Gold coast store?

Has anyone had anything to do with Gold Coast Store, its obviously a Australian front for a overseas supplier, seem like good prices and they offer a free 3 year Mack warranty with camera purchases?
The Mack warranties, has anyone had to use one, they seem to have agents around Aust?

Cheers Rob

I bought a D3 from this mob, a bit over twelve months ago. It was a good price, but although they stated delivery in five to seven days, it took about four weeks. I was just about to go to the US, and it arrived just before I left. There was a stuff up with the warranty, and it didn't arrive for about another month. A few weeks after my return home from America, I was looking at the number of photos I had taken, and found the copy count on the camera was about 1000 more than I had taken. All reference to Gold cost store had disappeared from the purchase site, so could not contact them. I couldn't even leave any feedback. The camera was fine, and still working like a charm.

don't know the shop, have you looked at d-d-photographics.com.au? I've used them and always had good service.

Just got one for a lens of mine. I was talking to Mack at the recent PMA show in Sydney. He said that they are using Canon and Nikon to do their repair work here in Australia.
