No, I cannot see why people are sceptical. I can see why they are sceptical of SLRHut. I am not used to anyone doubting my word on anything, my memory on occasion, but not my integrity. Personally before degrading the honesty or integrity of any other person, or in this case company, I require...

Well you may think those questions relevant, I actually find them quite insulting. For the record, my only connection to SLRHut is I have bought a camera from them. I came across this forum because I was searching for a new flash, and was slightly unhappy about the latest salesman's responses...

Who exactly are you suspecting of being a multi?

I need to change my screen! Re-reading the relevant paragraph after your post I agree, excise duty is nul, but customs duty isn't. I have no idea what the difference between the two is. So the next question is was it paid? SLRHut would have us believe it is. As they use DHL as a courier and...

I checked on HMRC Website before I posted that, camera from USA is not liable for duty. I have no idea why not. Possibly some mutual trade agreement Not quite right as I meant it - you are liable for VAT, and usually you pay the VAT as part of the purchase price (possibly without realising...

Studying my invoice, it tells me exactly what each bit costs etc, but has no details of the sellers address, or company status...

I agree it is unfair for some companies not to charge VAT, however when big-name companies such as play.com and Amazon get away with it by registering in Jersey, I don't see that SLRHut should get singled out on that score. I never know in advance when I buy from Amazon if I am going to get a...

Well a) I have my own Sony A300 camera that was bought from Jessops a couple years back, so whether I bought from SLRHut has no bearing on whether I think this is a good place to come, and b) are you seriously suggesting that I didn't buy my GF a camera from SLRHut? Come on, be serious - the...

I got so annoyed at some of the comments here that I decided to register. Sure I will get shot down in flames like some other posters however... I purchased a Sony A57 for my GF for her birthday a couple of months back from SLRHut. I started to stress about if for a day or two, but then got...
