Item was received in 'DigitalRev.com' packaging, but was purchased from another HK seller.

Never had a problem with them.

They have a UK call no I'd try that first if I were you.

e.mailed and got promise of a refund.. we'll see how long it takes...

The shoe enables you to use a standard hot-shoe flash unit on the KM Dynax/Sony Alpha series bodies, plus its got a sync socket.
Useful in theory... if only it worked :bang:

PS Note this was ordered from a firm in HK that I'd not heard of, but was received in DigitalRev.com packaging...:thinking:

DR did have a sister company that sold small stuff on eBay, I bought my lcd protector from them and it came with a free DR phone neck strap thingy. I'm sure the company I bought from was called dconnected but they have not sold anything for months.

When I think about it, mine arrived in DigitalRev packaging, as did something else I bought from ebay the same week from another HK seller.

I just disputed the charge with Paypal and the seller refunded my money within the hour :)

I contacted PayPal earlier today and have just been notified of refund, many thanks for the advice.
The firm I bought from was 'yaoyaosheyinghang2008', but item was rec'd in DigitalRev.com packing.
Cheers, :thumbs:

It would appear that although this item had 'DigitalRev.com' on the packaging, that firm was not connected to the seller.

Please see previous posting from DigitalRev.

Strange, because I received packages from two different sellers (not the one mentioned above) and both items were wrapped with DigitalRev tape. :thinking:

Maybe these other sellers are buying stuff from DR and selling it on?
