Quickshop.....any good??

Anyone had experience with this online shop, based up on the NSW central coast?
Seeing as I can't purchase my 500 f/4 VR from here, I'm looking at this place.
Any help gladly appreciated.

Cheers
Marc

Took your advice Glen, and found just enough info to steer well away. They claimed they had it in stock, when of course they didn't! As a lot of online camera retailers are guilty of. :evil:
I managed to track down a demo via Adorama in the US and will pay around A$1000 more, but peace of mind that it will delivered tomorrow. :D
..............Now to sell my 200-400VR to fund the beast.

Cheers

Congrats on the purchase Marc, to be honest $1k is reasonable insurance and when all is said and done you may have been comparing against a price which wouldn't have been honoured.
