Curious what a good place to order cameras and lenses from? One of the places I used to order from is no longer an option. Had too many times I got refurbished equipment when I expected new and paid for new. Also other bait and switch tactics got me a few times over the years.

Curious what good experiences everyone has had lately.
 
It would help if you stated your region. In the US I would go with Newegg, Adorama, B&H, or KEH if you're willing to buy used. Look up questionable websites on resellerratings.
 
I buy quite a bit of my brand name stuff from Amazon as their prices often already mirror B&H and Adorama. Also their return policy is great and if it's a defective or damaged product you are returning, they eat the ride back. Buying used from them is hit or miss. I have had good luck on some mid range lenses that customers just didn't like. I tried a few higher priced ones and found those definately were returned because they were junk. Since Nikon made it's policy that they will not touch any gray market item, Tamron has since instituted the same thing and not sure about the others. So this time around I am trying to make sure everything I buy is a real US market product.
 
Looks like amazon is a good bet for me. Heard too many bad things about adorama and bh seems to have tons of holiday closings(not knocking bh though). I often need things last minute without much warning.
