    Hello, just wondering if the above site is well established/genuine?

    I just checked the price of the 5D Mk II and it's only £1487! Is this too good to be true?

    On Warehouse Express, it's 1699 and Park Cameras 1779.

    I THINK i bought some pocket wizard cables from him/them a few years ago (just checking the link to the site now....net is slow in the middle of the outback!) and checking my Gmail to see if I have an email receipt from them.

    The site is looking familiar from when I ordered stuff. I can't access my gmail right now to search for a receipt email. I will later when I'm back in semi civilisation. I had no problems dealing with them apart from their pocket wizard cables being on the expensive side. Ok Gmail working there and can't find the receipt so I must have used a different email.

    Give them a call to make sure someone hasn't hacked their site and your paying them instead.

    Excellent Company to deal with bought a good few lenses from then, delivered to my door (Cork) in less than 24hrs. The 5DMKII is coming in at £1784.40 after vat on their website.

    Ah, no VAT :( I should have read the small print! And I thought I'd found a bargain...

    Showing VAT inclusive prices is a legal requirement in the UK.

    To put it bluntly, any UK or Irish retailer who advertises using VAT
    exclusive prices would not fit any reasonable definition of a
    'reputable company'.

    Actually, there's a get out clause. If most of your sales are done with, or targeted at, business customers, then you can display prices exclusive of VAT. Robert white IIRC do a lot of top end gear for pros so they could probably describe themselves as such.

    Did you notice that the warehouse express price includes the official Canon grip? It makes it a good deal.

    No really. Retailers must show the VAT inclusive price. Trade-only suppliers
    can exclude VAT. Anyone who supplies both trade and retail can display
    both, but the VAT-inclusive price must be given equal prominence. It must
    not be hidden in the small print.
