wkcrs (HK) experience?

[MT4]

Hello,
I wonder whether you people have any experience with wkcrs in HK.
Apprently their mamiya 7ii & lenses prices seems to be reasonable in comparison to other sources in the web.

Couple of friends have ordered from them w/o problem.
Mamiya USA (NJ) will repair, but not honor non-US warranty. Just like Nikon etc.

Unless something has changed, the last time I read MAC (Mamiya US) stated they would not honor non-US purchased warranties nor would repair them. This goes for Nikon US. You'd better check to see if they would perform repairs if you need them.

Also check to see if you need to pay customs on this purchase. It might make it cost more than the trouble is worth.

Both have repaired non-US items for me multiple times w/o problem. It is one of the common interweb myths that they don't. Yet whenever it comes down to it, it is people how heard about it who make the claim, not those who actually had a repair rejected.

You are correct that they do not honor the warranty, just as I stated.

Also, there is no custom tax in the US on cameras bought abroad, there is a small (1.3% ?) on lenses.
