Buying from china

Re: Buying from china

As it is virtually impossible to support British manufacturing industry these days, especially in the photographic world, my conscience usually persuades me to at least support the home retail industry. It is frequently painful in the pocket, but I do find that provided I am prepared to invest a little time in shopping around the pain can be mitigated to some extent.
Each to their own is a great British tradition, but every pound spent with overseas retail business is a pound totally lost to the UK economy.
Paul's posting above is an example of a trader who often gets my business.

Re: Buying from china

I have no qualms about buying from abroad when I think of the waste of our taxpayers money being sent to corrupt governments overseas. This is millions, not pounds, lost to this country.

Hi Sean.

I had an email from Park Cameras telling me about their clearance sale and they seem to have a lot of tripods on there!, might be worth having a look at their prices first.

Thanks Paul, I'll look now, good on ya mate.

Update, just checked out Park and their prices are as near as damn it the same as uk prices, thanks anyway Paul.

Re: Buying from china

Mmm, their clearance list - one item stands out to me
Canon EF 24-70 f4L - refurbished (in other words (usually), a faulty one that has been repaired) for only £699 - that's £30 dearer than getting a brand new, unused one from Wex (after cashback of course).

Sorry for the moan, but some companies really crack me up with their "cheap" claims.

Re: Buying from china

they work on they assumption people don't do there research - me even when out shopping in real shops I'll check the online price before buying - although the wife does get a bit annoyed when checking out the best baked beans price ;o)
