Two Internet camera companies have been on the Better Business Bureau's radar for months because of an usually large number of complaint and some serious red flags. Customers say an online company called Crazy Cameras promises 5 to 7 day delivery, but despite immediate credit card charges, the orders take up to 7 weeks to arrive. The site presents the image of being based in the United Kingdom with prices quoted in Euros rather than U.S. currency.
But the company's U.S. address traces back to Southeast Portland, specifically a private mailbox company called Mail Room Plus.

A manager at the store said the box number used by Crazy Cameras is actually a forwarding number; all mail is sent on to another address and there's no real pickup box at all."It is a good mailing address, but we do have people who do not plan on physically walking in the building," Cheryl Vonderburg said. The manager added many people use what are called "virtual" mailboxes to have mail forwarded when they're temporarily living elsewhere. The boxes are a popular way for snowbirds to continue receiving their mail when they're spending winter months in warmer climates.The BBB has also been watching an Internet company Camera Hunter. The Camera Hunter offers cameras and accessories at dirt-cheap shipping fees worldwide. The listed address is in Tacoma.

"We have 22 complaints in the last 36 months" said Niki Horace, vice president of Marketing for the BBB serving the Northwest region. "That's a lot, especially for a small business." Complaints against Camera Hunter include charges to credit cards with delayed delivery or no delivery at all, and no response."Consumers are trying to contact them to get their shipping confirmation, to see where their order is, and they can't get a hold of anybody," Horace said. "The phone number keeps ringing and ringing and goes to a generic voice mail. emails are getting bounced back, they just can't get a hold of the company."
