Hi all

I need a huge favour from one of you wonderful people. Long story short I have to return a camera to Panamoz for a replacement, however they no longer ship to N Ireland and will only ship to a mainland UK address.

Problem is I don't know anyone from there, so is there anyone here (ideally someone who I've maybe dealt with before on the classifieds, after all this is a expensive item) who would be willing to help me out by receiving the replacement camera and forwarding it on to me. Obviously I will cover the postage costs and fire an extra tenner on top for the inconvenience.


I do realise that this is a big ask, but I figured this is the best place to try.

Thanks people!
 
Greg - we have not dealt in the classifieds but you did send my daughter some Nintendo games free of charge once, so if I can help out then fine by me.
Assuming all that is involved is me taking delivery and then taking it to the PO then I can cope with that !
I don't want a tenner or anything but will say that I cannot take any responsibility for any damage or whatever. I guess sending it on by RMSD is fine as that gives proof of postage and a tracking code ?
I have just sold a few items on here so I imagine I can provide some sort of reference if you want.

Let me know !
 
Just make sure you have it in writing that panamoz will cover any customs charges etc as if you have someone else take delivery first then I think this could create complications as they become first importer, even though this is a replacement rather than a new camera too. It will probably be fine but it's worth considering.

I'll make sure that Panamoz confirm that via email before going ahead. They do state all that on their site.

Thanks for the heads up though.
 
Thanks Suz - I don't want to be paying any taxes for no man !

PM on its way Greg, and it really is no problem - what goes around comes around is the saying !

This is a definite must, and with the way things are going with HMRC, make sure they confirm it will be sent correctly described on the declaration and valued at the purchase price as that can also be a problem for the importer (who is the UK recipient).

I have been on the receiving end of help and favours here and recently have had a couple of sales with some of the loveliest people - there are a lot of good folk out there !
 
That's what a good forum is all about. Had I seen the OP's first post earlier I would of put my name forward straight away, even though we've not dealt in the classifieds. I'm available to take deliveries any day as I don't work because of a back problem. I have used Panamoz quite a few times and even had a replacement lens under warranty and can't fault their service. Glad you've got it sorted OP.

Top work steve and thanks for reporting back on the successful mission :)
 
Good to hear it has arrived safely Greg, and once again, it was no big deal - I have just received a parcel from yamahatdm900 with a freebie book in it and he even paid the postage, so what goes around hopefully comes around.
Now go enjoy that new toy - just what I am going to do !
