Pay a little extra for peace of mind?

Yeah, they are based in Clitheroe, Lancashire bout 4 miles from my front door.

I've used them for all our camera based stuff, cameras, video cams, leads, memory cards etc. And they have always been very helpfull and give their *unbiased* (as far as I can tell)opinion on things (IIRC the owner also runs local camera club, although I might have made that bit up)! Give them a ring I'm sure they'll be happy to offer advice.

They had a retail shop in town until about 2yrs ago, but now operate from an out of town industrial unit and sell predominantly over the internet.

Benji from STW used to work at the shop, I believe.

Bought some stuff from them, they were fine.

Do people generally have bad experiences with online retailers? I can't think of any I've had!

You should read some of the camera forums of people complaining that the "bargain" price they paid for item X was bumped up by import taxes, or that the it was a scam and the item never arrived...
