12/08/2008 around 4:00 California time called Sonic Camera 3505 Quentin Road, Brooklyn, NY 11234 Their phone number is [protected] ext.226 to place an order Michael answers from the camera department he claims he is a knowledgeble Pro Camera Expert. I had seen there ad regarding a Deal for $899.99 for a Canon XHA1 which I had researched all week excited about this great deal. I ask Michael why this was such a great deal and he said that the camera was pretty much came with nothing but the base and that needed to upgrade battery, charger, and lense. I told if I had ordered the Top Packages that they offered why would I need to purchase the other stuff seperate he said I still needed to buy other stuff to have a full working camera. I listened to see what kind of deal he could put together. We spent some time and the deal he put seemed good! I accepted then Michael asked for my credit card info I gave him the information. Then after recieving information Michael tells me for a little more that I should get the Sony Fx7 for the same price he thinks it would be a better deal that camera has other features that canon can”t do that i will love it! The Sony Fx7 is the camera for me and for a little more I should go with it after another hour of listening to this guy giving me switch and bait. I was tired and told I wanna think about he said I don”t like return it! I said okey! I call back 10 min. later tell Michael I don”t want the Sony Fx7 that I had my Heart set on Canon xhA1. I want to cancel my order! He tells me that he can”t do that that I need to send him a cashier of $250. to cancel we go back and forth wanting talk the supervisor then he claims he is the supervisor. He then Bullies me over the phone that I wasted his time! I spent hours getting stressed out by Michael. He refused to cancel the order on a product I did not want! This company should be looked into they have know custemer service. I feel like have been set up for fraud! I canceled my credit card! The credit card company said they all ready made the charge without shipping the product! I later looked up to compare the prices and noticed I was bullied into a Higher purchase of a product I did not want! Michael claim that if I cancel the order he was going to charged me 10%and fee and the returns & exchanges said that in order to charge this first you have to received the product in which I never received. I feel like they this company needs be looked into and that the way they deal with customers is to bully them and insult them over the phone! I should not have to feel like my identy and credit is out there in the open for a bunch of crimals to do what they like and hassel me to what they want. This is not right! I pray there is justice and that the way have been made to feel no one should ever have to go through. Thank you for ready if you need more info please feel free to contact me!

Advertised as a navigation unit but had no gps and couldn’t even connect to smartphone nav. Came with the wrong wiring adapter and could not be installed. there has been no response to a request for a return authorization and the help line says that they are reorganizing and short on help. There are plenty of other vendors selling this or comparable products for prices just as good.

As other posters have mentioned, this company runs a blatantly illegal bait and switch operation. Received a “confirmation call” a few days before Christmas and was told a Nikon D40 I purchased “did not come with a battery and not buying an extra battery would be a serious mistake”. Sounded like garbage, but was told the camera would not be shipped without an additional battery. I agreed under protest, thinking I would later return the extra battery. As it turns out of course, the camera did come with a battery, and we were lied to as expected. Furthermore, an enclosed invoice contained no phone and no reference to “Mark” who sold the camera. Call inquiries to complain have resulted in hang ups after some weak attempts at intimidation (we told the person onthe phone point blank we would contact the Astoria, NY police and report fraud/theft.. which backed them off). To boot, the device they sent me is licensed for sale abroad and we suspect the camera is a knockoff. We will be filing a formal complaint with the NY district attorney”s office, as well as canceling the credit card charge and changing our credit card number. We have no doubt these thugs would try to recharge us after a dispute. In short, do not do business with these people. They will likely be charged with criminal conduct soon enough.

Do NOT oder from this company! Their prices are low only to hook you into providing payment information. This company is rude, intimidating, and unprofessional. I ordered the Rebel XSi and received an email to call to confirm the order. After taking my security code from the credit card, the saleman pushed additional products, was sarcastic and rude when I asked questions, and refused to give me his name or pass me off to the owner of the company. He wouldn’t hold the order or cancel it without charging a restocking fee, even though the camera had not yet been prepared for shipping. He continued to pressure me into buying products with which I was not familiar. During the second phonecall I made to try to talk to another individual, the same man hung up on me. I submitted a complaint to the BBB. You can visit the New York BBB website to read about all the complaints this company has received.

Do not use this company. SonicElectronix is a scam. I was sold a Jensen unit that used and not new. After installing the product we noticed scratches and the remote as not working. After inspecting the box carefully a disclaimer on the box stating this is unit was opened and not used for Sonic Electronix to use as a display model for there website. When I purchased this product I was told it was brand new. If a product is opened and tampered with that is considered open box. After contact Sonic Electronix and being told that I would be getting a discount or a free steering wheel control I never got a call back. I was constantly told that a manager would call me and this never happened. I have submitted numerous tickets to there RMA department without any luck. Here is a fair warning when prices are cheap there is a reason why its cheap. Alot of companies out there are selling refurbished or used equipment as new. And www.sonicelectronix.com/ is one of them. Because I have already spent over 250.00 installing this unit I am pretty much stuck with a stratched unit and a remote that doesn”t work. I suggest you search “sonic electronix scam” and you will see alot of bad reviews about this company. I believe all the good reviews were written by the staff at Sonix Electronix. If you end up having a problem with this company they will never return your call. Save yourself the headache and buy from a reputable dealer! THIS COMPANY IS WORTHLESS!!!

