    Bit of a surprise to me.

    If anyone deserves to go down it's Ted's, in my opinion. Had great experiences with Gerry Gibbs (only made 1 order though). I thought with the crappy AUD things would be better for the local retailers since imports are not very enticing for Joe User & Josephine User.

    But I guess there is a general sales slump in cameras (?) especially with phones eating in to the low-end of the market (?) or is there something else going on?

    • BargainKen on 07/08/2016 - 09:08

      I was thinking Gerry Harvey actually if anyone deserves to close down

      • cheepwun on 07/08/2016 - 09:37

        My experience with Ted's was terrible and they are a specialist camera retailer, so I was thinking of dedicated camera retailers. But yes, good point.

    • cainn on 07/08/2016 - 13:42

      My local Ted's has never failed to price match when I've asked. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. They've never given me any trouble whatsoever when I've had legitimate cause to return a product as per their 14 day exchange guarantee. And although I primarily deal with one local store, I've done business with a couple of other stores in my area and have had much the same experience.

      So I feel compelled to ask: why do they deserve to go down?

      I'd be quite disappointed if they did.

      • cheepwun on 07/08/2016 - 16:03

        So I feel compelled to ask: why do they deserve to go down?

        My Ted's online experience was beyond terrible. I also prefer to give business to those shops who don't insist on going through the camera box before you take delivery. And also those shops who offer competitive prices. Ted's rarely do.

        • cainn on 07/08/2016 - 17:59

          If we're going by reports of terrible online experiences then just about every company in existence deserves to go down. Really. Do enough business and something is going to go wrong for someone eventually, and not just once. I'm sorry it happened to you, but I bet the same thing has happened to someone else at some other store that has been good to you.

          As for price, like I said Ted's have never failed to match or beat a competitors* price whenever I've asked. And it's always been a pleasant and casual exchange because they actually invite price match requests, both in store and online.

          (*retailers carrying Australian stock with official local warranties)

          Having said all that I know what it's like to have a terrible experience and be left with a bad taste in your mouth. There's an emotional component that is beyond explaining away. But having done a lot of business with Ted's over the years I guess I feel they've earned a few balancing comments from me.

        • cheepwun on 10/08/2016 - 11:15

          @cainn:
          When I say "beyond terrible" I mean "beyond terrible". If I told you you'd be shocked, but I'd rather not get into it now. Plus the fact that they rarely initiate competitive pricing means they don't deserve my custom. Any store can price-match if they want. I haven't had "beyond terrible" experiences with any other vendor and I have had years of experience buying camera gear.

          All it took was ONE online order from Ted's (on 2 low-priced items; they weren't even cameras).

  • lgacb08 on 06/08/2016 - 11:18

    some good deals, but expect website will crash soon.

      it is certainly being tested:)

  • JetBombat on 06/08/2016 - 11:26

    Who's going to cover replacement if something is wrong?

    • Associatednick coulson @ Gerry Gibbs Camera Warehouse on 06/08/2016 - 11:30

      warranties are with wholesalers EG: you would send it to canon, nikon service center ….but it is all Australian stock not factory seconds from HK

      • JetBombat on 06/08/2016 - 11:34

        If it is damaged during shipping I doubt canon or nikon would jump in

    Prices on the website do not include GST (added at the checkout).

    • Associatednick coulson @ Gerry Gibbs Camera Warehouse on 06/08/2016 - 11:31

          GST and Surcharges: is Delivery and GST combined. GST is in the website price, but delivery is added at the checkout.

    • Vladdo on 06/08/2016 - 12:53

      GST is included in the price.. it's the 3% credit card fee which is a lot! Then again, it's cheap insurance if things go pear-shaped..

    The 3‰ credit card surcharge is a deal breaker. I wouldn't chance it with direct deposit with the company going under.

          Its linked in my first post above. http://www.panasonic.com/au/promotions/latest-promotions/bon…

          It says "Hurry in store to purchase a selected LUMIX G camera between 15/7/16 & 31/8/16.

          @nick coulson:

          Is that a yes, you get the free 25mm? Because nowhere on the site or in cart does it mention this.

          Or just yes to Smackus, that the link says "available in store"

          No, the cashback is from panasonic.

  • CyberMurning on 06/08/2016 - 12:30

    So why the website can't mark items as sold out when the last stock has been successfully checked out by a buyer? So the website just static not counting stocks in real time?

    • Associatednick coulson @ Gerry Gibbs Camera Warehouse on 06/08/2016 - 12:43

      they can and they will but by the time they get to your order it may have been sold downstairs instore

      • tap on 06/08/2016 - 13:28

        When closing down, or similar sales pop up here, that's when my savings suffer. As you said, there are two cameras (an entry level DSLR and a compact digital camera) that are sitting in their respective bags that I haven't used more than once since I bought them on similar sales posted here. That's money I could've used for something else, so I learned my lesson. No more impulse buying (well, at least I am trying). :)
