Title: Amazon Sucks
Post by: rosscrazyelk on October 12, 2011, 09:42:00 PM: I purchased a trail camera on amazon , I got my conformation and date it would arive.. Well the time came and went. I called customer service and they told me the order was cancelled because the tird party did not have any left.. I never recieved any notification and was waiting excitingly the past two weeks.. Now I am irritated. I hate amazon.. :bash:

But it is amazon who is responsible for the third parties and as such they should notify someone in a case like this.

Amazon is a great company, I'm surprised they didn't try to make it up to you

It was a Tasco 5mp. Not a super nice one but all I could afford and I wanted to put it up this weekend in prep for elk.. Oh well

It's the 3mp but I've got two and they've worked well for me. I've had them out in the woods continuously for the last 6 months and they're still going strong. The flash isn't the greatest as it has a really limited range, but the daytime pictures are surprisingly clear for such a low priced camera.
