Product is great - arrived from HK. But works perfectly and at a very reasonable price vs other retailers. I took 1-star away because it took much longer to ship than I expected - almost 3 weeks after... See more

Very good price. Goods delivered on schedule.
I was very happy in my dealings with York lenses. All products are really well-priced and delivery was as promised.

I liked the way you kept on top of the shipping it kept me aware of where my package was and when it would arrive
Great pricing.
Products were first rate and the pricing the best I found. The 0-2 days to ship listed on the website was inaccurate. I ordered on a Friday it took 7 days to be prepared to ship and another 6 days to arrive in Toronto. Allow extended delivery time when ordering.
Much appreciated.
Quick
Although it came from China, my lens was at my door within a few days. I’ve started taking pictures with it and it’s simply amazing.

The product is great
The product is great. The customer service is quick and efficient. The problem that i face every time ordering with them is shipping. The shipping system is very unreliable. If you are buying for your project that are on the clock, then don’t. But if you have sufficient time, then this is the camera guy’s heaven. Overall it’s great. Great prices. Gord and Tracy are awesome.
Great lens for photography
Great lens for photography
But delivery time is not acceptable as l track the order it’s taking 5 days to pick up by fedex even more after placing order
Quality lens without breaking the bank
Very smooth and fast transaction
Don't be in a hurry
Don't be in a hurry, as it took me more than 14 days to receive my order. It was worth the 650$ I saved though. I emailed them and received great customer support.
Excellent service.
Price was great and service.
I bought a TZ99
I bought a TZ99. It took 18 days from pre-order to receipt, as it was shipped from Hong Kong. The process was relatively smooth. The camera arrived brand new with a seal. FedEx gave the estimated delivery date quite late, so you need to be patient during this time. I inquired again on the last day and received a quick reply. The service was excellent! Their prices are lower than others, and if you understand the whole process and are patient, you can save some money. Through this buying experience, I believe we've built trust.
Easy Order
Easy to order. Goods were pristine and as expected. Shipment was very good, although the time to receive the order was slightly longer than expected.
What I received was not expected
What I received was not expected. Not compilant. I wrote about this but received no answer.
The price is very reasonable
The price is very reasonable. The lens was made in Japan with very good quality. Communication and service is good. Timely delivery updates on my order. Shipping time is longer than big companies but it is worth the wait. I would purchase from this business again.
Good place to get a new gear
This is another review since I got separate order and shipment. If you want a new cameras and lenses, this is the place to shop. There are some negative reviews out there which make people nervous about this company. However if you have little patience and not in rush, just place order and wait. You will not be disappointed. My communication with customer service was fast and pleasant.
Great experience, I'd buy again.
Bought 3 Canon C80 cameras from York Lenses. Was concerned because of other reviews but the price was worth giving them a shot. The cameras arrived in about 12 days from ordering. Yes direct from overseas, but came with adapters for the Euro wall plug which was nice. Everything else is as it should be. There was zero difference except that I saved almost $2000 per camera over buying elsewhere. I haven't used their warranty service but at this point I would certainly buy from them again. If you want to save big money and don't mind waiting a few days more to receive product York Lenses is great.
