Greetings and welcome!!

Whilst I have not bought anything from you yet Mr. Poon, a lot of the many D70 forum members have and they are smiling very happily indeed. :D

I hope your stay here is very enjoyable and that you get to meet many of the D70 members.

Today's weather in Syd is looking very Melbourney, but I hope that doesn't put him off...

Welcome to Sydney - hope this trip isn't all business and you get to sightsee and relax and do some touristy things Mr Poon!

Only joking Mr Poon, we know you wouldn't do anything like that :)

Hello Mr.Poon!
Thankyou for running such a sweet enterprise. Many a retailer could take a lesson from you

I am currently dealing with Poon all the way from Canada. His prices beat anything I can find here! I'll keep you all posted as there are North Americans like me popping up here every now and again. Man am I excited.

I would also like to welcome Mr Poon to Australia.

I have purchased from HKSupplies via Birddog a 'GITZO' G-1327 tripod and 70-200VR.
Both were excellent value for money and received in good order and condition. Good transit time and easy to trace from dispatch to delivery through FedEx and better still 'NO GST'.


Cheers,
fozzie

Of course not, "$80" tripods and "$100" lenses don't attract GST. ;)

All,

I'm here at Birddog's, with Glen, Poon, and of course, Birddog.

We've all just had a wonderful meal, courtesy of Mrs Birddog (the hospitality here is amazing) and enjoyed some great company.

Poon is indeed a gentleman, and I'm sure that all who meet him tomorrow will be suitably impressed.

And thank you, again, Birddog for the exceptional hospitality.

You are a most welcome addition to our forum. :D
Although I will not have the opportunity to meet you, as I live in Adelaide. I have purchased several products from you via our 'Patron' Birddog and have been very pleased with the whole process. Money saved will allow me and other members to purchase other products in our quest for excellence.


Cheers,

I would like to add my greetings Mr Poon - I have benefited from your service via Birddog, and I suspect it won't be too long before I am at it again!

Welcome to Australia and have a great night tomorrow night. I wish I was there in person

cheers
