AUSold me on free DHL Express Courier delivery then sent by post! I bought from Citiwide Online and free DHL Express delivery was offered on the auction. I bought it based on this as I needed the item quickly. Then they sent a "DHL" tracking number that DHL didn't recognise. When I queried it they said it was a postal tracking number, not DHL. I asked them to refund the difference in what it would have cost them to send via DHL instead of post, and their answer was "there is not extra cost charge for the DHL service". What weasels... since they don't charge extra for express international courier, they don't have to refund anything if they don't provide it? I don't think so! I'll be opening a formal eBay dispute.

AUWarranty Waste of Money Bought a Panasonic Lumix ts3 in Jan 2012 used it a couple of times diving was OK , went snorkeling on the barrier reef and noticed moisture in the lense. Contacted "Mackcam" told me to send to an approved repairer, come back "USER ERROR" . they would not cover the damage. Camera is now scrap after only 3 months, panasonic Australia will not repair as it is imported. Wrote to "CITIWIDE" about purchasing a replacment ........ no reply. When you purchase from them you have no choice as to the MACKCAM warranty, it is a given. I have since found it is cheaper to buy in Australia as the warranty is in the price of the item. I

AUWorst Ever I don't think that I can adequately express how disappointed I am with Citiwide. Their payment system was easy, but everything past that point was extremely poor. Delivery was delayed and not all products ordered were delivered. To make matter worse, I ordered a 'waterproof' camera which failed on its very first use. The camera was sent back using the warranty stystem only to have both citiwide and Canon refuse the warranty! I am now out of pocket and have no camera to show for it. Their communication through this process was extremely poor. Citiwide are based in Hong Kong, a point they conveniently forget to mention. They use this to their advantage and hide behind this. English communication is extremely poor. They have NO customer service skills whatsoever. I can not possibly be more disapointed with Citiwide. Quite simply the worst customer experience ever!!!

AUbuy somewhere else I received my 'waterproof' camera and straight away realised it was slowly letting in water. I wrote to them and after sending it off for testing and months of waiting i was told it was not a manufacturer fault and they would not cover it in their warranty. The camera was leaking from the moment it touched water! Their warranty is a scam, spend a few more dollars to buy off a decent company.

AUbuyer beware BUYER BEWARE. BUYER BEWARE.... I just received my fuji s3300, it arrived DEAD ON ARRIVAL. its taken 3 days to get an email response, I have even sent them an email with a 2 minute video showing what is happening to the camera and the response was what batteries am i using? well I replied that i'm using the batteries they supplied with the camera. Yes the batteries are ok I've checked them. Then another 30 hours of waiting for a reply and i received an email asking if i am i putting in the batteries correctly and am i following the instruction book properly. What am i a three year old? I'm not holding out on their warranty which is supposed to be door to door pick up, at this rate it will take 3 weeks for a courier to arrive, and then they will probably say its not a manufacturing fault, AND THEN I'LL BE $90 OUT OF POCKET FOR POSTAGE COSTS.I thought i was buying from an Australian company as they have a .com.au web address, but it turn out they are Hong Kong based, I dont know how my consumer rights will go as they aren't Australian. I wish i had googled their name prior to my purchase. i wont be recommending them to anyone i know.......
