Camera website - anyone used it?

mwexford

I'm in the market for a new DSLR camera, possible a Canon eos 500d. I've been looking at this site - does anyone know anything about it - whether it's ok? Prices seem very good, although they don't seem to have the above camera at the moment.

They dont have a contact number you can ring, and the address is a street of houses rather than offices/warehouse. Its a front, the camera will be coming from hong kong

Thanks Davy. I'll deal closer to home. There are some deals on Ebay and they deliver from UK so I'll have a look there. I'm not in any great hurry and would prefer to wait until the price came closer to the €500 mark.

As Davy said... chinese company.
Here's a current thread about them:

I'd suggest checking out a few price comparison sites such as:
http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod1018.html

or Pricerunner:
http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/pl/29-1224007/Digital-Cameras/Canon-EOS-500D-Black-18-55mm-Lens-Kit-Compare-Prices
They show up on pricerunner but the negative reviews would suggest to steer clear

Thanks CH30H.
I had never heard of that site before but it's very interesting and certainly very informative on Wolu - to be avoided at all costs, definitely.
I have been checking some of the price comparison sites - which is where I met Wolu - and will continue to do so.
Thanks for your help.
