Following threads on here about cameras from HK, and the saving over the UK prices, I have a question:
Do they come with cash back? If not, then I cannot see where the saving are to be had. I can buy a 40D body only down the road for £599 (so less £100 cash back, that is £499). The best price I have found from HK is this:
I can buy that lot down the road (after cash back) for:
Canon EOS 40D DSLR Body GBP 499.99 x2
Canon BG-E2N Battery Grip GBP 99.99 x2
DHL or UPS Express (Zone 5) GBP 0.00
Import Handling for UK Import VAT/Duty GBP 0.00
Total Order Cost GBP 1199.96
Cheaper and all with UK warranty.
But........... buying from HK must be cheaper because so many do it, so where am I going wrong?
