Absolute ripoff. My gf went in in a rush trying to buy and hope back on the car. got charged more than 3 times of the actual price. And they don’t let us to return.
Tourists, dont be tricked.Absolute rip-off. Do not shop here. Your money will be stolen. This is a tourist trap, hoping to trick a tourist into a high-value item.There are few worst places in San Francisco to shop.
Fraud! Don’t buy anything! We wanted to buy a Lycamobile SIM card with the unlimited plan for $39. They charged me $54 because apparently they forgot to tell me about an activation and taxes etc. They didn’t provide me with a proper receipt. When I asked for one, they wrote an “invoice”, but they just wrote down the end price and didn’t show the cost split. Anyway, it turns out - after logging into my Lycamobile account - that I have the $29 plan with 5GB data, not the $39 with 15GB unlimited. I reached out to my lawyer and my credit card institute. I think unprofessional sales people like that should be stopped from doing business with others.
Must be a laundering front. Because they sure as hell dont need your business!I went in and asked for an international power adapter. $49.99 said the man!Utterly shameless.I laughed in his face, walked out, went into Target a couple of blocks down the road. Bought one for $10.Dont even bother crossing the road for this shop.
THE MOST DISSAPOINTED SHOP I EVEN IN!I dropped my camera and small debris from the filter adhered to it. I come here hoping to get help and not to scratch my lens. After hearing that I didnt want to buy a new filter and lens cleaner (I just forgot to bring it during the holiday, and I would go home to consider buying a new filter), he immediately showed a bad attitude.and, he used the cloth directly and wiped it on my lens and it scratched a small piece. Luckily it didnt affect the photography but he wiped it the wrong way from the beginning and Im very unhappy about that, and then he took my $20 for just some lens cleaning.People dont go to this store, its really bad.
All kinds great camera gear.
I asked for a price was quoted a stupidly high number. Went to walk out of the store and then was offered a more reasonable price, but decided I wanted to think about it for a while. The sales guy said that this was fine, but when I returned, he said he now wanted to think about it.... Hilarious! Must be a stunt they pull when they have not got a sale. Not sure why a normal person would do such a thing. Maybe they chuckle to themselves whilst sitting on their stools waiting for the next person unsuspecting customer. Maybe they are not happy with their jobs or their lives and take a sad pleasure from this. Anyhow it was much, much cheaper elsewhere and I was glad they did not have a penny of my money. What goes around comes around.
The aim of this place is simply cheat tourists. They charge 3 or 4 times the normal price. Also, they refused to give me back my money after checking other store prices. NEVER buy anything there. If you need something in San Francisco city center, I would recommend a Radioshack shop that is near Union Square.
The staff was nice, but obviously a scam. A simple wide angle lens was originally quoted for $299. I said I wanted to think about it, so he brought it down to $275. As I walked out the store, he said he could do it for $199 as business was slow.5 minutes later and I found the same no-name lens on Amazon for $24. Beware.
If possible, I would give -5.Ill just say that we paid 80 dollars when we could have found what we bought for 20 or less. A trap for tourists.
I got my money refunded! After calling the police. They tried to sell a Lightning to Aux 3.5mm adaptor to me initially for $49.99. I said that was surprisingly expensive, and they dropped the price to $35 (little did I know that it was $9 in the Apple Store). Upon purchasing the product, I went home and tried it. It didnt work. Something was up. The packaging was convincingly Apple and it even came with an Apple certificate, but the dimensions of the adapter were off by a centimeter or so. I brought the product back and told them on camera that it was fake and they should give me a refund. They told me they didnt give refunds, even if it was a counterfeit Apple product. I called the police. Once I hung up, they gave me a refund instantly. NEVER EVER EVER EVER GO HERE.
This store is the terrible. When I went to buy battery, I was robbed of my camera and to sold fake filter at a very expensive. I turned it down, the battery was bought for more than 10 times the price by credit card. (Because he said VISA ONLY!)I went to the store again to request cancellation, I was refused and to sold the same fake filter again. This store is a scam. Why dont such a shop business stop? Is this a matter of fact in America? Even though we were enjoying the trip, it was only a disappointing. Never go.
They make it seem like youre getting a deal but their products are 3 times what they are in Best Buy and other retail stores. Dont shop here.
It’s a scam place. They sell ultramobile sim with 20$ extra fee. Don’t buy anything from them!
Worst Shop Ever! Sells $20 camera filter for $219. And that super expensive filter was faulty.
Why isnt this place shut down already?!!
Went in for a polarizing filter. Was quoted $69.99 for a top quality... as I walked away I was quoted $20 and $10 for the chinese filter. I strongly suggest anyone with an ounce of respect for themselves to stay away from these opportunists. What a terrible business model.
I do not have a yelp account but I created one just to give these dirtbags a review. I wish I could give this place 0 stars because thats what they deserve. I bought a Sony 32gb SD card for my camera at $76.00 and later found out it was only worth $18. They will not tell you about their no money back or no price matching policy when selling you an item 4x its retail price. If you value youre money do not buy anything from them, they will rip you off big time! Literally every single item in this store is very over priced.
