I don't have any personal knowledge of the company. You might Google them and see if any good or bad posts come up. I normally stick with either Adorama or B&H. Never had a problem with either.

do a search on resellerratings.com and you will want to stay very far away.

The site just looks fishy and that's without even looking at the reviews. And reading the reviews confirm that initial hunch... run far away.

Amazon, Adorama or B&H. The past few days Amazon also has a the 5% cash back for using PayPhrase (it doesn't cost anything signup or anything).

I would be very leery of any website that has no physical address for the company. There are a few companies in NY that have been put out of business by the local authorities but they always pop back up under another name and sometimes the next day! For instance Sonic Camera was put out of business but came back under another name. Might even be this one. Always remember, if it sounds too god to be true, then it probably is.

Amazon: Read the small print. Make sure that you are buying direct from Amazon. Otherwise, you won't get Amazon's customer service and return policy.

Running their domain name through domains by proxy which for a retailer like that gives me a big STAY AWAY signal.

Also poked around their site and no physical address listed anywhere, so where do you send defective items back to?
