Title: cheap cameras & gear
Post by: TonyD on January 16, 2022, 11:40
I just found this site https://www.kemillyesavio.com/product-category/home/ (https://www.kemillyesavio.com/product-category/home/)
The gear seems very cheap to me and priced in $s. Is it a scam?

These offers could get you old/heavily used gear even if they have pictures of new cameras. You could get Chinese cameras with American or whatever brand pics on them. It can be ripping people off. Since there is no more info about site or reviews about this shop you shouldn't trust too much in these deals.

These places are notoriuos for getting the money and then saying the product is temporarily out of stock, but they have another, at a higher price. Also some will sell what they say and include nothing else.

But reading their FAQ was a good laugh. "If the product’s quality is no problem, we can’t to accept the return it.If there’s a few problems of goods (for example, the stain or the line did not cut off clearly), we hope you can wash it or clean it,then we will give our guest appropriate compensation. If the size is small for you , or when you received your jersey, you find you don’t like it and so on, these problem we don’t accept .So hope you can understand us."

Jersey? Stains on the line didn't cut off clearly? I thought they sold cameras?

"FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS UNDER $150" "150$ PER PERSON LIMIT PIRCHASE"  :o  Yes Pirchase  ::)


Run Away, do not even consider this place. And the quote that applies is the same: If it seems to good to be true, it probably isn't true.

4. How long will be the parcel arrived our country?

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the time will be last a little longer. Please do not worry about it.

 a breath of fresh air - a vendor who tells you up front there will automatically be delays!

I tend to follow a certain (admittedly prejudiced) rule of thumb.

If the "English" in the ad or email sounds like it was written either by someone in Russia (it contains no articles like "the," "a" or "an") or by someone in China (it contains either incoherent verbs or overly flowery nouns and adjectives that no reasonably good speaker of English would ever choose to use), I delete as fast as my little finger can hit the key.

Just like those solicitations that come in occasionally from "Nigerian princes" urging me to wire $1,000 cash directly into their bank accounts so they can then turn around and send me a $5 million inheritance from some long-forgotten great-great-great-great-great-grandfather… all of which go immediately into the Trash file.

Yes, without prejudice or being a snob, obvious spelling, grammar and punctuation errors are a tip off. But really, who is selling a $3000 camera for $89? Impossible.

BTW in the news last year?

Wow, Pete, I gotta wonder if that dead guy might just happen to be my very own "Nigerian prince"… you know, the same sweet fellow who occasionally sends me love notes asking me to wire him thousands of $$$$$$$$?
