I ordered 2 Ipad Air M3 2025, I messaged them with a questions 3 hours BEFORE they opened (I'm in the East Coast) they surprised me by answering almost immediately and then following up with a call to address my question, then messaged me that it will be shipped out today and I got a free 2 day upgrade, that is service! I recommend them 100%, lets keep businesses like them open instead of going out and supporting giant box stores. Thank you all for your help!!!!Posted on Google![]()

Nice little camera shop, well worth going to, knowledgeable staff, willing let me find the right camera for my needs, their deals are on par with major players but with personal touch. If you’re in the market it is worth a stop. With aloha.
