Lensclearance.com scam!!! Scam!!! Scam!!!
These crooks are using the old "bait & switch" routine. I placed and order on their website and received a very generic confirmation via email for a flash at a price $200 lower than everyone else. If it's too good to be true it usually is.
I called them after about 10 days and they told me the same BS they tell everyone else that the 3-digit code in the back of my card was not entered. ABSOLUTE LIE! He then told me that he used to work for Nikon and attempted to sell me a crappy Sigma flash at a price $200 higher than market prices. When I asked if they had product in stock, they said "they need to speak to the warehouse department and would get back to me." Yeah right. Glad I didn't hold my breath.
I then called them again a few days later and asked them "do you have any more of the product in stock" to which they responded "yes." I called his bluff and said I'd take 4 for immediate shipment, but he immediately recanted and said "oh, they are on back order but we can take more orders."
When customers press them for a delivery date, they attempt to dissuade them by saying "it will take 3 or 4 more weeks" hoping customers will cancel the order. These guys are playing the numbers game by getting a high volume of callers with impossibly low prices (BAIT) and pretending to be authorities by claiming to have worked at Canon or Nikon to convince unsuspecting callers to buy OVERPRICED GARBAGE instead (SWITCH).
Avoid these scam artists, their website was setup in November and is less than 6-months old. Now that people are on to them they will shut it down and likely repeat the scam
There is ZERO CHANCE they will ever send me my flash. I must now cancel my credit card since I've provided these crooks with my number.
