Just ordered 24-70 from warehouse express as they are doing a £50 off voucher code for selected Nikon lenses. (WEX50NIKON)
Has anyone had dealings with SRS microsystems as they have the best price for the D700 £1676 inc delivery.
Have been tracking prices since Christmas and i cannot see it coming down much more even if the rumour mill has a D800 on its way and i dont want more than 12 million pixels as my pc will start coughing.

SRS are a great company to deal with - they specialise in Pentax and go the extra mile over warranty etc. I've also bought Nikon stuff from them in the past - next day delivery and no problems.

I placed my order with SRS  and they have failed on next day delivery and also failed on giving the correct information in their emails. I had an email this morning confirming that the camera was dispatched yesterday for delivery today. This afternoon I have had an email from PARCELFORCE informing me they are picking it up today for delivery tomorrow. My learning from this is that the cheapest price does always deliver the best service and outcome which is a shame for SRS as they seem to have a good reputation on the PENTAX forum. I would have been far happier to have been told the truth  >:(

Warehouse Express on the other hand delivered the lens at 10.30 this morning so its a :tup: for them.

UPDATE just had apology email from SRS getting the delivery "dispatched" status wrong at least they follow up on emails quick.

Well you can only go on personal experience and the feedback of others ::) I've found with any company it's probably best to phone to confirm availability, dispatch etc. even if you then order through the website. I've probably ordered from SRS 4 or 5 times and every time the item has been delivered next day - with email confirmation. I suppose every company can make the odd error but I know how frustrating waiting for a parcel that does'nt arrive can be! :'(

it's even worse when you have the lens and no where to stick it  ;D well not entirely true, tried it on my D80 and when people say invest in glass i can see exactly what they mean.
