I see a lot of members who take very nice pictures and have seen a few nice cameras mentioned. I was wondering if any of you folks could tell me if there are any online vendors that do free (or very low cost) international shipping like Banggood, Fasttech, or DX who sell mid quality camera (DSLR) accessories like bags, tripods, flashes. I don’t live in the states right now so unfortunately Amazon is not an option.
There are plenty of online vendors to buy your gear from, how ever if you buy your camera/lens internationally it is known as ‘Grey market’, it is not illegal but not only will there be no warranty, both Nikon and Canon (and probably more) will not service or repair it or let their authorized repairers do it, and they will not sell their parts to authorized repairers either, so if it breaks :cry:
Having said that all the camera/lenses I have had were all grey market, just factor in the risk against cost savings if you do.

For that very reason, I was only intending on buying accessories for my camera. I buy my lenses from local certified dealers because of that warranty issue. So which sites do you buy from that offer free international shipping? I’m looking for choices in tripods bags.
No particular vendor, usually I use Ebay, and for the more expensive stuff I make sure that the seller has been around for a while, has sold plenty in the price range and has at least a 99.5 rating, for cheaper things I just make sure they have been around for a while and has a rating of over 98.5, in other words use some cation 
Having said that I have just bought a monopod + bag from TomTop, through Ebay not their site so if any problems I let Ebay sort it, and had no problems at all.
