Hi I recently purchased CANON 70-200 F2.8 IS II from Hdewcameras.
I hope this helps anyone who is perhaps a bit skeptical about this supplier.
I was a bit cautious and gave them a call. They were brilliant and really helpful & not pushy in any way, I questioned the subject of grey imports & they explained that they purchase only genuine stock direct and offer a no quibble 7 day return policy & also a 12 month warranty through Canon or Nikon service repair centres.
I then asked them how about there business & how long had they been trading etc, they explained that they had been a successful high street shop for years & then as things changed they moved to internet retail in order to remain competitive.
I then asked if I could pick up my lens from there premises & they said of course you can just let us know when you want to call & we will have it ready for you. I was asked where I lived & the lady said its not worth you travelling 2.5 hours each way when you can have the lens tomorrow if you decide before 3pm but its your choice we do not mind either way, again no pressure selling involved just polite sensible advice.
I was offered the following options. 1 purchase before 3pm & have the lens the next day before midday. 2 wait & have a think about it as we have enough stock.
3 Take a look on our facebook page & see our reviews.(hdewcameras)
I chose 3 and sure enough the reviews on facebook were 100% positive.
I got back to them before 3pm, had an email 4 min after my order was placed, and a dispatched email and tracking order about 1.5 hours later.
Next day was Saturday and there was a knock at the door at 9.30 am with a lovely brand new canon 70-200 with warranty. I just cannot fault them in any way.& yes the lens is a genuine one with all the correct markings & serial numbers.