First, look at Better Business Web site and then look at the ‘RipOFF’ web site below which is full of complaints on Sonic Camera: www.yelp.com/biz/sonic-cameras-new-york Never, ever, ever, order anything from this company. They advertise incredibly low camera prices and then invariably refuse to sell what you’ve ordered online. They use extreme ‘bait and switch’ tactics to try to sell a different brand at an inflated price. They tried to tell me that Canon ‘L’ lenses (professional grade) had distorted glass, a plastic housing and broke frequently and that a Sigma Lens was the only one that had a metal housing. I insisted I wanted what I ordered (Canon lens) and was told it was out of stock. I said I can wait a few weeks. I was told it would be 6 months before another would arrive and that the price would double by then and that it would cost $50 for a lens hood (they come in the Canon box for free). Terrible CROOKS and LIARS that should be jailed.

I am a Hugh Sonic fan and while living in Georgia, I ate there at least once a week. I have moved to the Detroit area in Michigan and have been sadly disappointed in the Quality of the food served as well as the somewhat indifferent attitude of some of the employees. I always give a restaurant there opportunities to win me over and two of your locations have failed me. The location in Westland Michigan has a tendency to serve food luke warm or in some cases not cooked very well. This has happened on multiple trips and when I did complain and sent the food back I received an “OH well, I didn’t cook it response.” To be honest, I was a little afraid to eat the food that came back out. The second location is in Livonia and has been opened less than a year. Same thing… food is served kind of warm and you constantly have to go either to the counter if eating inside or press the call button to get forks, napkins, packets of ketchup etc. that are not delivered with the meal. When brought out the server usually just drops a bag or an item on the table/tray with no words. I’m wondering if these locations are run/owned by the same franchisee because the similarities are striking. needless to say, you have lost me as a customer at these locations and I’m thinking that you may have lost me as a customer period. Thought you’d appreciate an honest assessment of your operations at these locations. I’d be very surprised if I was the first to voice a complaint concerning these two shops.

I bought 2 Silver Sonic XL for my husband who is only 42 It don”t work. Totally crap. Then I noticed every since then they have been taken $14.95 out off my account every month. But it don”t stop there. $14.95 every month wasn”t enough. SB Savings 2 go also wanted $14.95 every month and took it and IN Prime Savings wanted $16.95 every 2 weeks and took it.. I never heard of any of these. Nor did I authorize any. I”m sure there is a link to all 3 of these scams Notice that they all have the word SAVINGS in their so called title. I am in the process of calling these people, but getting a person on the phone is tough. All I get is a recording. How convenient. These people really need to be stopped. I never authorized any of these deductions. And even more how come there is no paper trail, no statements? Because it”s their way of putting the screws to me. I am not a happy person right now. Does anyone know how t get a person on the phone? C .M .Gerlach

I don’t think they are scam but don’t expect anything other than cheap prices. I bought a stereo/amp and speakers for my daughter’s car. The order was confirmed and shipped promptly minus a dash kit. I was notified it would ship as soon as they received it. Then I received a call asking if I wanted to cancel the part since it was free. I don’t consider the “free” parts that are provided as incentives to buy from them free. They are part of the overall decision making process on who to buy from. They did send the part 10 days later. They provide the wrong wiring kit, the wrong dash kit, and the wrong antenna adapter. I tried to call several times and was sent to VM every time. I eventually left a message that has never been answered. I also sent an email that has never been answered. Today they had the gall to forward me an email from a potential customer asking technical questions about the same product I purchased. I think if you buy from them you need know exactly what you want. Don’t rely on their automated technology to choose parts for you and don’t rely on their email support responses as they are answered by whomever they can find to do their job. The best deal I’ve been able to find on Amazon for the equivalent “free” parts runs $27.99. Seems free does have a value. Maybe they will call someday but I don’t have a lot of hope for that day.

I have purchased a stereo from www.sonicelectronix.com and received it in a timely manner. When it arrived there was nothing wrong with it and there were no visible damages. But every time I turned it on it had this strange noise. About two weeks after I received it stopped working. I contacted SonicElectronix customer service and asked for a replacement and they said that they don”t accept any returns. Asked for a refund and they refused. They said that I can take the stereo to the local repair shop and ask there. Are you kidding me? These guys sold me some junk and refused to help me with my problem! They don”t stand behind their products and do not respect their customers! Never again!

I ordered a few hundred dollars worth of equipment last year. Items took a long time to get to me. I could not ever get anyone on the phone or return my emails. One of the 6X9s I ordered no longer works (order [protected]). Email from customer service told me to call customer service. On hold for 15 minutes and then a recording tells me to call back later. Exactly why I stopped getting items from Sonic Electronix last year…they have the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I would like to know what you can do about this 6X9 that has a year warranty on it that expires in May. You can call me at [protected].

I asked why the hell than they advertised it when they don’t have it in reply they had no answer. Any one willing to deal with them be careful.

I purchased a car stereo from SonicElectronix however after I received it decided it was not a good fit for my vehicle. Returned everything in the original packages and was charged a 10 percent restocking fee even thought their website states that there is no restocking fee. When I questioned customer service about this, they claimed the wires were striped for installation which did not happen. Would not recommend this company or purchase from them again.

I recently order a Nikon Camera and lenses online from Sonic. After not receiving a confirmation email, I called the company. They asked for the CCD from my Credit card (which was reasonable). Then they went into their sales mode. They wanted me to pay $135 for the EN-EL3e that would normally be packaged with it from Nikon (retail is about $40). Then they wanted me to buy memory (2GB for $80) and an extended warranty. I declined. They completed the order (or so I thought). A couple of hours later, I received an email stating that my order was canceled due the item being out of stock but that they would contact me when stock came in if I wanted to reinstate my order. I suspect that since I did not purchase all of their add-ons that they canceled my order. I say that because the camera still showed available on-line. I ended up buying my camera from a more reputable source (at a much higher price).
