Just thought I'd let you know that, on Friday, I ordered a 7d from HDEW Cameras. It's a grey import but they provide a 3-year warranty. The price was £999 plus I asked if it could be sent recorded delivery, so an extra £10.

Unfortunately, they said that they were out of stock (even though their site said in stock?) but that they would be getting some more on Monday - I've heard stories of people waiting for weeks to get their orders but, on Tuesday at 12:00, everything arrived just as described. The camera hadn't been touched (I know some companies seem to sell display models from shops).

Ordering (by phone) was really simple and the woman I spoke to was really helpful on a number of occasions, so it's a big :thumbs: from me!

(Here's the link to the 7d, although they've only got a couple left.)
 
Can vouch for HDW too - ordered a 7D from them, and they delivered it next day, which was a Saturday. I was considering swapping one of the lenses I bought from them, and they were more than happy to do it for me. I was going to take it on holiday with me on Canada - they said to take it and try it - if it wasnt what I wanted, they'd swap it with another lens.

Friendly and knowledgeable - top marks in my books, and where I'll be heading for my 5D mk 2 soon.
 
Just bought my 5D from them too - again, top service.
 
I got a 50D from them recently. Completely trouble free transaction. Very helpful on the phone. I'd buy from them again.

That would put me off buying from them as I would be asking myself what happens to all the kit that is returned as used, do they have a used section ? or is it repackaged and sold on as new!.
 
double post.
 
See that Amazon are fulling their orders on their Amazon site...

So if thats the case does it mean that Amazon are slling "grey/imported" goods now :shrug:

In fairness, most places have a return policy, so its not unusual. In this instance, they allowed me to take the lens away, which was good, I thought. I dont know if they return it to the supplier or what the deal is. I havent had cause to suspect that my parts were used before so have not asked the question.
 
im looking for a 7D at the moment. But if they are grey imports that puts me off alittle
 
No probs with HDEW, 7D, great service, give them a call to ease your mind,
