I'm forever the price shopper and spend hours online every day.
My latest hunt for a bargain on a canon T3i took me to First class camera. (firstclasscamera.com). There all there stuff is brand new and has the 1 year USA warranty.
I am looking to buy the T3i with a 28-200 f3.5-4-5. for $659.00. I believe this is truly a good deal! Any comments?

My mistake, the lens is a 18-200 f3.5-6.5 for $659.
I couldn't log on to that link for the site. I'm wary. It seems like something called "classy" never is, "reliable" never is, and so on...
AWith some of these outfits, even if you get it in writing, it isn't enough.
No doubt you googled them, as did I. There is nada--either good or bad there, and that's a flag--a big red one! IMHO.
Best,
Terry
BTW, you want a "USA <name of company>factory warranty" not a "USA warranty" which can be aftermarket,. Not necessarily bad, but not "factory" either. The merchandise is often grey market.
Something too good, etc. usually is: stick with B&H, Adorama and other known reliable outfits. You'll be a lot happier.
I never heard of that seller. Looking at that deal they do not specifically state what that lens is, and you can not click on it to find out.
There is little chance it is Canon's EF-S 18-200 lens as that lens is close to $600 on it's own.
That place has some very odd package deals listed.
If it were me I would spend the extra $100 or whatever it took and buy from a reputable source such as Amazon or B&H.
Don't do it!! After reviewing the site, there prices are way below what Canon, Nikon, and other makers allow their "authorized" stores to publish and sell their products at. This site is more than likely a scam, in my opinion.
Also, what SwampGator said is true, they have some bizzare packages put together.
I, myself, would not take a chance with these guys.
It also does not look like these guys are authorized dealers for any brand of camera.
I just checked resellerratings.com and they are not listed, which would indicate to me STAY AWAY!!

I carn't give you the link at the moment cause im using my ph, but goggle....e globle, its a USA site and i live in austraila and payed $300 postage and still saved over $1000 on my camera and lenses.
They also try to add things when you buy. They will make up the cost difference one way or another before you finish your transaction.
Not sure but I did buy a T3i Bundle from Amazon.com. I gave alot more for it but I also got more. (1149.00)

No, but I've never had bad experiences with B&H and Adorama. Both often will include shipping unless you "need it yesterday" :)
I'd say you answered your own question. If I feel I need to ask someone about a site to buy from then I know not to buy from them! Go to names you trust, Amazon, B&H, Rockler (woodworking) etc.

They are a bad company to do business with.they don't have a space for your security number on your credit card.They send you an email on the pretence to get your security number.Then they try to sell you stuff.If it's a camera purchase they try to sell you accessories,that come with the camera.

I have purchased several items from ebay and have been pleased with every purchase. Type into the search area the lens you want I expect that someone will have it at a reasonable price. Be sure to check the condition description and review the rating assigned to the seller by ebay and also set up a pay pal account. Be careful where you put your credit card number. Good luck.
