Any Aussies Ever Bought From

quikshop.com.au? Their prices are extremely good plus free shipping on all orders. Almost too good to be true .....

Any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Never heard of them Dave, but cheaper prices normally mean imported goods, so off OS for warrenty. If you do not mind that this guy is good (yes have used him before) and very competative. He is based in Nth Sydney and allows arranged pickups.

And for storefront and Au versions these guys are ok for some gear also (also used before)

Forgot to add Dave, European Cameras will also trade nikon gear, not top dollar of course but usually a fair deal if you do not want to bother selling yourself.

Thanks Gerry, but I'm still tempted! I've used d-dphotographics before and they're great, but this mob beats them hands down especially on their Sigma lenses!

Anyone else ?????

Hi Dave

I can highly recommend them , they sell both Aust stock and imports , they inform you if your item will be imported and provide fast postage with tracking, I received my camera from Hong Kong 2 Days after payment and saved over 40% on local price, I was emailed several times during the transaction and kept informed of the process. They also provide Warranty on the imported models.

The camera/lens prices here in NZ is much much dearer (on average) than of OZ. I found the prices to be really competitive, will ask them if they ship "across".

Hi, Just checked out your suggested site for prices. I took delivery yesterday of Tamron 90mm Macro lens from Digital rev. Cost A$350 + A$70 shipping and insurance using UPS. Took 3 days shipping to Perth from HK. Quikshop has the same lens on sale at A$580 + free shipping. I am not here to recommend Digitalrev (eBay) but have purchased electronics from them in the past with good service. My point here is your suggested retailer seems a little expensive, shop around?

Cheers

Have you tried Parallel Imported? Good prices and they will refund you if you are not happy with your gear...All their gear is imported but you get full warranties (in most cases international warranties) with all purchases...man, do I miss them now that I'm in Europe

Thanks for the tip, but I compared the lenses I was specifically looking at namely the Sigma 10-20mm and the Sigma 100-300 f/4.

$500 at QS vs. $480 + $70 shipping at Drev for the 10-20mm and the 100-300 is not available at Drev.

Maybe they have just got real good deals on Sigmas.

Thnaks again ....

Thanks Gottschalk, are you talking about "Parallel Imports" in the generic sense or have you got a specific link?

Thanks for replying.

I havent used them before, but came across them while trying to find prices on some Sigma lenses, they're the official Australian importer of Sigma lenses
http://www.crkennedy.com.au/v1/index.cfm?pageID=315&pageRef=210&

According that that site, "We will match, through our authorised Sigma dealer network, any legitimate advertised internet price on Sigma lenses by these grey importers." Might be worth giving them a call and finding out what the story is, if you do then please post back here, I'm curious to know myself

I've only ever bought camera stuff from bricks-and-mortar stores, so sorry I can't be of more help!

Dale JY · Apr 10, 2008

Yea Dave my 1st post , I felt it necessary to sign up and give Qickshop a plug as I found them to excellent.

Pleasure to deal with:

local call, local guys
ordered and paid (bank) Wed, confirmed Thurs received Fri (excellent)
Well packed, FedEx delivery, no shipping, low insurance cost
Hong Kong stock but could I ask more for the price? ( Sigma 18-200 HSM OS total cost AU$ 356).

BTW - I had 18-200 previous version, it was half the weight and not even close to be solid as this one. It's night here so no real testing but at this stage I can say - OS really does the job with my shaky hands. Not sharp as kit lens , but so far so good.

cheers
