General Policies

Pricing / Typographic Errors

Yes, District Camera is run by Humans and as Humans, there are rare occasions where pricing has been put in incorrectly.   These are unavoidable human errors that happen and while we make every effort to keep these to a minimum, they do happen.

District Camera reserves the right to refuse or cancel orders based on pricing errors.
 

Multiple Orders for Same item

District Camera sells in multiple locations and marketplaces.  In addition to our 3 Physical stores, we have active storefronts on 3 marketplaces such as Ebay and Amazon.   As such, a product that is visible on our physical shelf in a Retail store is also available for sale on 2 other marketplaces and our own Ecommerce Site.   There are occasions where the item will sell on 2 different venues within a very short period of time together.   There is an inherent lag of about 10 minutes between systems and should such a double sale arise, we will fulfill the sale that came in first.

Quantity Limit

District Camera reserves the right to limit the quantity of items sold on a given order to a given customer.  If you want to order an item in Bulk, it would be best to reach out to us first at sales@districtcamera.com
 

Price Match Policy

We do not offer direct price matching, however, we do allow you to submit lower prices to us for review via our website. If your price match request is approved, we will honor the price you submitted.

Price Protection Policy

Price changes are central to electronics retail on the web. The more aggressive the pricing, the more frequent the price changes occur as we actively seek out new pricing information from the manufacturers. This is especially true with products such as cameras, lenses, camcorders, and related products such as memory cards. At this time, we do not have a price protection guarantee and we do not offer credit for price changes that have occurred after your order has been shipped. 

Grey Market/Imported/Refurbished Goods

WE DO NOT SELL ANY Grey Market, or Imported items. All our items come factory sealed with Full USA warranties. We are an Authorized USA Dealer on all the merchandise we sell.
