Cotswold and Panamoz

Ordered a Z8 from Cotswold on the 14th of this month and it has turned up this morning, excellent service from them once again.

Delivery on the 5th working day, that's fast. This has all been too tempting...

Well I’ve ordered it now and had an acknowledgment- just waiting to see how long it takes to get here.

Arrived today so 9 business days. RM did just leave it on the door step although to be fair they tend to do that as we don’t have public walking past!

Now to try it on my XT5 and XM1
 
I'm still waiting, it's only be a few business days though but I'm impatient - I'm needing that Beagle eye-af soon!
 
Ordered a Sony A7V & 70-200mm lens Monday lunchtime from Panamoz, it was delivered on the Friday morning of the same week. Fantastic service as usual.

I'm wanting an A7V to replace my A7C, can't decide between EInfinity and Cotswold.

From personal experience I would go for Panamoz... I had to raise a dispute with Paypal regarding a Nikon Z 14-24mm f2.8 lens I ordered with Cotswold and wouldn't use them again. (Although my previous two orders were fine.)

If you send Tina a email at Panamoz she may match Effinity.

What was the issue with the lens?

I'm not liking the sound of this :oops: :$

I never thought to see if Panamoz would price match, used them a few times in the past without any issues. This is my first time using Cotsworld.

I placed the order with Cotswold for the 14-24mm Z f2.8 lens last July ready for our holiday in the September. I had tracking three days after ordering and started to follow the tracking process. After about six days I looked at the order again and the order had been pulled and returned to the supplier. Contacted Cotswold and they didn't know what was going on initially and then after a few more days Cotswold contacted me and stated the Paypal had pulled the order, yes right I thought!! Contacted PayPal and they said the payment had been made to Cotswold which married in with my PayPal statements. Back and forth with Cotswold and I raised a dispute with Paypal and had my money back roughly 8 weeks later.

I ended up ordering a Tamron 16-30mm G2 from Wex for my holiday.
 
I'll probably stick to E-Infinity had loads from there with zero issues.

I was going to use PayPal, but I decided to use my credit card directly as I figured it would offer more protection. Hopefully I won't have to use it.

Out of the three Cotswold is the only one I have had an issue with, I have dust on the back of a lens from them, they didn't want to know said it's totally acceptable. I did end up helping it because it does make zero difference to photos, but there messages left a sour taste.
I was hoping for a replacement if I sent it back, but they said I'd need to pay a restocking fee because id opened it.
 
As an alternative to Cotswold and Panamoz, I have just used Cameriz for the first time. I bought a Sony A1 II and a Sony 20-70 F4 for a really good price. 12 days from order to delivery via FedEX who kept me well informed on progress. I would certainly be happy to use Cameriz again.

Used them in the past for an R3 and to be fair the service was excellent although i seem to remember them being slightly more expensive.
 
Have order thousands of pounds worth of lenses and bodies through Panamoz, not a single issue and the savings are ridiculous - have never needed the three year warranty but it's nice to know it's there ;-)
 
Apparently mine was despatched this morning. Now I just need to wait for the tracking to update and tease me over the course of transit...
 
Just looked at prices for the Sony A7R vi

Cameriz just under 3k
Cotswold 3.5k
Panamoz just over 3.5k

Cameriz gtee is 2 years but no idea what they are like if any issues

They seem almost too cheap, that's a huge difference.
 
Never heard of Cameriz. Just ordered something successfully from CamerasDori for the first time; took 11 days from order to be delivered.
 
I have used Cameriz for a few purchases very successfully over the last few months. They may be the new kid on the block but they price very aggressively and I have had absolutely no problems.

Always nerve racking at first, I'll keep an eye on them.
I'm wanting an A7V later this year, unless they release an A7CRii.

I used them a month ago for an expensive lens - the price beat everyone, and delivery time was very acceptable.
 
Cotswold package just arrived, exactly 7 working days to the hour, in fact almost to the minute. I'm happy with that, time to play.
