I think our feedback shows we have accomplished this. We thank the thousands of customers that have helped us reach this milestone and hope that we can continue to serve the eBay community for many years to come.The Philly Photo PromiseWe do not sell any products that we would not use ourselves. We are photographers first and retailers second. We primarily sell what we know; photographic equipment! We thoroughly examine and try out every piece of equipment before adding it to our assortment of quality products. Our aim is to sell you the item that will solve your problem and not just another box of stuff. You can buy with confidence that you will spend your hard earned money on quality items that are backed by our outstanding feedback, excellent customer service, top notch pre and post sales support and over 30 years of photographic experience.Authorized DealerPhilly Photo Supply is a fully authorized agent for every brand we sell. We buy directly from each authorized vendor and provide full factory warranties for each and every product we sell. We do not sell "gray market", counterfeit, or unauthorized copies of any product. You can rest assured that your new product is an original manufacturer supplied product supplied in it's original packaging with original factory warranty. No ifs, ands, or buts!Contact InformationWe at Philly Photo Supply are accessible through just about every communication medium available today. We actively harness the technology of the web to open the lines of communication to our customers around the world. Our aim is to answer your questions instantly.Contact UsWe are located in the Eastern Time zone of the US (GMT-5). Our normal hours of operation are weekdays from 10AM to 5PM ET. Please consider this carefully before calling or expecting a fast answer to an email.EmailAs required by new eBay regulations, for your safety and security, we request that you contact us through the eBay message system. For situations that require a faster response or lengthy conversations that are not suited well for emails contact us by telephone. Further contact information and social media links are available at our website.Store PoliciesBest OffersOur aim to is to give every buyer the best value we can and make a reasonable profit. We are a profit making company and not a charity. We cannot continue to offer our low prices and great service if we give our merchandise away. We only decline offers that do not make sense (cents) for us to accept.For us best value is not just the lowest price on eBay, but the best overall value of product price, free goods - if offered, shipping price, our super fast shipping and Top Seller customer service. When you compare our offer to other sellers, compare the total package!Philly Photo uses the Best Offers feature for several specific reasons:eBay allows us to offer Free Shipping to US buyers but this puts international buyers at an unfair disadvantage since we must always pay shipping. We feel this is unfair, therefore we use Best Offer so that international buyers get the same discount given to US buyers for the free shipping. US buyers should be aware that we will often decline their offers because the free shipping is the Best Offer available for that item. This is often the case with items under $100 or items shipped to the west coast.Many suppliers require that we post a fixed Minimum Advertised Price. For these suppliers we use the Best Offer feature so that you can purchase the item at a discounted price. In many cases we also offer free goods or free shipping on these items. US buyers need to calculate the free shipping as part of the discount, since we are paying the shipping. Depending on the offer, we will also not include any free items with Best Offers.We carefully analyze each and every offer to see if it makes sense for us to make the deal and we really want every sale we can get.Free ShippingThe truth about "free" shipping, not surprisingly, is that it is not really free. UPS, FedEx, and the US Postal Service do not deliver packages for free. When anyone offers free shipping it means you, the buyer, are not paying for shipping but the seller is. Since there is a cost to this, it ultimately affects the discounted price of the products we offer and how we calculate best offers. With lower priced items (items under $50) there are times when the cost of shipping exceeds the amount we would allow for a discount.OUR BUSINESS IS NOT TO MAKE A PROFIT FROM SHIPPING!We also shop on eBay and hate high shipping fees. We would not think of doing this to others. We charge a fair price over the actual shipping cost to cover our supplies, gas to and from the post office, UPS etc.We will try to give our customers a choice of cheap or fast shipping. We have not found any reliable company that is both fast and cheap! Either way the choice is totally yours.Payment TermsAll items must be paid for in five days unless prior arrangements have been made.

These items are not oversized by U S Postal Service standards, but are considered oversized by some foreign postal carriers and can incur additional handling charges upon final delivery. These charges are added by the courier and not Philly Photo. The size of these items sometimes prevents us from combining items into one order.Per new eBay seller rules, shipping insurance is the responsibility of the Seller and the actual insurance amount has been included in the Handling Fee.

Please consider this in your expectations for travel time and in leaving appropriate feedback. We will remove any feedback that refers to slow shipping caused by customs delays.Most foreign countries impose a duty, customs charge or value added tax on items shipped from the US. This charge is added by the shipping company, not us, and collected at delivery. This money is collected by your government and none of it comes to us. Please check with YOUR postal or customs authorities to determine the amount and reporting requirements. We have a difficult time understanding our own tax system and we have absolutely no desire to figure out the customs of the 50 or so other countries we ship to.We will not under-value or declare items as a gift on customs forms to enable the avoidance of customs fees. This is against US and international Postal Regulations.We accept no responsibility, financially or legally, for any customs duty or VAT charged to items upon final delivery. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. We will remove any feedback that refers to unfair customs charges.
