17-55mm Plus Junk - $1090.64 Shipped

I've been searching for the best deal on a 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and this seems to be the best deal:

BUY.COM

Please comment if you've found better.

Sold by Focus Camera with a 1.8/10 rating. Stay away and buy from a reliable source! A few bucks is worth some peace of mind!

Holy moly! Glad you caught that. I figured Buy.com would have more legit sellers, their seller rating thing says Focus Camera has a score of 4.38/5.

Welp, in that case I'm going to B&H for the typical $1,120 with free shipping.

IMO it is worth the few dollars more to not worry!

I couldn't agree more. $40 and you actually get your stuff, what a deal!

Even FocusCamera.com does not have a "professional" feeling to it. You made the right decision to go to B&H/Adorama.

Focus Camera is not a scam site--they don't practice the upsell tactic. Most people who have complained have said that they either cancel a lot of orders or take too long to ship.

Agreed. They are even an authorized distribuitor.
Still, it is not worth $40 for the potential headache!

Well now the kit is sold out anyway. I too still think the piece of mind is worth the difference.

Not that you guys really care, but I've decided to go with the Sigma 17-50 os instead. I just can't justify the price of the canon. Cheers!

I am sure you will like it.
