7dayshop. Now I like the price, I have used them for loads of cheap stuff. Never a Lens. Anyone had any experance with them? They say sent RMSD so shuold be next day? Any feedback?
Bargepole. Touch. Not.
Personally I've had two very bad experiences with 7dayshop and I've vowed
never to use them again.
Last summer they had a special offer on a Canon 400mm f/2.8 for whch they'd lost/damaged the packaging but was otherwise brand new. At £4000 I jumped in, expecting that it would probably have been sold by now, but when they charged my card I thought I must have got lucky. However the lens didn't arrive ... so I enquired ... and it turned out that they only had the one at that price, and they'd already sold it to someone else. No problem, I suggested, they could send me another one at that price; after all, by charging my card they had entered into a contract. Of course they didn't want to do that, and said they'd refund my money, but somehow it took them nearly a month to do so.
Another time I wanted two Canon 400mm f/5.6s. They charged my card for two, sent me an invoice for two, but only sent me one lens. It turned out that they only had one in stock, and they had no idea when they'd get any more in, and they weren't able to give me a good explanation as to why they had charged my card for two. Again it took me nearly a month to get my money back.
Their operational model seems to be:
(a) first of all, grab the money from the customer's card;
(b) then check to see if they've got the item in stock;
(c) if the item isn't in stock, don't bother to tell the customer;
(d) just wait and see whether the customer enquires and complains.
hehe.
So have to watch the pennies now.
