I ordered a Nikon Coolpix camera via the website and then got the "phonecall to confirm my order". During the call I was asked if I wanted a rechargeable battery. The salesman said the camera only came with a single use battery and for additional money I could purchase a 2 hour or a 4 hour rechargeable battery. I had researched the product and know that Nikon packages the camera with a rechargeable battery so either they were lying about how the camera comes or they have removed the battery from the box that Nikon put in it when they originally packaged the camera. I canceled my order after registering my displeasure with their tactics.

I hope everyone takes the time to read the comments and hope some will see this before purchasing from this company! Everything everyone has said is true, bait and switch, lying, over pricing, etc...It is amazing to me that in this day and age a company like this can still be operating. I have learned to do more research on companies before I buy! I would like to think somebody can get invovled and shut this place down! The moment I got this item in the mail I immediately called and asked for a return! 4 days later and many calls, nothing! I was charged $80 for shipping when the man on the phone said, shipping is free, "I will take care of you". When I phoned the company upon arrival of the item I was told, "it was free, we just moved it from the package cost to the shipping charges." Now I was told they have me on recording when I ordered and that the man told me shipping was not free. Complete and absolute lie! They have told me 3 different reasons now, which is it? I could go on and on, nothing upsets me more when people are allowed to operate like this and they have no guilty conscious at all...beware, they go by a few names too!

I submitted an online order at http://www.need4digital.com for a Panasonic Lumix DMC- TS3 camera, which with free shipping and no tax would total $339, well below other online retailers.

I received an e-mail receipt with an order number, but the first oddity was the receipt did not include an order total. Instead it had the following language: "Please Note: All orders are subject to final approval by the order verification dept. We may contact you regarding the status of your order as well as for any necessary corrections or adjustments that may be required to insure total satisfaction with your order, as well as but not limited to any sales tax / shipping or insurance charges (if and when applies), of which you will be informed of and you must agree to before any adjustments to your order are preformed and charged to your credit card prior to shipping. You will receive a copy of your final statement (receipt) with the arrival of your package."

A few days later the retailer sent me an e-mail asking to call and verify my purchase. When I called to verify they tried to talk me into accessories for the camera, and actually lied about what it came with, telling me that I wouldn't even be able to use it without ordering a battery (they quoted $75 and $125 for two different batteries, which was far more than market price and even above $69 and $99 listed on their website for the same batteries). I rejected this several times, and the retailer raised their voice and began talking down to me about why would I buy just a camera, I don’t know what I’m talking about, etc. I asked them just to send what I ordered.

They then quoted me the total for the order, which was $389 instead of $339. I questioned if they had added an accessory anyway, and they said "no didn’t you hear me, I already told you that and you weren’t listening". They said the extra cost accounted for shipping and "insurance". Obviously this was a ridiculous amount. I was supposed to have free shipping, which is still advertised on their website as of today 5/6/11.

When I asked him to break down the charges piece by piece for me over the phone, he said he would cancel the order, and then hung up on me. To data my credit card has not been charged, but I'm monitoring it for any wrong doing. I am reporting this because I think it's a bait and switch routine, and I'm afraid many, many people have fallen for it.

I ordered Cybershot photo camera and several accessories from Need 4 Digital. The sales person was extremely pushy - he insisted on all kind of upgrades that I did not need. He was playing with the numbers while talking fast during our conversation, juggling the words as if he was conduction some kind of an auction. Finally, he gave me the "package price", emphasizing that all of the accessories I ordered will come at a significantly reduced price. When the items arrived, I found that the invoice was not itemized. While visiting the company's web site to look at the items' prices, I found that I received no promised discounts and in fact I was forced to pay even more than the actual price of the items. I sent several e-mail messages - and the company did not respond to any of them. It is almost impossible to reach the company on the phone. Once you do reach someone on the phone and explain the problem, they immediately hung up on you. When I mentioned to one of the company's representative that the issue will be brought to the Better Business Bureau, he responded that he has a good friend in the BBB who will protect the company from the customers. Even if to disregard the promised discount, I overpaid for the items I ordered from Need 4 Digital. We don't need this kind of "digital".

They are advertising a Canon 40D Camera for $270. Nowhere on their website does it state that there is a Japanese Version and an American Version of this camera. But when they close the deal, they tell you that the camera being advertised for $270 is a Japanese Camera and that all the settings are in Japanese and if you can't read Japanese, the camera won't be of much use to you.
