Well they are based in france.

I bought a digi camera from them and the battery charger had a european plug on it...but they sent me a free adapter so it was all good.

Good prices and decent service....what else can you want?

I've bought a couple of bits from them. Quick delivery and good prices, no complaints from me.

Depends what you're buying. When the the product is from a well known manufacturer that sells worldwide, with the instructions in English and a standard, who cares what market it was meant for. All my products have arrived with UK spec power sources. Is a camera that was originally meant for sale in France any different to a UK one for example, or do they all smell of garlic or something?

no, but having to find a UK plug adapter or another power lead isn;t worth saving a tenner, to me anyway, plus i'd rather buy from somewhere like ebuyer or dabs because i've had to return several items, for varying reasons, and it's always been quick and painless

justy my opinion, doesn't mean it's the right one, even though it is...

Only slightly, the UK market only had a choice of 2 colours and i wanted the other colour so since the charger transforms the 240v anyways what was the problem?

And it was cheaper then the UK spec items i could find here so it was a win/win all round.
