Unhappy So Obvious!

86th St. Photo on line offered the lowest price for the Canon SD-890 but they pressure you to buy a memory card (over $100) and another battery (saying the one it comes with is not long lasting). Wanting just the camera, I ordered it from them online. Received a confirmation of the order but never a shipping notice. Called them, they immediately put the pressure on for the extras and I said "no, just the camera, will you be shipping it"? They said "yes" but immediately upon hanging up, received email it was out of stock for 3-4 weeks. Called them, said obvious how you do business, this is unethical, you are making a false offer for the camera. Absolutely no recourse, they wanted me to cancel, so I did. They should not be allowed to get away with this false advertising. I ordered elsewhere.

Wow thanks for the heads up. That's pretty bad. Good thing your cancellation was granted!

LOL there's a lot of online e-commerce stores that do that kind of stuff. Anything just to generate sales. Well good thing you didn't lose any money.

Did you check if the item is still for sale?
