Anyone use EastCoastPhoto? Experiences?

[brainmonster]

I was searching google and found a company called East Coast Photo, the prices for print film seem really good:

http://www.eastcoastphoto.com/a/print-amature-121.html

It's almost too good to be true...I wonder if the film is expired. Their website is also very difficult to navigate and many of the pages are broken. Resellerrating/ BBB rating is NOT good. But it seems like it might be just customers with bad experiencing piling on there, most of them are pretty minor, like wrong item sent, etc. Still.

Anyone use them and know if it's worth a shot? Usually I buy film from B&H but film is about $5 even for colorplus/kodak GC, so I'm wondering if this site is worth a try.

Armature film, does that mean you can only use it for taking pictures of electric motors???

Yes given the broken website and misspellings it sounds like its a scam/not reputable store, so I will go ahead and avoid in that case...

Charles, it is amature, not armature.
Accuracy is important .
Don't you know, an amature is someone who misspells for the love of it
Perhaps old french is their first language.
Sorry, I haven't used them.

It looks to me like the film page on that website is just a cache of old website information - not a current listing. If you try to get there from within the website it will tell you that they don't have any film products currently available.
Not necessarily a scam or not reputable - just as likely incompetent website maintenance.
