Anyone dealt with Brentview Cameraworld before? http://brentviewcameraworld.com/

They state on their web site that everything they sell "..is brand new with full manufacturer's warranty." Not exactly sure what they mean by that. Could still be grey market products, no? They don't seem to be authorised Nikon/Canon resellers.
 
Well the Nikon 600mm f4 lens is R40 000 cheaper than other shops here in SA (normally about R100k they selling for R60k). You can't get that lens for that price even at B&H in the USA. I don't know what to think, I dont trust this.
 
Nothing about that site screams legit.
 
I'd stay clear - looks US based.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM BRENTVIEW CAMERA WORLD.

They are the most incompetent and clueless company in existing - and I am not exaggerating. I have ordered and paid for a camera and lens on 9 October 2013. Despite their bogus claims of that they have stock on hand, they informed me that they were out of stock and the items will be send from their “UK” branch. Aparently the items arrived at OR Tambo Airport on the 11 October 2013 and was apparently held back by Customs as Brentview Camera World did not pay any import duties.

Customs then discovered that were additional cameras, lenses and iPhones in the package (which I did not order); so I had to pay the duty for everything – R8 500.00 To me it seems like Brentview Camera World is committing import fraud…

However, then BrentView Camera World informed their currier (Wayround Delivery Express – Another bunch of useless and incompetent people) to hold the package back as all the items shouldn’t be delivered to me. It is now more than a week since my order and still I haven’t received the camera and lens I have ordered.

Old scam
Who did you pay the so called duties to?
You probably got scammed there as well, double whammy sadly.
The courier will also be fake.
 
The address of that business is one I recognize from other scams in the past.
 
Sheesh I want one at that price...
Probably get a legit box with an oven door inside
