Buying from abroad.

[kneeslider]

A member here has advised me to go to www.onestop-digital.com (http://www.onestop-digital.com/) because they are over £130 cheaper than their british equivalents for the lense I want.

My question to all of you is, have you dealt with the company?, are they any good?, what happens if I have a problem? and has anyone experienced any difficulties with buying from non UK suppliers?

If you are a resident of the states, you need not answer. :p

I've ordered a couple of lenses from them....no problems, fast delivery, great prices!
Note that you may be charged duty and/or VAT, but I think they refund these charges.

I ordered my Sigma 24-70 EX DG Macro from them and my flash (seperately). both times they were dispatched on a friday and delivered the following monday.
On the lens, fedex sent me an invoice for customs, which onestop digital promptly refunded.
Overall I couldn't be happier, I even convinced my co worker to buy a 20D body and EF 100-400L from them (1600 quid all in) and he too is extremely happy.

I also got a lens and a flash from them with good service, no problems. I would use again without hesitation.

I bought a Macro flash from one stop digital with no problems. If you choose to go for bank transfer payment methond, remember to take off the discount :oops: before transfering money for orders over a £100 I think.

I did not have to pay any duty, but if I had, they have on there website a page that you can enter the duty amount you had to pay. You will then be required to send a original/copy of custom receipt and they should refund the duty amount back into your account.

The moment the flash and the other item was posted, it only took a few days. If you do order a few items, they will post each one separately, unless Im odd one out there.

Thanks for all the positive responses. I may well opt for this company if I'm assured that the price I see is the price I pay.
