Terrible Customer Service, 3 weeks and no camera – Have had to log a complaint with the ACCC. I have serious concerns that this is not a legitimate business. There is no avenue to talk to a customer service representative, they won't even provide call back. E-mails are sporadic and provide no information on the status of my order. 3 weeks and I have not received my camera or a refund.
Go to office of fare trading for help – I interporate this company as a shop window only that will take your money with no guarantee you will ever see a product. I purchased a 600mm lens that never arrived in 6 months of trying to find someone to get answers. I now they where listening but they weren't answering my emails. So I got the office of fare trading involved and loan be hold my… Read more
lens was on the way. Received it in 3 days funny enough. Please do not do business with this company. You will regret it.

Some complications but OK in the End – Camera Sky had the best price and could provide the grey version of the Panasonic TZ-110 camera where others could not. The wait initially seemed too long & parcel tracking was not initiated by promised date which caused some angst which was overcome and the item was promptly delivered. Phone queue was appallingly lengthy. Live Chat option was not… Read more
good, Return messaging to me from Live chat was delayed by up to 10 min and the gaps in the chat caused a massive issue when the operator cancelled my order. Finally I spoke to another operator who gave very good service. I would buy from Camera Sky but would NOT do Live Chat again. Never.
Suggestion: TALK to your customers.
Great Deal and Great Service – Have bought from CS previously and had a good experience. This time - great product at a very competitive price. I was surprised how quickly the goods were delivered. Will deal with this business again! Show reply
Great Service – Very happy with CameraSky. Price was the best I could find and from ordering to delivery took only 5 days! Emails kept me updated with progress of the order but not bombarded with adverts. Will happily use them again. Show reply

Dont Buy Anything From This Company – I purchased a Nikon Dec2017 and it malfunctioned Oct 2018. Aust telephone numbers have been cancelled and can't contact via email as my carrier says they no longer exist. Its a scam so keep away.
Don't do any business with this company – I ordered multiple products back in March 2017. I informed them that they hadn't completed the order in Dec. 2017. They wanted me to sign a disclaimer to get my money back, which they still haven't delivered. It is now Oct. 2018, and I am still haven't received one of the products I ordered.
Fraudulent do not buy from this company!!!! – Bought, paid, Did not receive. SCAMMING people is not a business, but they only tell you they don't have the product and have to back order it after you pay and then they don't ever deliver on it.

Fraud – I ordered a DOBBY DRONE and I never got it after a month, I sent a email to them and I received a automatically respond saying that we cancelled the order and they will refund the money but never received anything..
I got scammed – I ordered a camera over 3 months ago and the goods were not delivered to me. Their phone lines has been disconnected. NSW Fair Trading has had several consumer complaints. I am taking legal action to get my money back. https://www.finance.nsw.gov.au/about-us/media-releases/public-warning-do-not-deal-digital-skies-group-pty-ltd
Scam! Don't buy! – Paid over $150 for a Microsoft Surface Pro Keyboard Cover in January 2018. Did not receive a confirmation email. Immediately suspicious. Contacted them in February via their online chat function on the website (which has since been disabled). Was advised of my order number and this was sent via email. Was further advised in March that my item was… Read more
out of stock and would I like to wait or receive a refund. I chose to wait. I should have realised then that this was a scam because if it took them TWO MONTHS to tell me they had no stock, then they never had it in the first place. In April I sent them an email advising I was not prepared to wait any longer and I would like a refund. I received an email saying it would take 25 business days. On their website it said 10 business days (now it no longer says *anything*). I waited the 25 business days however, then sent them an email. They did not reply. I sent them another email a week later saying I would report them to the ACCC if they ignored my email. Again they did not reply. I tried calling them via the number on their website and it was disconnected. I have now reported them to the ACCC and they have advised me how to take my case further. I don't know if I'll get my money back but I will make sure they are reported.

