Pricewatch Deals / Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark III Body for $2599 via eBay
« on: December 08, 2012, 06:03:47 PM »
Received the 5d mark iii from them day before yesterday, which I ordered on black friday for $2499. Would give them a mixed review.
I called them shortly after ordering to ask if I could change the shipping address, which they said they couldn't do. At that point I asked them to ship it to the original address, and hung up. Two weeks later and still no sign of the camera, so I call them. They say that they hadn't shipped it still due to having placed the order on hold, apologized, and promised that the item would be delivered with a day or two. I also asked them to be sure to use a shipping method with signature confirmation.
When the item was delivered the next day, it was by "UPS Ground" and was left by our front-door, unattended.
So I got a great deal, but it required an extra phone call, and it could have turned out badly.
