Of online retailers and brick and mortar camera stores
Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 04:48PM In order to keep my photography business going, I need to purchase a decent amount of gear. And I expect my gear to fail from time to time, which also increases the frequency of my purchases. So what is better for me, a discount online retailer or somebody that I can call by name on the phone? For my larger purchases, I rely on Hunt's Photo. Gary Farber has been taking care of my needs for a while now, and he always comes through when I need something in a hurry or when I am away from home.
Have you ever tried to make a purchase online from a box-pusher, and have the delivery made to you at a motel in the middle of Utah? That will never happen, because of how those types of relationships work. Yes, the prices are often less expensive, but in the end does it really pay? For me the answer is no, but for your own needs the answer might be different.
If you need good service, try giving Gary at Hunt's a call. (800) 221-1830 x2332. Or email him at digitalguygary@wbhunt.com. A great guy, and always happy to help out. I know this sounds like a commercial, but it is true.
