Abes of Maine Reviews 

Michael had stellar customer service. Very much appreciate his courtesy and help. Wishing him and everyone a happy holiday!

Superb customer service!

Michael Hartman absolutely made my Christmas! He was amazing. He was knowledgeable- gave me an incredible price, bundled to make it an even better price- and gave me expedited shipping. I will definitely be going back when I’m ready to ship for a lens!

Michael Hartman provided the most AMAZING customer service to me! I wish all companies could have an employee like Michael. Thank you!!

Michael was extremely helpful and professional. I made a mistake on my original order and he went above and beyond to take care of my order.

Do not purchase from this company. I was sold a grey-market Asian Sony camera and paid what I would have paid from Sony America but now have zero warranty or rebate eligibility. I was never told it was the international model and I can't get them to respond despite me being in the return window. They also try and upsell you on crap accessories and make it seem like a deal. None of it is worth the money or hassle. Do not buy.

Reasonable pricing compared with other dealers.

Previous experience
Many years ago, can’t recall

fast shipping! great price.

Ted provided full information about options without being pushy. Product was shipped expedited without further charge. Great service!

Great service, Michael answered all my questions and concerns. A HAPPY CUSTOMER

Wow!
I have no words for how remarkably patient, kind and conscientious Michael was when I placed an order. He always followed through. If he said that he would call with information concerning my order, he did. I honestly have never received better service anywhere! I will definitely order from Michael at Abe’s of Maine again!

Sincerely,
Kena Kirby

He was very very thorough and kind, he walked me through issues I had no considered and graciously extended my warranty for free. I feel safe and confident buying from this careful and thoughtful merchant again in the future

Easy purchase, but item description inadequate.

Abes of Maine has a great selection at great prices! Will be buying more items from here soon.

Easy in easy out!

Easy to navigate website and great prices.

I had a really poor experience with Abe’s of Maine and would not recommend buying from them. It felt like they were using bait-and-switch tactics. I ordered a camera body online, but soon after, I received an email asking me to call to “confirm” my order — which defeats the whole point of ordering online.

When I called, the representative was hard to understand, mumbled a lot, and immediately began trying to upsell me on other products. It quickly became clear that the item listed online was likely a grey-market (non-warranty) version, even though this was not made obvious on the website. When I said I wanted to cancel, the salesperson suddenly offered to sell me the version I thought I was ordering — but for $100 more.

Strangely, I couldn’t even find that “non-import” version listed anywhere on their website, so I have no idea how they supposedly had it “in stock.” The entire experience felt deceptive and manipulative, and the customer service was unhelpful and pushy.

⚠️ Bottom line: If you value transparent pricing, clear communication, and legitimate products, stay away from this site.

Excellent Price. Website was reasonably efficient. Overall, a very good experience.

Ordered twice and both times they canceled my orders because the products were not in stock. Very unprofessional.