Totally dreadful! – They sold me an Olympus OM 5 Mk.2 at a good price. After a week it stopped working. Under “vendor warranty” their workshop then ruined it beyond economic repair. Now they just don’t answer my emails. Avoid at all costs,
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING – This is a terrible site. Paid Over $500 for a lens. 7 months later I still have no lens or refund. They had no stock and still allowed me to pay. Then I had to follow up and see what happened when it did not arrive. Now I am saying REFUND ME or I will go to department of fair trading. They told me to ring my bank and get my bank to do chargeback case. They have made me jump hoops and I still have no money PATHETIC SCAMMERS!!
This is totally a scam!!! – This company is totally a scam company. I purchased a Leica Q camera from this company through their website 23th Feb 2018, They didn't send me the product. After three weeks, I cancelled the order. They promised the to refund, which is more than $5,000 dollars. And than I just wait for my refund for than 6 weeks and then I just cannot contact… Read more
them. I sent them email, call them, however no one reply me. Then I report the company to fair dealing waiting for another month for the refund. However, they didn't contact me as well. Next, I just contact my bank and tell them what had happened. Finally, after another month, I received the refund. So, do not deal with this company. If you have the same situation like I did. Just report them to the fair trading and tell your bank what happen. Banks have greater power to deal with this transaction and probably they can help you to collect your money.
IT'S A SCAM – DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY. I purchased a camera from then for just under a thousand and after 4 months of them lying to me over the phone saying oh they have had issues but it's on it's way only to find out they didn't have the camera I ordered in stock and then I have been in constant battle with them for my refund since December. On top of that, they have the worst customer service. Do not purchase anything from them.
They took my product back for repair, then ceased all communication – Absolutely appalling customer service. I spent months trying to get them to replace or repair a faulty camera flash I purchased from them. After the finally responded enough to take my flash back and examine the problem, they ceased all communication, and now have both my money and my flash. I have filed a complaint against them with Consumer Affairs. This has been months of hassle.
Avoid – This site is a scam. Pay them at your peril. They do not deliver any goods and trying to get a refund from them is impossible. I had to ask the bank to assist with getting a refund for a camera I never recieved. I got no updates from them ever but on their website, the camera I ordered was out of stock.
Imagine the worst business of your life and double it – I purchased a nikon D500 and a lens from them, but never arrived, never refunded(awaited 1 month to receive the camera, 3 months to get the refund.) Later I got the refund from the bank after 5 months from the original date of purchase) Never recommend to anyone.
Total Scammers - beware – In Dec 2017 I ordered an in stock lens from Camera Sky. I paid and then two weeks later I messaged them to see if my lens had been sent. They said it was out of stock but should be sent very soon so I said I was happy to keep waiting. Fast forward to June 2018 - after numerous attempts to call them, 15 emails and being told by several people at… Read more
Camera Sky that they would refund me but their system was down so they weren't sure when the refund would happen - my bank finally disputed the sale on my behalf and I finally got a refund! So don't stop trying to get your money back. Get your bank involved, they can help you get a refund.
Terrible shopping experience – I want to share my online shopping experience on Camerasky website, which I think is a scam. I bought the camera on 5 March, and they said I could have it within 2 weeks because I had a traveling plan need it harshly. And after 1month, I have not received it, and I want to refund, nobody replied it, even their phone is disconnected, when I saw the… Read more
review about them, I was shocked and worried that I was scammed by this company. I reported to the Fair Trade, and they suggested me to ask the bank for help to get my credit back. And I handed on all my evidence, including the order confirmation letter, my email conversation, cancellation email information, and the description about the matter, after 2 weeks, I got my money back, I hope anyone gonna to shopping on this website could be careful, and it is better to ask the bank for help!

Terrible customer service – This company has failed to deliver a phone which I ordered within a 2 month period then has failed to refund me my money. I am still waiting for any action after 5 months.
no goods - no money back (no stars had to click one) – These people are horrible. Only thing they are good at is taking your money. I paid back in Feb 2018 for birthday present in April no goods received and was told I would get refund still waiting. Going to report them to the police now the phone is disconnected and no return emails... Hello ACA
do not buy anything from CameraSky – bought a sony camera in feb 2018. they said they have them in stock but the camera never gets delivered. i asked for a refund, but it has been more than a month and i have not received my refund. they have also disconnected their phone lines, hotlines and online help chat. i have submitted a transaction dispute through the bank and hopefully i will get my money back. Please do not buy anything from them!
Scammers – Camerasky are a bunch of liars, they said they will process my refund this month and they never did because they suck. Please do not buy of this scam company they will only steal your money and not ship your item and not refund you any money.
Trust in online dealings with Camera Sky – I've had the same problem. I accepted their offer of sale for a Fuji camera. Placed an order from their site for a fuji x70 at $700.. Said it was being processed. never sent. waited for 2 months.. then cancelled the order and asked for my money to be returned. They could'dt do it. Said to contact my bank. I feel that they are dishonest and… Read more
made no attempt at customer satisfaction. I even asked for another camera in replacement. but they wanted another payment. Do not trust them. I've lost the money and it seems others are having similar problems .
Worst customer experience of my life - Avoid at all costs – Purchased a camera on Feb 13, 2018. Two weeks later I emailed asking as to the status, as it was just listed as "processing". Two weeks later, I had no response. I sent another email. Finally a response stating that they did not have the camera in stock and that they had no idea when it would arrive. When I asked for a rough idea,… Read more
(days/weeks/months/years) I received an email five days later saying they could not even provide me with that information. After waiting for two months, today I have cancelled my order. The online operator told me that for the last few weeks, they had been undergoing "system enhancements" and this would result in delays to processing my refund. I was told to expect a refund within 25 working days. That's 5 weeks. I then read some online reviews of Camerasky, only to find out they have been telling people the same story for over six months, possibly for years.
Over 900 1 star reviews. More than all other reviews combined. That says it all.
If I do receive my full refund within 30 Calendar Days, I will be taking legal action.
RATED -100 stars! Absolute cheats and without any business ethics – Site said 'in-stock 5-8 days delivery' Nothing for 2 months. No reply to emails. 'Fob-off' from telephone calls and deflections. Played the "technical issues' card when it came to refund, for a further month (25 business days) - eventually they said they can't process the refund and suggested I lodge a dispute with my bank so I can recover the… Read more
money. (Knowing of course, that these disputes take up to 8 weeks and if you don't make your claim within a certain time frame from the order date...you're buggered, because banks won't accept the disputed charge!) Camersky play this game like they own it! They are shameful, unethical and the perfect example of why online buying gets such a bad wrap! I'll never buy from them again, period.
This is the worst ever online web site – If I could rate them ZERO this would be my rate!!! As zero is not possible the lower rate is 1. Get away as further as possible from this website. They are the most UNTRUSTABLE store on the internet. I've bought a Canon camera and two lenses and some extra accessories, after waiting more than 2 months to be delivered and have called them… Read more
several times to get some update I decided that was not worth to continue waiting. So, I cancelled my order hoping for the best, that would be my refund.
It's more than one month now and when I checked back the CameraSky website, I noticed that they removed the online support chat, their phone numbers are disconnected and there is a huge risk of their contact email go to nowhere.
They are stilling our money!!!! Get away from these guys!!!!