Dont bother. Lies lies lies. Only wanted cash. Didnt want a money trail, says it all
BIGGEST RIPOFF EVER! Bought a lens there because I thought it would be cheaper than in New Zealand. Being in a rush I didnt check other prices (and felt really dumb for doing that), but discovered I could have gotten the same lens in New Zealand for a third of the price. They clearly took advantage of me being ignorant. DONT even buy there if youre desperate. They are going to rip you off. Going there tomorrow to try to get a refund but they dont give refunds according to their policy I signed. However, I will make some noise about this.
Its a wonder that these people are allowed to do business at all. They have not even one shred of decency. Absolute rip offs.
Horrible . They sell old models for a higher price, disrespectful staff. Dont ever go!
They sell electronics worth $5 for $49.99 plus tax (simple audio cable). Scammers and a waste of time
Absolute set of charlatans .Beware !!!!I bought some headphones, got to my hotel room and one side was not working.Took them back within 15 minutes of purchase .Didn’t have similar and wouldn’t refund my money .
180 for a 256 sd card. Very ugly and disrespectful staff.
Yesterday ı bought gopro from this store. Today my bank wrote me an e-mail and said 2366 USD used at that store. How it is possible with just gopro? In addition ı paid 150$ for memory card and in the internet it is just 20$... Whats happening? I will sue about that.
Extreme scam warning. Scammed tourist without good english by charging card three times for one sale. Merchant said the sale did not go through. Cant believe they manage to stay open.
0 stars!!!Horrible place!Dishonest thieves, disrespectable!Sold a COUNTERFEIT camera battery to my us for 4 time the regular price and then when returning to the store with it, they retrieved another one for another site and charged her again for the replacement without her knowledge! Also at a higher cost than a camera battery should cost. They apparently kept her credit card number!They also took back the battery that was counterfeit and Im sure they will resale it.Stay as far away from this place as you can!!!
Scam, sold me a cable that doesnt work and wouldnt return the money. Told them its illegal - they responded that its not. They dont care.
Please do not buy anything in this shop. I bought a charger thereafter I checked on internet it was literally 10 times cheaper on the web! I should have checked before . I went back the shop with the receipt and the product not used the only answer I got that is business !
A plastic lens hood ($7 in most camera stores and $3 on amazon) for $50.. When I was about to leave he dropped it to $18 and i just left...
Whatever you do, dont buy anything in this shop. Its a scam, no matter how much percentage they give you on the product. All full of lies!
Horrible! Dont go here!!!They totally ripped off my parents, selling them a sim card and 1-month cell phone plan for double what it actually costs. They also offered them other items for around $80 that only cost $10-15 on Amazon. Ridiculous!
Tried to sell me a charger for 150 usd. Whaaaaaaat?
They have prices x3 times all other elstore in SF. Dont shop here!
Last night, seeing I was not a tourist, got a price for a camera strap that was 1/2 off the price tag. Today went on and got the item and was about to be charged the full price. I walked.
Tourist trap...do NOT buy anything in this store. Theyll rip you off without any shame. Prices are 3-4 times as high as the regular prices.
Rip off big ass ripp off.
Zero stars! It’s a trap. They sell stuff saying it’s original and IT IS NOT! Don’t ever buy anything from here!
Touristy and expensive. Only go here if youre desperate.
Sold UV lenses for 50 dollar that retail for 6.. absolute scam. unfortunately 1 star is the lowest you can go.. BEWARE!
Disonest employees, do not buy there
Bought a wireless memory card that did not come with a code and they refused to give a refund 👎🏾
Scam
We drove here through half the city to buy a SIM from Ultra Mobile with unlimited, but it turned out that for the activation you need to pay separately 30 bucks. There was a feeling that the owner of the shop simply earns this way on gullible tourists. And a set of products is more like a commission than a digital supermarket. I do not recommend it.
I was in SF for three days and unfortunately I came across this store on the day of my departure, when I was little cautious. Although it puzzled me that none of the goods offered here was not listed price tag. And how did I turn out? On my camera Nicon D3100 forced me a wide angle lens and a UV filter glass in the total price including taxes 1,315.85 USD. I found out at home that I was robbed by $ 1,100. This store is the biggest bullshit in San Francisco. No one replied to my letter to the store owner, in which I warned him about the thieving practices of salesmen.
A thoroughly scam shop sells fakes and inferior products at high prices. Say good America has no fakes? This is next to Union Square, too crazy.
The worst store Ive ever traded in, a bunch of scammers who wont stand at their trade.bought a selfie bar with bluetoth that didnt work, afterwards they claimed they didnt sell them. but it worked shortly afterwards it did not work. they simply ignored one no matter what they said.Worst store Ive ever traded in, a bunch of scams that wont stand by their trade.The purchase a selfie rod with bluetoth that did not work, afterwards they claimed they did not sell them.But it seemed short afterwards, it didnt work, they just ignored one no matter what you said.
Real crook! He wanted to sell us 10 international stamp for $ 25 instead of $ 11 which we bought in post office after cost.The pacpac maintained that its the price of the stamps ... What does the police do in this city I do not know!
There are good deals
