Avoid New World Video Direct (Nwvdirect.com)
New World Video Direct (Nwvdirect.com) offered a good price on a Nikon flash (SB-600). Based on Google’s 4.7/5 rating from 2,300 reviews I figured New World Video Direct was a good company to buy from. I ordered the product and waited for confirmation. After a few hours I received no confirmation of shipment or even confirmation of my order saying when to expect it so I went online to search for more feedback and customer reviews on New World Video Direct. I read lots of old (3-4+ years) reviews from customers who said New World Video Direct are a bait and switch retailer, offering products they don’t have in the hopes that you will be willing to change your order to some cheap alternative that you still pay the higher (in my case Nikon) price for.
Sure enough, the next day I received an email from New World Video Direct saying there was a problem with my order, and I needed to call them to discuss. I declined and asked them to cancel my order if they couldn’t ship what they originally promised me they would. New World Video Direct cancelled my order (several days later) rather than comply with our initial purchase agreement.
What really burns me, though, is they are still offering the item I ordered for the same price even they though they don’t have any of the item (nor can they likely obtain the product since it has been discontinued by Nikon).
They are a scam. Save yourself some time, and possibly money, by not doing business with New World Video Direct.
