I received a link to hvstar.net and they have a perfect 10 on reseller rating but the prices are kind of low to me. Has anyone had a good or bad experience with them? Thanks

I recently ordered a CPL from them and it came within a week.

They also have great customer service!

I've ordered several times from them and have had nothing but great experiences.

IMHO, 2 thumbs up.

Multiple times. Their prices are awesome, just shipping can get expensive for multiple items and it can take a while to get to the states.

It's the only place that I buy filters now. When I ordered my last order, they had some sort of special where I bought my B+W filter and they gave me a Tiffen filter holder, a lenspen and some cleaning cloths for free. Great place to buy from, as long as you don't need the items immediately.

Thanks everyone. I guess their prices are so low because they are selling the product from its place of production. I see that they sell on ebay as well and have some great feedback (external link) on there. Anyone that has over 19000 feedback and a 99.8% positive rate has my vote. I am sold and I am placing my order now.

Hvstar is the greatest.
Delivery to the states in roughly a week and unbeatable prices.
Hands down the best place to order filters and camera accessories.

I have ordered from them many times. I would not hesitate to order from them again.
