I've been reading a lot of grey imports come with an inferior aftermarket battery and charger... has anyone had this with Panamoz?
Lenses are packed and sent from a different source as i also ordered a lens when i ordered the D71000 the other week, lens was packaged superbly but the D7100 just had a brown paper wrapping and the Nikon DF just inside a thin plain box with no extra protection at allI've just had a lens from them and it must have been wrapped in 4 inches of bubble wrap.

Indeed as Coleman's comment. Panamoz greys are sourced from Asia countries most likely to be Japanese ones. They will come with original chargers but u need a converter in order to plug it into UK mains. Also sometimes they will remove the manual and the warranty card will certainly be removed.No, I ordered a 6d last year which came with the original battery. The charger was also original, but not with a UK plug. They did include an adapter though.
If you buy from a reputable seller like panamoz, hdew, digital rev you shouldn't have any problems.

Reason for warranty card to be taken out, they need to keep hold of it if something g happens to the gear, so when we return the gear to them, they can do a warranty with the manufacturer directly. That's my thinking on this anyway.

Apologise the price I saw was with the 24-105mm lens
"Panamoz greys are sourced from Asia countries most likely to be Japanese ones."...... Most likely Hong Kong.
"They will come with original chargers but u need a converter in order to plug it into UK mains"....... Illegal practise.
"Reason for warranty card to be taken out, they need to keep hold of it if something g happens to the gear, so when we return the gear to them, they can do a warranty with the manufacturer directly. That's my thinking on this anyway"...........It's to stop the buyer trying to claim under the manufacturers warranty because import duty/VAT probably hasn't been paid & manufacturers won't cover grey imports. (A few sellers don't insist on returns to Asia they use UK repairers)
... but u need a converter in order to plug it into UK mains.
Are u referring to legality of grey import or the plug? If the latter not sure why it is illegal. In terms of the former this is not the thread for raising this. This is to share buying experience not a legal/technical tussle.
So please reserve those comments on the relevant topics.
I am not sure what point I made that have you believed that I am some kind of king pin importer that has an illegal business behind it.
All I was doing was replying to your suppositions on the points YOU made!
(btw, as asked in other threads & un answered, are you somehow connected with grey imports?)

The entire business model of grey import is as how I have described. How they get around the legal wrangles I don't know and frankly I don't care. So that's why I am saying again you need to refer your opinion and frankly irrelevant ones to somewhere else. As stated previously this is an EXPERIENCE sharing topic not for the likes of you to vent righteousness at. That's all.
I don't belueve there are any false fact in my points either. A number of members bought from Panamoz have Japanese or Chinese language as default OSD so that would have meant they are certainly sourced from those countries...again weather it is legal or illegal is beside the point of this thread. So please do not diverge the topic.
I have not `diverged` the topic, it's YOU who keeps getting defensive. (for some reason?)
btw,Why did you start this `WOW` thread in the first place, when there is already a thread on folk's experiences with this seller?
Oh for Gods sake, does it really matter? God forbid somebody creates a thread.
I was lead to believe this was a friendly form but all I ever see is childish bickering and one upman ship.
Not in my experience. UK charger and plug each time from Panamoz.
Carlos whatever it was prompted you to post here, whatever the reason or rational behind it let's put it behind.Elliott, I agree with you. The problems arise when a poster picks out tidbits of conversation they don't like & get defensive for some reason.
Look back on the thread & tell me what I have posted that is so wrong.
I suggest ricky 1980 should be asked what's wrong with responses.
At a guess they must have got the UK/European stock on those.Not in my experience. UK charger and plug each time from Panamoz.

To be fair I really would like to know their supply chain. It seems so good I want a piece of the sweet pie
Lol point taken there... But it is a gravy train and lets leave it there.Asking questions like that will surely drag your thread down?
