    they don't do paypal? I'd think that a company like Chamonix would at least use paypal, or some sort of credit card processing online software.

    I bought a reducing back through Hugo last August. The transaction went smoothly - the back arrived sooner than I expected, well-packed and in good condition, and communication from Hugo was excellent throughout.

    I bought my camera from Hugo and used Pay Pal. No problems.

    I think they use paypal , but not credit card this a fairly big order so 4% on top is about an extra $140 , I have never wired money o/s before so not sure of any fees . Cheers Gary

    Fantastically smoothly. Seriously: if he says he has it, he is ready to ship. Pretty sure my money crossed paths with my camera.

    Thanks David, I was just being a cautious Nellie, At no stage of my dealings with Hugo have i had any reason to doubt his integrity, Just wanted to check with people who had dealings with the company for general feedback . Cheers Gary

    I would be remiss if I didn't add to the praise and commendations of Hugo! He is a 100% stand-up guy, who understands photographers' needs and goes to great lengths to accommodate. An exemplary, first-class individual! You have nothing to worry about!
    When I was 16 I thought my father the stupidest man in the world; when I reached 21, I was astounded by how much he had learned in just 5 years!

    Have dealt with Hugo, and everything went very smoothly. He stands behind what he sells, and has taken excellent post-sale care of me.
