Could this be true? ADVICE PLEASE!

hello everyone! im new to this forum and i am purchasing a canon 30D soon. I of course am searching for the best deal that doesnt include expresscameras.com or bestpricecameras.com. I found this package to be coveniently priced between the unheard of(expresscamera.com) and list(ritzcamera.com). The eBay feedback is also very positive. Let me know if this seems fishy or if anyone knows of a better priced 30D multi-lens package. i appreciate the help and am excited to become a new member to this forum.
Thanks for your help in advance!

The ebay store is called ShopSunshine.

Do you have any ebay link for us to see?
Also, any ebay seller with around 99% positive and thousands of feedbacks is quite reliable.

It would really help if you actually included a link to the ebay store. I did a quick search and what I saw didn't impress me. Most, if not all, of the ebay camera kits are junk. The bundled lenses are the cheapest offerings by the mfg, and the accessories are completely worthless. You are MUCH better off buying from a reputable vendor such as B&H, Adorama, Canoga Camera, Newegg, to name but a few.

Is it express camera or express cameraS?
Can you please copy/paste full URL, rather than re-writing it?

The first one seems to be scam:

http://www.resellerrat​ings.com/store/Express​_Cameras

but the second looks better:

http://www.resellerrat​ings.com/store/Ritz_Ca​mera_7

Expresscameras is a complete scam, while Ritz is quite reputable, but WAY overpriced.

Cody, you know the saying... if it is too good to be true... Have you had a look at B&H? These guys are one of the most reliable and decently priced places.

Make sure where ever you buy it they are a Canon Authroized Reseller, otherwise Canon will not stand by the warranty....

Very true.
There are many gray market stuff on the Ebay.
Also watch out for the "Boxed and Never been open" quote.
It does not automatically mean the item is new, it could be a refurbished item.

Forget the kits and do a search for the individual items you want on pricegrabber.com.
All their sellers are reputable and safe.

That would be Sunshine Camera and Video, of notorious Brooklyn. Let's see what the BBB has to say about them:

Based on BBB files, this business has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau, because there is a pattern of complaints, and the business has not corrected the underlying reason for the complaints.

BH has great prices, but Adorama had the best price when I bought my XT. Also, the shipping was very very fast. I was living in the UK at the time I bought my camera and they got it to me in less than a week...

As a blanket statement, that is completely untrue. The account may have just recently been hijacked, or the seller may have just recently decided to start scamming.

The Better Business Bureau is a club of and run by businesses. It is not an oversight organization. That's not to say it is worthless, but the information from the BBB should not be used as your only measure of a business's performance rating. I ran a small writing service a long time ago, and a BBB guy waltzed into the office, gave his speech, and walked away with my money. I never heard from the BBB again, except when they sent me my membership packet in the mail. Of course, nowadays they might be running things differently.

Seriously, B&H, Adorama, Beach Camera, and a few select others are pretty much the only places that get my money anymore. Too many shady places out there...

Who would have guessed Ritz is reliable??

B&H, Adorama, Beach Camera, do own all though with reliability and prices. Dell is good ut prices suck overall except when they have a sell which is so random. They had the 70-200 F2.8 for $1039. But my account was full so I couldn't get it. I was sad.
