    warehouse express bought my KM 7D of them and my a200. Cheap and always willing to beat a price from another website. Also one of the places you can ring and speak to a real person at the end of the phone. Delivery took three days to four days via courir in both cases

    how much did they charge you for delivery? they quoted me £35 which i though was a bit much. Will they price match on that as well?

    /edit
    just read their website where they state delivery price is included in the price comparison. interesting!

    When i bought my a200 off them, i had a look on amazon before that - there price was over £40 cheaper including priorty delivery. I sent an email to warehouse express to see if they'd beat amazons price. Recieved an email two days later sayin the will give it to me for 25% cheaper than amazon including delivery to ROI


    Edit: i also noticed after I got the a200, they droped their prices though still not lower than amazon

    I have bought loads from Warehouse Express and delivery has always been £35. Delivery takes about 4 days. Have had no problems so far!:). Would recommend them

    Used calumet recently and no problems.
    Advantage is they are also in Belfast for any 'tricky' issues in future

    at 92c its hard not to look over the web

    I too used Jessops to buy my D300. It was the same price as other online shops at the time but they had a 3 year accidental damage insurance in the package.

    No problems with delivery.
