Anyone ordered from these guys yet? There's not much about them on Google, just a mention (by someone from Panamoz) that they opened shop on 26th November this year. Some of their prices are incredible, I'm wondering if they are selling grey market stuff or if it is just a straight-up scam .

From their T&C

Quote:
Some products come with Japanese or Hong Kong warranty cards, customers are required to provide us with these cards when repair is required. Lens dust and LCD dead pixels will not be considered as fault, therefore products cannot be returned for any of these reasons. Returns for any other reason other than a fault will not be accepted.
Looks potentially grey to me.

Thanks Mike. I looked all over their damn website for a FAQ or something! I also tried putting something in the basket and going through checkout as I was wondering if they would add on VAT later to make up for the low price. They didn't add any VAT at all, so grey market looks more and more likely.

On the other hand, if they are shipping from the UK and we can avoid duty ... Hmmm
