5/5

posted Mar-01-2007
Very good on price, but not too good with shipping, Very good on customer support.
I ordered a Canon 17-85mm lens, which arrived out of the canon box and rolling around in the inner box. I was skeptical if it was still working so I returned it for a replacement. The customer support was OK, Took me a while to get the manager to approved the exchange. I was afraid that there as internal problems. The lens itself was OK, but there was a small scratch on the outside. I guess that would be UPS's fault.
So I finally got it, that's why I'm modifying the this review. They shipped lens pretty fast. The moment it got there they shipped it out the same day. I personally think they should've gone with Fedex instead of UPS. From my experience UPS tend to ship it in bad condition more often than Fedex. Infact, I don't recall receiving a fedex shipment that was in bad condition.
I'm very pleased with the customer service, even though it took about a week to get.
I had to pay the initial 8 bucks to ship it back and they shipped it to me again for free. This time they got it right, Though the outer box was still messed up, the inner Canon box was still fine, Unopen and in pretty good shape.
Overall the store itself really makes an effort to send you the stuff, But in good condition or not, I don't really know, as I experienced. I bought a 50mm prime lens from them before and that was fine. That is why I came back to them.
Customer support is good I guess, they addressed my problem, but I did needed to go to the manager to get a replacement.
Price wise, it's excellent. One of the cheapest, if not the cheapest place I can find on the web that is legit.
I would highly recommend this store to anyone, but I personally would not buy again, not because the store sucks at sending things, but just because I would like to get my expensive things faster and in better condition. I would however buy cheaper products from them ~ 200 and less.
