There are instances when a manufacturer asks us (and other Authorized Dealers) not to advertise certain items on our website, even though we sell them in our store and through our Mail Order Department. There are also situations where manufacturers request their Authorized Dealers not to list their actual selling price for certain products but rather to list the manufacturer’s Minimum Advertised Price. At Cameta Camera we always do our best to honor these manufacturer requests but are nevertheless committed to offer the best prices we can to our customers.

Therefore, if there is a product that you are interested in that you do not see on our website or you wish to verify our actual lowest selling price on a Minimum Advertised Price product, please call our Sales Department at 1-800-991-3350 to check on availability and pricing.

Packages and Kits contain multiple items offered together at a discounted price.

If you wish to return a Package Special for a refund, you must return the ENTIRE Package within the specified return period from the date of purchase. Components within a Package may be returned for replacement only. Individual items may only be returned for replacement if a Return Authorization number is acquired within the Standard Return period.

On occasion, items do sell out. If an item is sold out, it will display "Out of Stock" next to the product image on the full product description page. On very rare occasions, even when an item is in stock at the time on order is placed; it might become back-ordered due to too many people placing orders at one time. If this is the case, and you have placed an order, you will receive an email alerting you that this item is back-ordered. We place immediate orders with the manufacturer to replenish any item that goes out of stock, and we usually receive them very quickly. Please be assured that we do our best to obtain these for you as quickly as possible.
