Hong Kong Supplies Co

Ordered a Micro 105 Nikkor Lens from the above (new, via e bay) arrived today - and apart from a dodgy invoice (saying it cost $105) it's pukka and cost less than half price of the best I've seen in the UK (including £23 import tax).

Just in case anyone has been wary and has a few bob to burn.

Steve,

I've looked at buying a lens from one of those sellers from HK. They actually work out cheaper than The States. Often wondered on the saftey and reliability etc. What was your sellers id?

[_dobbo_]

I bought from a company called HKsupplies - ebay seller ID was etetfore.

As with Steve, it arrived with a dodgy looking invoice for less than the value of the item, and marked as "samples".

Other than that, it took 3 days to arrive, so no complaints at all. Even if I had got stung for VAT and duty it still would have been cheaper - but I wasn't

I've bought a few things from "urgalaxy" on ebay.co.uk and had no problems - stuff arrives really fast too. Took longer to get from HEathrow to my office than it did to get from Hong-Kong to Heathrow !!!

It was indeed

What he said.

I got my Nikon 80-400 VR from UR Galazy. Cost about £750 inc. They said it was a sample. No onport tax at all.

Sorted

All mine said "sample for test" on the customs form too - no tax or anything...

Less than 24 hours HK to my door in London (2 days to get across london when I wasn't in )
Top products, well packed and appropriately "labelled".
Also has 100% feedback.

I used 'speedlevin' to get my Speedlight SB800. £182 and marked 'a present for my friend'.

Perhaps this thread should be deleted before Customs finds it?
