I also got screwed by the "too good to be true" prices of Delta camera! Ordered a D90 & a D40 body for my daughter for C-mas - called the other day and the guy said - oh - these are backordered! Really???? So much for my daughter's Cmas present! Sons of B----es! They'd better give me a Full Refund!

DO NOT ORDER A CAMERA FROM DELTA CAMERA! You will not get it!

Very troubling business practices. I called them to see if they had the desired camera being advertised on their site in stock. They were showing a Canon EOS 7D for $1299 which is a good price; sure enough, their phone salesperson says that the have it "IN STOCK", so I placed my order. I will note that at this time, I also received the same high pressure sales tactics that they other complaints on this site are reporting for Delta Cameras ("battery is only good for 20 minutes - I should get a better one", "memory stick has slow 7 second delay between photos - I should upgrade", etc). I turned those down, but I did pay extra for fast 3 day shipping (big mistake).

I called back a couple of days later, and now they say "the camera is backordered - 1 to 3 weeks". I asked how that happened, since their having it in stock was a pre-condition of my purchase. They said "maybe our computer system wasn't updated yet from the warehouse". Hmm, things are starting to sound suspicious.

So I waited a week and called them back to see if my camera had shipped. But rather than giving them my order number, I simply asked "Do you have the EOS 7D in stock?", they said YES. I said, "GOOD - then have you shipped mine out yet?" (gave them my order number). The sales guy then says "OH! I thought you asked 'Do you have a Nikon Seventy in stock', no we don't have any EOS 7D's in stock yet". Honest mistake, or did I bust them in another bait and switch? You be the judge of whether "EOS 7D" sounds like "Nikon 70" and decide for yourself whether they are being honest or not.

All of this made me very suspicious, so I called back to cancel my order. I just hope they will give me the full credit back, after reading the other complaints here about Delta Camera and the way they charge a restocking fee for any kind of cancellations. Since it never even shipped, I better not see a charge on my credit card or I will escalate with the BBB and Attorney General for their Brooklyn New York area.

I can certainly see what the other customers of Delta Cameras are saying in their complaints about "Bait and Switch Backordering" practices. I would also note that their sales people came across as rude; no 'please' or 'thank you' and in the 5 or so phone calls to them - I never once got a 'good bye' - I just got a 'click' denoting that they had hung-up their phone. I run a web based business myself and would NEVER treat customers like that, and I would have had serious issues if any of my phone support people treated customers the way Delta Cameras talks to their customers.

Buyer beware! I ordered a Mitsubishi HC6800 projector for just under $2, 100, and a Elite R120wh1 screen for $350. When I called to "confirm" the order, I was told that the projector came with a "50 hour" bulb, and that if I wanted the "4, 000 hour" bulb, it would be more. In the end, I paid $2, 650 for that projector. Thinking that as a package, I was at least no worse than with other dealers, I kept with the order. The projector came, but no screen. When I called about the screen, it was no longer available, but that they had a different one for $150 more. As for the bulb, I called Mitsubishi directly, and was told that the OEM bulb (VLT-HC6800LP) was the only bulb made for that projector, and it was rated for 4.000 hours. These people are dishonest.

This is a terrible company. Do not buy here. Customer Service calls take forever. They give you the run around. Sent product to wrong location. Required that I contact my cc company to ship. In all, a terrible experience. The Better Business Bureau oughtto investigate.

**********************************DO NOT BUY FROM DELTA CAMERA************************************
I placed an order for a camera on 6/30/09. It was in stock and received a confirmation email and number on the order. The order takes 48 hours to process and ship. Later that day I received a phone call from Delta camera to confirm the order. When I confirmed the order they asked if I wanted to buy a five hour battery for $150.00 I replied that I was happy with the battery that comes with the camera. He stated that the battery that comes with the camera is only a ten minute battery and that after I recharge it twice will no longer work. Having had Cannon camera's before I did not think this would be true and I again declined to purchase the battery. He was fixated on selling me this battery and kept cutting the price of his five hour battery until it was at $20.00. I declined the battery and he began to sell me a memory card. I told him that I did not need it and I was happy with keeping my original order. Three days later, I did not receive a tracking number so I decided to call them. They said it was in the final phase of processing and it would be shipping soon. On July 7th I again called them and said the camera is on back order and they would sell me the same camera and five hour battery with a memory card for $150.00 more. Of course at this point I knew I wasn't dealing with a legitimate company. I called them back and acted like a new customer to see if they had the same camera in stock and they did. When I told them who I really was they transferred me to William Davidson. After explaining that I was going to contact his boss he said he would ship me the camera in 48 hrs. I have called everyday for a tracking number and they say it has not shipped. I finally cancelled the order and tried to get an address to report them but have had no luck. DO NOT BUY FROM DELTA CAMERA!!!
