Thinking about buying Sony A7r3. Price here is Ireland is ridiculous €3500.
Im looking for cheaper options. Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, i have the same impression, there is probably nothing Irish on this website except .ie domain.

I was wondering if anybody got something from them, how was delivery process, tracking, customers service, contact service ect.

You can probably get everything cheaper from E-Infinity and they are for sure reputable. A good few people here have bought a lot of stuff with them including myself with no issues.

I don’t know anything about their reputation but based on their phone contact, it leads to this crowd in New York-

Maybe save €500 if you get it from ebay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/162791389942?clk_rvr_id=1489508286093&lgeo=1&rmvSB=true

But you won't get much, if any warranty. And even if you did, it probably won't do you any good; https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?481109-Warranty-issue-for-an-item-bought-from-a-business-store-on-eBay&p=5059581&viewfull=1#post5059581

I have used panamoz twice before and found them good, no complaints.

I've never dealt with either but found Einfinity to be great. And they ship from England so no nasty hidden import taxes and duties. 👍

Sorry for bumping this up but what are E-infin like? what kind of waiting times have you experienced? thinking of buying a 6D markii.

Did you or anyone incur custom costs?

Thanks

I've made 4 separate purchases from them to date (1 camera body and 3 lenses) and have had about a 7 working day turn around from ordering to delivery. I've never had an issue and they have a great score on Trust Pilot. They send you a picture of your package just before it ships also with the tracking details.



I've never had to pay customs duty but I think that may be due to some funny business on their side. They say its included in the price you pay but on the box my camera came in had "Electronic Spares" written as the contents so they might not be too honest in that regard.

You pay exactly what you see on screen, there is no custom cost.I have bought from them recently my Zeiss 55 1.8 FE. All went smooth, no probs. I got email order confirmation straightway. Then 2 days nothing. Than next day another confirmation with image of my product and info about shipping. All got in within 7 working days, no probs. I would buy from then again.

On side note: you need to realise item is very likely grey market item with no EU warranty hence super low price. If something goes wrong you will need to send it back to Hong Kong and hope for the best. In your case though: 6D2: Canon will repair grey market products so you won't have to send it outside EU. Go for it but before you order maybe just drop them email and check if they have it in stock.

Thanks all for reply. I could not ignore much lower prices on Panamoz and bought my A7R3 plus 24-105 from them. All came in one piece. Can't complain.

I have also bought Zeiss 55 1.8 from E-infinity. All good, no probs.

I'd recommend both to anybody depending which is cheaper for what you need.

Thanks guys, really pleased to hear some positive reviews on these.

I will certainly be using them for my next purchase
