Summary: 

I've dealt with 47th St. Photo a number of times.  Have always received
merchandise within a few days.  They have a toll free customer service 
number, unlike all the others I've seen.  I can't tell you about using it
since I've never had any problems with them.  They are one of the largest
mail order houses in electronic equipment in the country.  There was a
recent article about them in either Business Week or the Wall Street 
Journal.  They offer lower prices because of high volume.  I heard once
(this may have been in the article) that they can make a profit even if
they sell something for lower than what pay for it becuase they usually pay
for it after they have sold it.
