I bought my Optio WP from them in 2005 and a top of the line Sony p&s for work in 2004. Both were extremely cheap and took ages and some strongly worded reminders to come through and were shipped from France. Both were misdeclared as German merchandise and when I complained about that I got a friendly mail after some waiting time saying there wasn't any difference. At the time I didn't know better because I had all my money to myself and normally just went to IRL stores where I felt good about buying, preferentially small, owner operated. I briefly considered pixmania again in 2007/2008 for Pentax DSLR related gear but quickly backed off when I read their ratings which were under 95% positive with a lot of people complaining of not getting money back or repairs on their returned items which instead seemed to get lost regularly without so much as a reaction from Pixmania and for service they said often times you had to phone directly to France... so I decided they have to be at least 10% cheaper than the next vendor and accept my Amex online purchase insurance for me to consider them again.
During the GBP low I shopped around for prices on a bunch of stuff - still can kick myself for not ordering the 60-250 before Pentax jacked the price up under my mouse - and found SRS Microsystems to always be among the cheapest and they seem reputable to me - have you considered them? So my opinion in a nutshell: I would choose Pixmania only if they save me so much money that it will be worth the risk and hassle... Good luck Ecke BTW lowest price in Germany is roughly the same so ordering from here won't help you 2010/2/17 mike wilson <[email protected]>: > http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/r/pentax-kx? > > Anyone know of a better deal than this?
