Recommended Mail Order Companies

[willawake]

I started using more overseas mail order companies for difficult to find parts. So lets start a thread of recommendations or not for vendors.

(no capacitor or motherboard repair companies in USA/Canada as per forum rules)

Vendors I have personal experience with

MDS Battery (UK) Ltd. - London UK Recommended
http://www.mdsbattery.co.uk
Offers replacement batteries for all types of goods. I have bought several laptop batteries for obsolete Sony and HP and they have been of ENERGY+ brand. Exact replicas of the manufacturers batteries. fast order processing and fast shipping by UPS every time.

Computer Computer Ltd. - London UK Recommended
http://www.com-com.co.uk/
Excellent for server / laserjet parts that you want asap. Nice online quote/email system, Good comms, prices good, shipping was expensive.

Crucial Technology - East Kilbride UK Recommended
http://www.crucial.com/eu/
I use them for laptop memory sodimms which i need asap. They offer Crucial Brand which is Micron Technologies chips. fast shipping and difficult to find parts available.

Weather Front - Eastbourne UK Recommended
http://www.ukweathershop.co.uk/
Sells weather monitoring equipment. I bought my BC-900 / RS-900 battery charger there. Online ordering like it should be : order received then order shipped a few hours later.

Digitalwonderworld Handels GmbH - Adelebsen, Germany
http://www.digiwowo.com/
Digital Camera equipment. The prices are good and the products are not Grey Market, they come with EU guarantee. My order took 1 month to arrive after some exchanges of communication. Comms is ok like 24hrs. I didnt know their previous company bankrupted leaving some people having paid for orders and not receiving them. I will keep them in mind for future but presently trying another vendor.

Vendors I plan on purchasing from

Micro-Tools Europe GmbH - Ochtrup, Germany
http://www.micro-tools.de/
Sells camera repair equipment including a full range of practically all the DSLR sensor cleaning products.

Re: Recommended Mail Order Companies

I've bought new Li-Ion battery (DR-202 replacement) for my notebook at http://www.eurobatteries.com/ - it's 5400mAh and now it runs for 4.5 hours (in Linux) (DTK FortisPro TOP-5A, Pentium 166MMX, 80MB RAM, Hitachi 40GB 5400RPM)

Re: Recommended Mail Order Companies

I was about to add :

http://www.cameraworld.co.uk from UK which came recommended. But with quotation for shipping a lens, flash, filters (about 1kg) from uk to greece = $138 shipping gives me the idea their good prices are supported by the excessive shipping costs.

Re: Recommended Mail Order Companies

This one is not a mail order company. But i was looking for a good camera shop in Athens which sold equipment with european warranty and not grey market. I found this one which is great, lots of stock of SLR and DSLR products. Good for tourists also cos they speak english.
