Question:

I ordered a brand new Softbox and the package arrived on Monday 2/8. When I opened the shipping container (which was perfectly fine and intact), the manufacturer's box looked worn and re-taped as if it was an open-box item. When I opened the manufacturer's box, there were no tags or any product information material in it. When I removed the softbox from the case, I was horrified to find that the softbox looked USED, the metal ribs were BROKEN and screws were missing or had fallen out. I was sent a broken (and probably used) item! I immediately called your customer service and Polly told me to send (via email) pictures of: the item, manufacturer's box and shipping carton. I did as she instructed that same day. The next day, Tuesday 2/9, I receive an email from Polly (from a different email than the one she told me to use) reminding me to send her an email with the pics. So this time, I copied the email I had already sent the previous day, attached the pictures again, and sent as a reply to the email she had written me from. I have not heard back yet. All I want to do is get this item exchanged for what I paid for: a brand NEW undamaged, working softbox. It didn't even come with the bulb that it was supposed to come with. I have never had a problem with Adorama before and I have ordered from you many times over the years. Should I continue waiting for Polly or someone from your customer service to email me back? Please help.

Answer:
Hi Laurie It sounds as though Polly was not able to open the file and may not even have realised you sent it. Can I ask you to send the pictures directly to me - I have a capacity for receiving larger files - also your order number. And I will look after you from here. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience and disappointment caused and I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes Helen Oster Adorama Camera Customer Service Ambassador Helen@adorama.com

Question:

Horrible. I placed my order on Dec. 7,2015. Now, twelve days passed, UPS facility does not receive the shipment but Adorama already charged me because of using the tricky term "drop-ship". NEVER ORDER FROM ADORAMA.

Question:

When they say an iPad is new, can be sure it is new?

Answer:
You can`t be even sure that it is in stock. They attract traffic with low prices. I was recently put on hold for a sweet deal on cinema camera (that is why I am here) and finally they cancelled my order. Price was too good to be true.

Question:

How long does it usually take for an email response? My first email was sent to Polly at Adorama on 2/8. Then Helen from Adorama advised me (through this Q&A board) to send the email to her instead, which I did on 2/12. I hadn't heard anything back, so I also sent a follow up email yesterday, 2/18. Please advise. Thank you.

Answer:
Dear Laurie I have not received any emails at all from you - I have checked my spam and my trash. Please send ONLY your order number to me: Helen@adorama.com. Do not attach or include pictures. Helen Oster Adorama Camera Helen@adorama.com
