    Bitesizedeals ... good experiences anyone?

    I'm considering the purchase of a Canon EF 180mm f/3.5 USM Macro lens from www.bitesizedeals.co.uk where it is currently on offer for £999 delivered. Before I surrender my card details, has anyone got any experiences to relate concerning this supplier (good or bad)? They've only been in business since 2006 and appear to be registered in USA. However, when it comes to warranties they state that they will undertake to reimburse all postage costs in both directions.

    Comments anyone?

    If it was my money I wouldn't. The terms state they are not liable for taxes, but the site indicates the price you see is what you pay. As it's £200 cheaper than any other UK seller it looks like a import without duty/vat added.

    A big thank you to Roger_Provins for revealing the Review Centre ... I've not seen this site before, but I shall certainly be avoiding bitesizedeals!!

    completely AWFUL. cancelled order 6 weeks ago and they still havent refunded me. They said it would take up to 30 days but now they are ignoring my emails. STAY AWAY is my advice.
