"This company sold the 'Get your money back' experience extremely well, however reality is a different story.
Don't bother trying to call them as their phones are permanently engaged... even at 11pm at night. They don't respond to any emails. I don't even believe they have even attempted to reclaim my money from my customer.
This company will take your money and you ill never hear from them again.
Avoid at all costs!!!"
"I am very satisfied about the service and the comprehension of this seller. The E-Mail-correspondence with EDC very good, they could answer my questions very soon. The lenses arrived in good condition and were well packed. I would buy again."
"I am very impressed about the service of this sellers. They have been very patient (I was really scared to buy such a expensive lens in Hong Kong) and they answered to all my numerous questions. They also helped me a lot to find the right solution for me and, although I had to pay custom fees and German taxes, the cost of the lens was 250 € less then the cheapest price in Germany (350 less then the normal price). The lens arrived in Berlin in four days and it was in perfect conditions!

"I bougt a Canon package, including an 2,8/70-200 IS USM L lens, 2,8/16-35 USM L lens and the speedlite EX 550. The price was perfectly cheap, the service was great. I received the package within two weeks after our first contact an one week after the payment. The correspondence with EDC by E-Mail was great, they answered every question very soon. I recommended them in the German powershot forum of Canon users."
"Purchased Canon 1Ds and three zoom lenses plus flash. I am totally satisfied with the quality of their service. They have been very professional throughout, with good communication and attention to detail. They have been very reliable and would do business with them any time. Thanks."
"I purchased a digital camera (Sigma SD9) not available in the USA. It took 4 days to ship it. The email to the company stopped working during that time for a day, so I started to worry, but everything turned out OK. Camera was shipped with non-US electrical plug; otherwise everything was fine. "

Good deal and good price also. I would recommend this company to anyone."
"Great serivce I would highly recommend. They delivered as promised on time. I found them through ebay, andI checked them out throught associates in Hong Kong. Bonafide business small scale, but good to deal with great communication. Although I dont think they speak English!
I purchased a Nikeon D100 and accessories to the value of US$ 3500.00. I will use them again."
"We purchased a Canon EOS 1D digital camera kit with EF 16-35 f2.8L lens from the EDC Group. Overall, the EDC Group was very good seller. The EDC Group provided excellent communications and prompt replies to all questions. And overall, we saved several hundred dollars on this purchase and received an item that many United States professionals are on waiting lists for from US retailers. The price was excellent and the service was excellent, and shipping from their end was quickly made.
However, I must list a few problems encountered in the buying process. Our package was valued at over $6000 in US currency, and was therefore subject to US Customs import restrictions. Apparently, any package valued at over $2000 is subject to these restrictions (according to the documentation sent to us by the US Customs Service). Thus, US Customs intercepted the package and would not allow delivery until we had arranged with a Customhouse Broker to make formal entry for the package on our behalf into the United States. Since the package was valued at over $2000, we were viewed as “importers” in the eyes of the US Customs Service. Because we were unfamiliar with formal entry process, there was a delay of approximately two weeks before delivery of the items could be completed. The package was in California and we had to deal with it via a Houston, Texas, Customs Broker who could handle details on our behalf. Total additional costs of approximately $250 were added to our package by virtue of paying the Customhouse Broker's fees and US Customs duties. However, even after paying these fees, our overall package price for the items purchased was still several hundred dollars less than we would have paid if using a US retailer. Again, this overall formal entry process added about two extra weeks to the overall delivery time required. It could have been completed more quickly, but we were not at all familiar with the process to expedite the formal entry (as most standard buyers would probably also not be familiar).
One shortcoming of this item once delivered (the EOS 1D camera) was that all hardcopy literature was in Japanese (the user's manual and all additional paperwork). The EDC group courteously provided us with a compact disk (CD) containing the English versions of the manuals, but as many users know, it can be very difficult to learn how to use such a complex camera without hardcopy manuals on hand to use for reference. We were, of course, able to print out the User’s Manual and Software Manual (each book more than 150 pages), but pages printed from a printer are not anywhere near as convenient as the original manuals.
I wish to reiterate that the experience dealing with the EDC Group was overall very good, but the glitches introduced in having to deal with the US Customs Service (brought on by the overall value of the package) were a real pain. All this being said, I would (and most likely will) use the EDC group again in the future.

"Excellent response to questions and fast and efficient order processing and shipping. Fulfilled all prmises made for order and shipping."
"I did ordered a camera from EDC Group that I could not find yet in the USA. I got good response to my emails and the camera shipped quickly to be there in a week time despite the 4th of July. Well done EDC!"
"I do not recall such positive service for a long time!
This company is the best seller i ever had. I bought a Dimage 7i from them without a single phone call. Money was wired directly to their bank account with no fear. Fast comunication, fast delivery (overseas 2 days),
Very polite & patient. They will answer all of your questions. Their prices are competitive.
It was a real pleasure to buy from them. I have a full confidence to buy any time in the future from EDC-GROUP."
"Purchased Minolta's 7i and I am very happy with the support that I received from EDC-Group. Would love to see this kind of support after the sale in US companies. On a scale of 1-10 they are a solid 10!!"
