 21 '02
This merchant, while having cheap prices for camcorders and shipping, will keep you waiting and waiting for the merchandise. I ordered a camcorder and some accessories on a Sunday, was told all items were in stock and that everything would ship within...

Good price, good product, lousy after-sales

by alkhemy , Nov 07 '03
Sales was excellent. I ordered a Sony DCR TRV38 and a Samsonite tripod online. A sales rep called to confirm my order (first time buyer) and asked if I wanted any accessories. I said "maybe next month" and he was fine with that, and gave me a confirmation ...

They don't stand behind sales hype

by philxx , Dec 04 '02
The salespeople I contacted on the phone were not up to date on product specifications. When I discovered the item Protek sold me did not match specs quoted on the phone, they would not take back or make good on another purchase. I will not buy from them...

Very late, inaccurate communications

by mgottlieb , Nov 21 '02
Every telephone communication with Protekdirect resulted in false information being provided to me. Three times I was told that my product had been shipped but the tracking number was unavailable because it came from the "alternate warehouse," when, in...

Don't buy from this company

by promete , Jan 02 '03
Don't buy from this company. They pretend to sell new products but they send used ones even if you think you pay for a new one.

Then they put you in a circle that if you want to exchange, you have pay return shipment, you have to pay 15 %...

Not bad at all!

by thochen , Oct 21 '02
Bought a Canon S30 from them after shopping around. They didn't have the absolute best price, but after shipping they were the lowest. Order arrived in the expected 5 business days, real US product, not "gray market." No greasy feeling afterwards. And...

Nervous, but successful

by iowa_guy , Sep 18 '02
Had to order over the phone for product. Great price, but lots of overpriced accessories they tried to sell me. I said NO, and still got my product on time.

Protek had a wide selection and lots of accessories to all their products. I wasn't...

EXCELLENT

by esmeraldas7 , May 09 '03
5/9/03 I ordered a Sony Camcorder DCR-TRV22 for $611 total including shipping and insurance. The going rate for this camcorder is $699 plus tax. I figure I saved around $150 by ordering from Protek. Larry, who works at costumer service is friendly and...

STAY AWAY.....SAVE THE AGGRAVATION
by rogerio777 ,Oct 29 '03
I bought a S5000 FUJI from them for $315.00, them I received a call asking if I wanted more memory or a bag or a lens. I politely declined, then the salesman got very nasty and told me that the camera was backordered (It showed in stock in the website) and would not arrive for 2 weeks. DON'T BUY FROM THEM....SPEND A LITTLE MORE AND SAVE THE HEADACHE!!!!!

Highly Recommended.
by misterjames ,Oct 15 '03
I was looking to purchase a Sony TVR39 MiniDV Handy Cam. I found some unbelievable online prices. Okay, here¡¦s the catch! Infinity Cameras and Stop4Cameras both tried to push over priced accessories on me. When I refused the Handy Cam I wanted was on backorder oddly enough. I immediately cancelled my previous orders and took my business to ProTek . They tried to sell me some accessories when I declined there where no problems my camcorder was shipped out the same day. I don¡¦t know how but I received it the following day, even though I only paid for ground shipping.

they sell used cameras! WORST SHOP I´VE EVER EXPERIENCED!
by flarsson ,Oct 16 '03
Unpolite scumbags, thats what they are!
1 They tell their customers to rate them high, and they will get an upgraded shippment (which they charged me for anyway).
2 They sent me a used camera. Fingerprints on the lens, used battery and the manual was read a couple of times.
3 They said that they were going to correct their misstake and put the money back on my account in 7 days, which they havent done. Phoned them and talked to a man who should call me back in a day. He did not! I called them and asked for him and t hey just said that there were no one at protek direct that had that name.
I WOULDNT RECOMEND THIS LOUSY SHOP TO MY WORST ENEMY! THEY ARE JUST A BUNCH OF LIARS!!!
