Brisbane POTN: General Ramblings Thread

ahh, I was looking a them, but I didn't know whether to trust them or not.

I ended up getting both mine off e-bay for a better price than what I could get in a shop

Just re-read you post Helen, you're leaving tonight......whoops I read it before as you leaving tomorrow night. Sorry I can't help you.

How long are you staying in Melb for?

Yeah, id imagine so. Although i did ask like 1 minute after she posted. Ah well

Anyone here from Bne/Aus ever bought from B&H in the US?

Their prices, even when converted to AU$, seem pretty good but I seem to be stuck for options from what I read on their checkout webpages.

They don't accept paypal for Aus deliveries, c/card only. The shipping address must match your c/card billing address. For me that's a PO Box. They won't ship to a PO Box.

Unless I'm missing something, that there's a Catch-22.

Any ideas? Or Aus stores with comparable prices? I was after the Manfrotto 3021BPRO (055PROB in Aus I believe) tripod with 488RC2 head. I looked at some online stores here but they don't seem to carry those.

Try Adorama as well. I dont know about their shipping policies but they could be worth a try.

Thanks. I'll give it a look...

Yep - much "easier". It's on the way. Yay for me.

I was actually after a 055MF3 and a 488RC2 as well... but I found that they were MUCH cheaper in US than here.... like you can save a good couple of hundred all up on that combo.

Glad to see you got joy through adorama.
