I also purchased my DS from Buydig, and when it turned out to be defective they replaced it quickly and without much hassle. So, I would likely to buy from them again if they'd again have the item I need and at a good price.
[digression on] Now, I'd like to share some discoveries based on Shel's information. I didn't know that Beach Camera (aka beachcamera) is the same store, but indeed, their physical address for the mail-order/warehouse is the same: 80 Carter Drive Edison NJ 08817 The phone number 1-732-968-6400 is also used by both. Funny, that BeachCamera lists its showroom address as 203 RT. 22 EAST GREENBROOK, NJ (203 US Hwy 22), while the BBB record for the Buydig lists an additional address: 203 Route 22 East, Dunellen, NJ 08812 What I don't like, however, that they write this: "Please be aware that Buydig.com does not operate under any other name that may look or sound the same. We are the name that you have come to trust. When doing your shopping keep in mind that others may try to look the same but there is only one Buydig ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ with one URL www.buydig.com ." I understand that this statement is designed to separate from _similarly__ named stores, but why hide that they are related to Beach Camera? Also, Buydig shows "Verified By Visa" logo on their web-site, while it is not on the list of the merchants participating in that program. Beach Camera is on that list. If someone is interested to find all similarities (similar last names of the principals, etc), - check the BBB records: http://www.trenton.bbb.org/nis/newsearch2.asp?ID=1&ComID=0221000001002462 http://www.trenton.bbb.org/nis/newsearch2.asp?ID=1&ComID=0221000010000396 All this shouldn't matter much, since the track record seems to be good. I am just always surprised if I observe such strange secrecy. [digression off] Igor Wed, 01 Mar 2006 19:38:41 -0800 Shel Belinkoff wrote: Yes, I'd recommend buydig without hesitation. Also Beach camera. I understand they are two arms of the same organization. Beach is even rated a little higher than buydig at resellerratings.com. Both have been less expensive than B&H on the items I checked, and they usually offer free shipping. Shel
