Did you look at Robert White in the UK ?
If you do a search on the forum... you'll see lots and lots of very positive comments about Jeff at Badger Graphics.
Another great seller is Jim at Midwest Photo.
Both of these sellers have stellar reputations for both knowledge and service. You can't really go wrong in your dealings with Jim or Jeff.
Cheers
Life in the fast lane!
Badger is a reputable seller, you have no reason to be concerned.
Like Kerry and Bruce, I have bought a lot of gear from Badger over many years. Along with Jim at Midwest, Jeff at Badger is one of the nicest and most knowledgable folks in the LF retail business. Great people to do business with.
I'm also in the UK, have ordered from Badger 3 times albeit for delivery within the US. The invoice arrived to my UK address 3 days after the order, couldn't be happier with the company.
OTOH, if you are buying to the UK then you will be paying shipping and VAT which can add up. Robert White do not feature the camera on their website anymore (just the 8X10) and they are the sole importer so you may not have a choice anymore.
I would like to say a big thank you to all who have responded so far to my question; it would seem that I do not have to worry about Badger.
The amount of responses I have had so quickly have taken me by suprise, as I am used to waiting (sometimes days), when using my digital forums.
Once again...Thanks
Chris.
Chris, I'm in the UK too, and I have obtained several items direct from Badger in the past 5 years. As the others have said, his service is excellent. Ben is right with the markup you are likely to experience! Not only shipping but a handling charge (even with Royal Mail), import duty, and VAT on top of the lot. Then the bank charge on the transfer or however you choose to pay. I usually budget for the extras totalling 25% more than the cost of the item plus shipping, and I'm happy if it turns out to be less!
