Checked Park Camera, the prices are very good! does that mean they don't include VAT?

Hi aam1234

Yes VAT is included ( Says so way down the page )

I tend to use Warehouse Express
Found them very reliable and a next day service.
If you use them do phone to check item is in stock. ( Doesn't say on web sight)

Anyone used ukdigital.co.uk?

They have the 20D cheapest I can find, £1059.00 inc VAT http://www.ukdigital.co.uk/canon_eos_20d.htm

I've used this shop a lot, they do next day delivery if you order before 2pm.
Very reliable with good prices.

Hi aam1234,

Yeah park are my fave dealer, even better if you can get down to them, the burgess hill branch has some excellent staff, wonderful selection of lenses, printers, paper and bags.

I'll give a positive vote for warehouse express.

I've used Park Cameras a few times recently and found them to be very good. They respond quickly to emails and it's worth contacting them before you order to check stock though as I've had to wait for the last few items I ordered. It's worth it for the low prices I think.

[evilenglishman]

Park are okay but don't bother with their part exchange/upgrade offers. They will only give you around £300 for your 10D

I don't live in the UK. But the reason I asked is b/c: 1- prices are comparable to US's 2- I thought I might save on shipping 3- There is always somebody here going to the UK (for exchanging an item for example).

The only problem is that I have an address in the UK (p.o.box) so I'll be subject to VAT (I guess).

i'm in UK, but nearly all my gear are from B&H, simply can't stand being ripped off in daylight by those sky high RRP.

Are you sure? most electronics in the uk are much more expensive than us prices.

I compared the price of 100-400 L, while the UK price is higher but not by much.

[evilenglishman]

UK price: £1,159.95

USA Price: $1,409.95

£1,159.95 = $2,079.44 - $669.49 extra

[aam1234]
