Looking to get a DSLR from this website, just wondering has anyone dealt with them?
Any issues with delivering to Ireland?
Any problems with delivery, service or trying to return an item?

Thanks for the help

Those style sites always ring alarm bells for me! Also looks like they ship from Hong Kong (and only to UK so would have to use parcel motel) so probably will have customs to pay. Also just set up late last year by whois on domain.

I'd go with http://www.calumetphoto.co.uk/ or http://www.wexphotographic.com/

As above they are a Hong Kong based seller an I have never heard of them. I would be inclined to stick to one of the more reputable sellers like those mentioned above. Also if they are grey market imports, canon Europe may not honour the warranty.

This is a good site for comparing prices at reputable stores:

http://www.onestop-digital.com/ seem very good prices I find. There's a thread about them here a few months back (safe, reputable site).

Hi OP tried to use eglobaldigital through parcel motel a while ago, they wont deal with anyone outside of the uk, ended up using simplyelectronics.net. Unfortunately they also ship from hong kong but i only got hit with €10 and shipping was quick so happy in the end .

Have you used them before? Looking for a 7D and their price seems very good.

Ya, I bought a Pentax lens from them. I had to pay import duty/VAT/whatever you call it. Bu t it mentions on their site that if you get caught for it/have to pay to e-mail them a copy of the document. I did and they transferred the amount the next day! Happily surprised.
Search for the thread about the site, it's within photography forum or sub forum and has a lot more details & comments from other people

So the best thing to do is avoid?

Saw a new canon 60d for 415 stg from eglobaldigitalstore

I emailed them and they said they ship from the UK

Its all lies??
