Buying from Adorama?

[Edmang]

They once had a real low price on a Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar on their site. Was real suspicious about it so did not order.

But they are an authorized Fender dealer. Was able to use the web page for a price match at Guitar Center.

Adorama and B & H have both been around for years and are indeed legitimate. You won't get ripped off with dealing either of them and they're very honest.

Used to buy camera and audio gear from them back in the 80s (my first CD player!); never had any issues.

I was surprised to learn they're legitimate and reputable. I always thought it was some kind of Ali Express shenanigans.

They’ve been around for a long time.
I purchased stuff for myself, and for work there.

I have received 2 flawless MIM Fenders from them for a killer price. Both were specimens of their breed. Super fast shipping.

I heard some folks had some shipping damage and they graciously handled the situation.

Order away bass brother.

Ooh I hadn't thought of that...

Have you bought a bass from Adorama? Curious to hear any testimonials or warnings. The idea of buying a bass from a camera store, and trusting them to ship it well, has me a little skiddish. But they do seem to have great deals from time to time.

I understand why you're "skiddish" about it. I would be skittish, myself, until shown otherwise.
But...appears to be legit according to the reponders here.

I've bought 2 Fenders from Adorama with no problems whatsoever. I'm patiently waiting/hoping for another good bass deal from them on something that lights my fire.

I bought my Fender Rascal from them on closeout. Great price, no complaints.

Yeah, I still kick myself for not getting in on that deal.

No way I was going to pay list price whatever that was but the sale price rocked!

I also do photography, Adorama and B&H are my main vendors. Bought way too much stuff from them over the years, always been a good experience. I've boughten computer parts from them too, but my main vendors there are Newegg and Amazon.

 

[BD Jones]

Adorama and B&H are both approved vendors with my school district and have been for several years. I've ordered lots of stuff through them (through my school budget and for myself) and have never had an issue.

A friend of mine just picked up a snazzy Fender six string of the offset variety from Adorama for next to nothing— turned out to be a killer instrument.
I’ve only ever ordered photo equipment from them, but it’s always been as described and hassle free.

 

[JJR58]

Adorama, B&H. Will do you right if it doesn't turn out to your liking.

 

[bassstrangler]

I've bought Fender parts from them through Amazon. Always as described, new and in original packaging FWIW.

 

[wintremute]

Great! Now I'm going to be shopping at Adorama for bass stuff. Stupid gas.

 

[pcake]

i've bought photo stuff from adorama and B&H, more from B&H, but adorama has always done me right.

Have you bought a bass from Adorama?

Hi DoctorZee

"Adorama"? Is that one of Ali Baba' s forty thieves? (was my first thought)

But what I get from the posts here - They do a good job.

thx for the info everybody!

Actually strange you ask, I just bought a vox amplug from them last month no issues, packaged very well to protect my purchase and it got delivered days before scheduled.
