    Been pricing around for my first DSLR and i've narrowed down my choices to 1 or 2 that are available for home delivery from Jessups in Newry. Whats the deal with getting them delivered to the south?? Would i have to pay any extra VAT charges etc.? Their prices seem to be great compared to most retailers in the south, especially the kit deals! :o

    If you buy from another country in the EU, you only pay the VAT in the country of purchase. The only exception to this is if the shop in question does enough business in Ireland that they are registered for VAT here, and will apply the Irish VAT rate. (Jessop's aren't as far as I know.)

    You'll pay their regular UK-to-Ireland postage rate - around £10 I think - but you may need to place your order by phone if you're using an Irish credit card.

    Sorry to hijack, but if anyone else has dealt with them before - are they open to any haggling?

    I found it very hard to haggle with Jessops in Newry. They couldn't (wouldn't?) go down on price of camera but they were willing to throw in a few extras - bag, small tripod etc.

    That'd do! Was that on the kit price they were willing to throw'em in? Even another decent CF card would make it worth the drive ;)

    Wee heads-up, Jessops are giving a few bob off some of their stuff this week-end as a "Bank Holiday" deal. Although don't be surprised if they don't have any in stock.

    Ordered two Portaflash Light Stands 2S for £19.47 each, half price.
    None in stock, but should be able to collect-in-store on Friday 15th.

    I don't know what the Newry Store is like to haggle with, but I know the Derry Store wouldn't budge on a D300 body purchase. Ended up buying from Calumet in Belfast, who price matched a written quote from an English shop. Worth a try.

    They will do a good deal for you and if you know what you want in the line of a filter, tripod or extra battery.
    It can be hard to get thro' on the phone. They are good to go into imo.

    Unit 5, The Buttercrane Centre
    Buttercrane Quays
    GB - Newry BT35 8HJ
    Tel: 0845 458 7230 / Fax: 02830 833 817

    I was there a few weeks ago and the stock levels weren't great, there was a shelf unit in the middle of the shop which looked like it was the place where they'd have camera bags on display but the shelves were all empty.
