Just once from Panamoz, camera (Sony A7iv) fell off chair and broke left side dial, contacted Panamoz and was told send to Sony UK to get fixed (Sony had to replace the whole dial and internal parts it controlled) £400+ later I sent receipt copy to Panamoz and received full refund for repair cost within about 2 hours. Russ.
Very surprised by that, not a warranty repair as camera fell from a chair. Since I can't get emojis to work I'm writing this with a wide smile, if you bump you're car the dealer won't pay to have it repaired, wonder how Panamoz funded it.
I have one excellent lens
White box lens usually means it has been taken from a kit that would normally be sold with a body.
They sometimes sell the lens separately from the kit. It's just the packaging the lenses are the same.
But after importing costs prices are not much less than used UK and more expensive than grey plus the hassle of returns and getting refund of import costs from HMG
Which ever way you look at it - a new product is better than a used product (of the same model and specification of course). Maybe this doesn't apply to things like wallets or suchlike that "wear better" over time.
Not at all.
Of course there are exceptions including out of production and/or rare items where the second hand market is the place to buy.
My experience is exactly the opposite.

It all depends on price and where the product was bought. Please explain to me on purchasing the 4 or 5 used lenses from Japan that I bought, look like as good as new,and also the latest model .Throw into that a saving of around £1000 make more sense to me against new n the UK.
Possibly so, but after 6 weeks of researching used R5 and RF 100-500 prices in all the usual places and comparing these with the prices offered by Panamoz, Cotswold, Norwich Cameras et al, I'd contest that my buying decisions were both well structured and reasoned and not remotely hasty.....and for the two (new, grey) bodies and lenses, I saved well over £1000 vs buying used.My experience is exactly the opposite.
I think you may be displaying an example of the "hasty generalisation fallacy"...
Informal Fallacies: 15 Common Examples of Faulty Reasoning - Philosophy A Level
Informal fallacies are errors in reasoning that depend on context, not structure. Examples are straw man, circular reasoning, and ad hominem.
You appear to be taking this personally, whereas my comments are general.
Well, it's used isn't it, that's the difference, hence the difference in price?
Well, you quoted me and cited '...you...' rather than '....people here generally...' in your comment, so please excuse my confusion.
Can you not return it under distance selling regs 14 days right to return?
Do you refer to the serial on the base of your A7C? How many digits does it have?
