Anyone used unionecomm on eBay?

Currently the cheapest supplier of the Canon 135L I have found - import I know and they have a lot of positive feedback but also a couple of dodgy ones, sadly eBay also has a lot of dodgy buyers who lie through their teeth so I don't always believe them

Checking out their ebay feedback, and googling 'Union Camera Hong Kong' does indicate a certain 'empty box' theme occurring. However if you check out their positive feedback on ebay, there are a fair few happy UK buyers.

Interestingly all their 'serious' negative feedback seems to originate with Ozzie buyers - The rest is what I would call 'non-serious' - like the guy who appeared to expect to be sold a 5D MkIII for a quid, for example.

Odd feedback isn't it?
Still for £60 more I could go for one in this country - but my preference would be to buy on here.

I'm watching one on Ebay I was gong to get but it looks like its going for the most expensive (ie past new import price) record!

I did discover their real website - Camera Paradise and it rung a few bells - they hike up the fees, the annoying this is that its to about the same as eBay importers but guaranteed charges paid.

Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM
£554.52
Shipping Cost
£70.08
Shipping Insurance
£9.44
Clearance Fee
£30.00

Total : £664.04 (same as the cheapest in this country one that just sold as I went to buy!)

Anyway as their eBay (risk it) fee is £603 I thought I'd drop them an email and try a little charm offensive (lol, with me - good luck ).
