Too good to be true????

I was looking this morning after a work mate mentioned it... I decided against when I found mentions of items shipped with only retail box (ie. no additional packaging), part shipments of kits (ie. body + lens, only body shipped), long dispatch times etc.

Not just here but elsewhere too.

I'm pretty sure Gibraltar is treated the same as the likes of Tenerife, ergo VAT is not charged at the point purchase (as Gibraltar is not part of the VAT system), however you would still be liable to pay it when the goods land in the UK

The site clearly states there is no additional extra cost - it cleary says no extra VAT needs to be paid, they pay VAT - price you see is price you pay.

I was really hoping to find if people have had any experience, not heresay or speculation.
 
There have been a few threads about them recently. If you do a search you should find them.

That said I have a friend who bought her 600D from them and had no issues. Shipping was a bit slow but she got in touch with them and they confirmed it had been sent ok.

I think she'd use them again
