Beyond exceptional

This company went beyond my expectations honestly. I talked to Steve over the phone for the canon sx 740 hs. I informed him of how i wanted to order this camera for my birthday (I called and ordered 4 days before) and they got it to me the night before. They were extremely helpful and happy to help me. The camera itself is a beauty; its in amazing condition.

I’m out of $3,500

I’m out of $3,500. Don’t be the next one.

Within receiving the camera, it started shutting off on its own. About a month or two later, the camera completely died. That’s when I was told it was actually the wrong model, which meant I could not send it to the U.S. service center for repair.

The screenshots show the model that was represented to me versus what was actually provided.

Instead of resolving the issue with a refund or proper replacement, the company kept the camera for a long time and dragged this into court. There was also ongoing confusion about who actually owns or operates the business, which made getting a straight answer extremely difficult.

I tried to handle this professionally and privately before posting publicly. I’m sharing this so others can protect themselves — verify all equipment details in writing and be very cautious about leaving your gear or money with this business.

Reply from Deals All Year

This review omits important facts and presents a misleading version of what actually occurred. The customer was initially offered a U S model through a direct invoice which is the link referenced in his screenshot. He chose not to complete that purchase. Instead he proceeded to place a separate order on eBay for an import non U S model which was clearly disclosed in the listing.

After receiving the camera he later claimed it was the wrong model. However the eBay order details and message history clearly show that the import version is exactly what he purchased. The screenshots he provided are screenshots of screenshots and selectively presented in a way that creates a misleading narrative.

It is also important to note that when the customer purchased the camera on eBay he stated that the issue occurred immediately after receiving it. eBay provides a 30 day return policy with no questions asked. The customer did not utilize this return option. Instead he waited until after the camera was physically damaged and only then began making complaints and demanding a refund.

Following this the customer initiated multiple disputes in an attempt to force a refund including two chargebacks an eBay case a complaint filed with the Connecticut Attorney General and ultimately a court filing. Every one of these actions was either decided in our favor or dismissed. We did not take the customer to court. He initiated all of these actions himself.

The timing of this review directly follows the dismissal of his court case on January 12 2026 which explains why it is being posted now. We stand by our listings our written communications and our documentation all of which clearly show what was purchased and what was delivered.

At the conclusion of this matter and despite the fact that we are not responsible for the damage we offered as a good faith gesture to cover 75% of the repair cost. The camera was physically damaged while in the customers possession and this type of damage is not covered under manufacturer warranty extended warranty or any store warranty. Our offer represents close to $800 in cost that we were willing to absorb simply to resolve this situation.

The only condition requested was that the customer remove the inaccurate review and refrain from posting additional misleading reviews which we believe is reasonable.

Our intent has always been to help resolve this matter fairly. We work hard to operate our business honestly and professionally and we take issue with false information being published about our company. As demonstrated by the outcomes of the court filing, eBay case, Attorney General complaint, and credit card chargebacks every formal review of this matter has supported our position.

Great support

Great support. Bought a camera via eBay and had a problem with it. Ended up driving to the store since it wasn’t too far. What a service. Steven helped me out and made Ute that I had a working camera for an upcoming trip and a warranty which will cover me now for 5 years. Customer service is excellent. Thank you so much for your support!!

Great Experience

I’ve been messing around with photography more recently and the camera I was using had an issue that needed repair. Everyone there is great, Steve was the guy that helped me get my camera fixed. He was really helpful and took care of me every step of the way to make sure I had a great working camera. Not only that, they have an awesome inventory of both vintage and modern equipment.

Do not order I repeat do not order…

Do not order I repeat do not order online from here, I purchased a rf 85 1.2 online using affirm monthly installments. They shipped the package and then delivered it back to the original place from where it shipped. Affirm gladly solved the problem and did not hold me accountable. Do NOT pay in full money if you purchase online you will get scammed I never got the package.

Great Price, Great Customer Service

I recently purchased a camera lens from Deals All Year. This particular lens is on backorder from every vendor including the manufacturer Nikon. However, they are available in the gray market. Generally purchasing gray market isn't a good idea, but it depends on the product. I spoke with Steven, whom if you have read any reviews about Deal All Years, is highly touted. Steven allayed my fears of purchasing a gray market lens. First, the lens is made at the same factory and to the same specs. as the others, only intended for a market other than the US. So, does it come with a Nikon warranty, no, does it come in a pretty black Nikon Z lens box, no, but it does come nicely boxed just as it would from Nikon. Nikon only offers a one year warranty. Deals All Day does too, but they sell a 5 year warranty for $299, Steven sold it to me for $149 and assured me that while Nikon won't repair the lens for me they do all of the repair work for Deals All Day. So do your own diligence but I highly recommend Deals All Day.

Top-Notch Service and Speedy Delivery!

I stumbled upon Deals All Year by chance and was blown away by the reviews, so I decided to give them a shot. Called them up and Steven helped me pick the perfect camera based on my needs, budget, and photography style. We were on the phone for almost an hour, and he answered all my questions and curiosities with impressive knowledge. Saved me weeks of Googling 😂. Finally made my choice and Steven handled everything, and I got my camera the next day—from New Jersey to Texas!

The camera arrived with some awesome freebies (extra battery, wall charger, car charger). I’d recommend this store to anyone, even my mom. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase and the whole experience. Thanks, Steven!

Great Service For My Big Purchases!

Look no further for your online shopping needs! I cannot emphasize enough how outstanding Deals All Year is, particularly Steven's exceptional service. Despite the prevalent scams plaguing the online marketplace, my wife bravely purchased my birthday gift, the Sony A7RV, from them back in 2023. The apprehension was palpable given the amount we were investing, but Deals All Year shattered our doubts.

A year and a half later, my wanderlust sparked a desire for the Sony A7CR. Once again, Deals All Year emerged as the unbeatable contender in terms of pricing. Though initially concerned about a glitch in their new points system not reflecting my previous purchase, a swift email exchange with Steven put all worries to rest. His prompt response the next morning, coupled with his direct contact information, exemplified their commitment to stellar customer service. Not only did he rectify the issue swiftly, but he also managed to further slash the already great price and ensured lightning-fast 2-day shipping.

But Deals All Year's excellence extends beyond mere transactions; they empower customers with valuable insights. Steven's advice on how certain retailers engage in bait-and-switch tactics elsewhere underscored their dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction and trust. So impressed am I with their service that I'm contemplating a pilgrimage to their New York storefront, anticipating an even more enriching experience in person.

In a marketplace rife with uncertainties, Deals All Year stands tall as a beacon of reliability, with Steven at the helm, ensuring each interaction is nothing short of exceptional. Trust them with your purchases, and you'll find yourself returning time and again, buoyed by their unwavering commitment to excellence.

Helpfulness

Steven helped me today and was able to get me a canon g7x after looking hard and thinking it wouldn’t be possible to get yet. He gave me a good deal and I’m very happy I found him to help!
