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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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!!!!!
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!!!
