I've seen quite a few US-only deals, like the D2000, that are much more expensive in Europe. Did anyone buy through ShopUSA.com (or maybe from some similar site?). Even with shipping and import tax included, I would almost cut a third from the price I pay over here. But is it safe to buy through them? Did anyone try that out? For the D2000 the price would be somewhat lower than import from pricejapan.

Most importantly of course, will ShopUSA also refuse to forward an US-only deal?

(sorry if this is in the wrong forum... feel free to move it if so)

nobody? I thought a lot of people would shop using something like this...

I bought my hd650 from pixmania.com
no import taxes and shipping is reasonable and fast.
The price were a little higher than on amazon, but still way lower than any of the local shops sells them (600-700$)

Pixmaina is just one store, shopusa lets you buy from any us seller.
Still no one who has tried them out?

 

[DefectiveAudioComponent]

I suppose that nobody has tried them then. Maybe I should not try them out either in that case.

read other peoples opinions online. a google search should come up with reviews on it.

 

[DefectiveAudioComponent]

Sure, but I prefer to hear opinions from people who have tried to buy similar items to the ones I am considering.

 

[G-man]

fair enough. but, if you are not comfortable worth buying from them, dont. think of it this way, if you get it in your country its easier to do anything in terms of warranty etc.

Ah, is that like a pricejapan but for the US? With the current exchange rates, I'm surprised there aren't a lot of sites like this. I know a lot of Germans who buy their cameras and laptops when they visit the US, even though they'll have to change the power cords and put up with the wrong language keyboards. Here's to international commerce!

That's exactly what it is. They charge a lot for the transaction, but it is still worth it, if it works.

Seems to be slightly cheaper, too. Where do you find the popularity rating?

 

[TheNew007]

there are more google searches on myus than shopusa.
thelettercarrier also seems respectable, though i'm not sure whether they ship to europe
