Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 EX DC Nikon with 1 FREE 2GB SD Card 17-70nik £105.00

Not the best laid out site and appears to be run from a council estate in Cardiff?

"Subj: RE: Enquiry from Digital2u Limited

Hi

Thank's for your inquiry.

Yes, Sigma 17-70 Nikon fit is in stock and can be collected.

However, as our site and admin' are completely automated the freight cost

cannot be discounted.

Purchases can be made on our site, but then you must add a note requesting

that item be prepared for collection at our London N15 depot.

Alternatively, you could email us an official order and request collection

at our depot, this method would require full cash payment.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Many thanks



The Service Team

Company profile (written by them,the bold highlights are mine though :LOL:)

DIGITAL2U LIMITED. was established in 2005. After nearly three years of development, we have achieved remarkable success in the field of mport and export business, industry investment, manufacturing, processing and bonded storage. We are taking the leading position in the worldwide foreign trade. We are suppliers of products such as mobile phones, MP3/MP4 players, LCD TVs, GPS Navigation systems, iPods and Notebooks and Laptops.

Sounds more like a mission statement for a Fortune 500 company, not something run from a council flat in Cardiff!

The new address "UNIT 2 THE HIGH CROSS CENTRE, FOUNTAYNE ROAD, LONDON N15 4QN" comes back to a company called Fountayne International Supplies Ltd, who are "photographic wholesalers"...

I noticed this offer over the weekend, but got no answer to phone calls and felt uneasy ordering given the appearance of the website. I spoke with someone from their company yesterday and was assured everything was above board. I bit the bullet and ordered the lens to go with my newly purchased Fuji S5. Lens arrived less than 24 hours later. I didn't notice the 2GB SD card in the box, but I've left the box in the car so will check later.

Thumbs up from me. :)
 
I got my Sigma 50-150 from them and have nothing but praise for my experience. They held the lens for me (can't remember why I asked them now), were courteous and polite on the phone, and the lens arrived as described in good time.

As soneone else said, pay by credit card and you're protected, but as for running acredit check on any company, why waste your time? Creit scores are dependent on so many things, one of them being the amount of redit someone has, so you can have a low credit score because you don't have, or need, any credit.
 
sounds like he's drop shipping, the lens isn't on the website now though
 
Its not EX, but actually build quality wise its the same.

Excellent lens!
