I do not want to put anyone off visiting Orlando it is a great place for a vacation but please be aware that the Camera and Lense shop on International Drive number is not all it appears to be.
Today I visited them and purchased two lenses for my camera. Their advert said they gave thirty to seventy five percent discounts on their lenses. The salesman is very persuasive and friendly. I am usually so careful but this time I was totally taken in and bought the two lenses for 798 dollars.
On returning home I checked the internet and found that I could have bought the same two lenses for 318 dollars from Best Buy. I returned to the shop within the hour and asked for a refund. The salesman refused point blank and told me I had no hope of getting my money back in America. I contacted the police who were sympathetic but confirmed that there was nothing they could do and there were No laws in America that covered this situation. America has free enterprise and shops can charge whatever they want.
This will not put me off visiting Florida but I will be much more careful in future about were I shop.
