Back again...
Just to clarify - is it up to me which centre I send equipment to? It appears you just print off and fill out the PDF repair form on the CPS site but there's no information on where you send stuff.
Can I elect to send stuff to Elstree? Do I contact them directly first to book it in or at least warn them it's coming or just send it to them? Bit wary about just sending something off without at least contacting them first.
just put the stuff in a box, bung your cps green sticker on the top of the box, make sure all your stuff is registered on the cps website, its simple.
i think elstree are the only center that does the 5dmk3 and 1dx as well.
you put what you want repaired in this link, then all the places pop up
