I have tried in many sites but there is no option UK in the shipping address country's list. Please help.. thanks, srikanth Too many variables... Some sellers will certainly ship outside the USA, others no. Additionally, some cameras must be bought in the country where they will be shipped for the warranty to be valid. Your best bet may be to contact the sales department of the seller with the specific camera you're interested in. Many sellers work on commission, and will bend over backward to sell you (that is, earn a paycheck!) whatever you want. If you have a friend in the USA, why not buy it and give your friend's address as the 'ship-to' address, then your friend could ship it to you in the UK? US Postal Service Priority Mail might add a week and $15 or so to the price, depending on what you are buying. Check out www.usps.com , Priority Mail Flat rate International. |

But you will be charged VAT (and maybe other local taxes) when it arrives. If it's a new camera, the warrantee won't be valid in your country. Except for used/antique cameras, you are almost always better off buying locally. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

Cameras are a lost leader at most camera stores. The profit margin is very slim. I would not send anything like that Postal mail without being fully insured. -- Reality is a picture perfected and never looking back. |
