operates toghether wit Le Petit on 5th A ve
by hilma
I want to warn everybody for the shop on the opposite on 5th Ave with the name of Le Petit Inc. Maybe it seems another shop than Lafnac but this shop used to have the same name (also Lafnac) . The way they operate is exactly the same! I was swindled and cheated badly in the shop of Le Petit. They sold me a cameralense for $300 and when I looked on the internet later, I saw the price was only $60 at Amazon. The userviews I read of Lafnac are quite similar. I did a complaint on www.nyc.gov/consumers and I hope one day someone can stop thes guys, because I feel quite helpless.
The rating is far below zero !!!!!!!!!!!!!

now we will close our creditcard and talk with him.
THE POLICE HAS TO COME IN THIS SHOP AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

DO NOT...DO NOT .... DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE... YOU WILL BE ROBBED.. LIED TO.... SCAMMED.... authorities should close places like this..... I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I SEE THEM CLOSED... I WILL GO AND REPORT THEM TO THE CONSUMERS PROTECTION... TOURISM OFFICE OF NEW YORK... THE MAYOR..... We went in for a Camara and where practically "forced" to buy a computer the camara never appeard, but they charged for the lap top.... promised the camara would be there next day...otherwise I would be able to return the lap top (eventhough they did not accept to make the charge back that same day) ..... obviously the camara never arrived.... I am sure they assumed I would not be back...but we did..... they got mean.. agressive....the guy insulted me.... talked about laws in the US (who asked them???!!!) ..... threw the lap top to the floor and made the charge back to my credit card....
if you do not want to spoil your holidays... AVOID THIS STORE... ADVISE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.... REPORT THEM!!!!
I ended up at B&H buying a great camara for the correct price and came back home truly happy....
- Cons: THE WORST SHOP
