OK, he sucks. Kill him in the gas chamber. (Q. - Did Doug place the advert, or was it on the website? If so, what did he really owe you? I agree if he offered you a gift certificate he needs to deliver, but it sounds like he was trying to do right by you. ) Doug called me and offered a $25 gift certificate for a range finder that was advertised wrong...Never got it in spite of 3 calls and 2 emails.

I'm NOT defending Boxer.......but just because some of you have experienced good customer service from CL does not mean other's bad experience didn't happen.
The experience I posted earlier did, in fact, happen.......I informed Doug of the issue and he didn't even offer an apology for his scumbag employee calling my wife and lying to her to get her to pay more for a different product......all this after they sold me a defective camera and then tried to tell me I just didn't know how to operate it (this after I had contacted the manufacturer who confirmed it was defective and told me to return it to place of purchase).
If you have had good luck with CL.....great.....but there are those of us that have had problems and your good luck doesn't change that fact.

Whether true or not, its hard to persuade someone who's had just the opposite experiences... personally I've had quite a few dealings and purchases with them over the last 15 years and the pleasure of talking with all three of them with great service in each case, but also I've never had to return anything or recieved any bad product from them.
As to finding better deals elsewhere, I do find that really hard to believe.

No issues here in more than a few purchases. They've always been friendly, reasonable, and shipped quickly. No, Cameraland is not going to be the cheapest on everything you buy. It's a tall order and probably not the right business decision to be the cheapest every time. I'm sure they screw up at times and piss some people off. It happens. I don't always buy from them but I do think the good far outweighs the bad.

Phil You'd be hard pressed to beat Doug's advertised sales. If you want something not on sale, or found a better price, call Doug and he'll at least match it.

Quite a few dealings with Doug and the CL crew since 2005 and all good with no problems ever.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.

I have never had any dealings with them. If I seen one person whining about something and a hundred other good reviews, myself I would just chalk up the one as a "loon"
However for people like myself, on the outside looking in- now that I see more than that has had a bad go-around with them. I will very quickly and firmly cement this into my mind.
In my thinking if you don't handle crap on the front end, it will bite you in the ass. No matter if you think you can ride it out with a heavy group of satisfides.
I was never in retail, but my experience in my business providing a service- I make damn sure that I didnt't drag my ass when a small issue had the potential to blow up. I got a ton of competitor's clientel because they lazy, had ignoramouses working for them, too busy smoking dope and riding their waverunner at the lake, gone for 3 weeks deer hunting. Yeah f uck that, you lost a sale and a repeat customer and everyone/anyone that person could've reccommended you to.
So....better pull a rabbit out of your ass

If you want to get seriously disappointed, order from PTG. They make any customer service story into a boring tale of nothingness.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Guys,
I have read all the posts and I would like to thank those who have taken the time to post. Both praise and criticism. We try, however, unfortunately we are not perfect. Sometimes things fall through the cracks and all we can do at that point is our best to correct the situation.
If a situation ever arises I do ask that you give me a call, 516-217-1000, so I can handle it personally. Neil and Scottie and all of our crew are great guys, however, I'm the guy in charge and the only way to improve our operation is to correct these issues and work to see that they do not get repeated.
I called Larry today to discuss this issue with him and do what I can to make things right with him. He's upset, with good reason. It was too late to get with the mfg. today and I intend to do all I can to rectify this 1st thing Monday morning. I will do my best to get his item to him as quickly as possible, hopefully before the week is out. He asked me to "impress him". I will do what I can and hope when all is said and done he can enjoy the product and have many years of great service from it.
Thanks again for the input.
