Onestop Digital

I found them to be nothing less than excellent in my three dealing with them so far... highly recommended.
 
Thanks everybody, they are very cheap compared to other places so i just got a bit suspicious, but i think i might do a bit of shopping now :)

I have used them several times, ordered a Speedlite 430EX II last Thursday and it arrived this morning
 
Just checked out the site and yes the prices do appear to be low, but as the items are being shipped from Hong Kong I presume I should allow for Customs Duty on top?

Am I right in thinking that if I ordered a camera lens the Duty is going to be typically 5-9% and will VAT be payable as well? (did see a reference on the Onestop Digital website, that they will refund VAT paid, but Duty? )

I also tried looking on the Customs & Excise website, but could not find the correct pages...........

You need to check closer, OneStop goods are VAT free. They will refund any vat paid. :)
 
Yes, VAT free, if you get charged they will refund. I just received my 2xSB600s with no issues or VAT.

How can imported goods be VAT free? If these items are coming in from HK somebody has to pay the duties.

It's part of their price promise; hence why the poster stated "they will refund any VAT paid". :)

Seems to me people are buying these goods and if not paying duty on import they could potentially get a bill from customs and excise somewhere down the line. Surely in law the duties are payable. Will Onestopdigital be around to pay the duties at a later date?

Nobody is denying that duties are indeed payable. OSD have been around for a while but I've never heard of them not paying up when required.

At the end of the day it's down to the person buying from them to be aware of the potential risks. For me, I prefer not to use them; for others it may be different.
 
I've used them and would definitely buy from them again my Lens appeared within a few days after ordering and i had no extra custom fees to pay :D
