Buy with Prime

Buy with Prime is an efficient, secure, and interconnected program that allows Amazon Prime members to get the same trusted Prime shopping experience when buying with Focus Camera. This includes benefits such as fast, free delivery, a seamless checkout experience, and free returns on eligible orders. When you shop with Focus, you'll see a Prime logo and delivery promise on the qualified products page (click on the product to visit the page and see). 

Here's how you can easily use the Buy with Prime program. When you've found your eligible Prime item(s), click the "Buy with Prime" button (on that products page). This will bring you to the Prime login page; sign into your Amazon account, and your default Prime shipping address and billing information will prepopulate on the Focus checkout page. After purchasing your order, you will receive an order confirmation email and shipping confirmation email. The shipping confirmation email will contain a link you can use to track your order when it ships.

When searching for items on the Focus Camera site, click the item to see if it has the "Buy with Prime" button on the page. The button will indicate if it is an eligible item; if yes, click it, and you'll be prompted to sign in using your Amazon Prime account info. After signing in, you'll be returned to the Focus checkout page, where your default Prime shipping address and billing information will be filled in and ready for checkout. 

After you've logged in using your Prime account username and password and placed your order, Amazon will share only the necessary info needed for a successful Prime ordering experience. This shared info includes your name, email, shipping address, phone number, and payment method used during checkout. This process is done quickly and securely to provide you with a safe and orderly experience.

Buy with Prime is that simple. Follow the easy steps to sign in and experience the same fast, free delivery and free returns on eligible gear. 

After your purchase, you should receive a shipping confirmation email with a link to your order details page. From here, you will be allowed to check on the current status of your order. You cannot see or track orders on the Amazon.com orders page or in the Amazon mobile app for Buy with Prime purchases.

Specific Buy with Prime orders are eligible for return and can only be placed through Amazon. To begin your refund, view the status of your order by clicking the link in the email you received regarding your shipping confirmation. You can get a head start on the process by printing out the USPS return label. You will receive a full refund for eligible orders; so long as they are in a resellable condition and returned within the return window.

If you have any trouble or questions regarding your order, contact us via live chat or call 1.800.221.0828, and we will be happy to assist with any problems you may be experiencing.
