Hi Guys,

Any suggestion?

if ur keen can let me know in advance, looking at small stuff only namely, the commanders, triggers, transmitter, flash tubes and modeling lamp ONLY

and if u don trust me about how to split among the cost of the shipments
pls get it yourself :)

and actually u guys can get softboxes from any brands like jinbei, elichrome or korean brand like formex

Is it worthwhile to buy alienbees when we are in singapore? The americans buy because its a good deal for them. Are we better off sticking to bowens and elinchromes?
 

In short, YES it is. For the einsteins.

The things that bought me over despite expensive freight and no repair centres is becuz of 640ws to abt 1/16 of ure speedlight. From being able to overpower the sun to balance light in indoors. Motion freezing flashes better than some of the best brands. Very light. The vb mini pack is light too!

Well you can see from the increasing number of users whether it is worth it anot.

good news for those who want to own PCB lights :)
esp NEW International Customers

New International Customers:
While we cannot ship orders outside of the U.S. and Canada for new international customers, we will allow new customers located outside of the U.S. and Canada to order from us using a freight forwarding service based in the United States.
When using a freight forwarding service, equipment that has been ordered and purchased is shipped from our headquarters to the location of the freight forwarder, and the customer is then responsible for all fees and taxes/duties to have the equipment shipped to their location from the freight forwarder.

What is a freight forwarder? A freight forwarder is a company that organizes shipments to get products from the manufacturer to a customer. In this case, a freight forwarder can be used to ship our products from the U.S. to your international location.
Freight forwarders may also be referred to as forwarding agents, personal shoppers, and shipping agents.
New international customers will need to find and select their own freight forwarding service. We require the service to be located in the United States.
New international customers will be required to pay via wire transfer. No other forms of payment will be accepted. In addition to the total charge for the order, you will be responsible for any wire transfer fees that may be imposed by the bank.
Please contact us for details, price quotes, and ordering.
Shipments to a freight forwarder require a signature for delivery.
The customer will be responsible for this $5.00 signature requirement fee.
Paul C. Buff, Inc.™ reserves the right to refuse sales to any new international customers in the event that fraud is suspected.


International Warranty Information:
International Customers who originally placed their order from us or from PCB Europe or PCB Australia can go through us for repairs and service (whether warranty or non-warranty), though all shipping costs to and from our offices will be the obligation of the customer.

NOTICE! PCB Europe / PCB Australia (1st Line Digital Pty Ltd / 1st Line Europe Ltd) and Gotham Audio (Switzerland) are no longer authorized to represent Paul C. Buff, Inc.™ and sales from these companies are not recognized as authorized sales. Equipment sold by any company or entity outside of Paul C. Buff, Inc.™ may not be covered under warranty.

Email i received from PCB aussie

We are writing to you as a past purchaser of Paul C Buff Studio Lighting from 1st Line Digital Pty Ltd to let you know about a change to sales, service & repair arrangements for Paul C Buff Studio Lighting products from 31st March 2014.

We have been the Authorised Partner For Paul C Buff for the past 5 years and it is with great regret that our agreement with Paul has ended.
Our partner agreement will end on the 31st March 2014.

Rest Assured.

At 1st Line Digital we value your business and realise that these new arrangements may cause you some inconvenience. Therefore, although we are no longer able to repair your equipment locally, we will do everything in our power to help all customers that have purchased a Paul C Buff unit from us whilst your equipment is being repaired.
 

most importantly will this be cheaper?
 

when i buy via a 3rd party courier
+ shipping (from pcb to courier + courier to SG)
+ gst
+ covert to SGD
> still cheaper than Aussie pricing ...

and now when i can order direct from pcb
what makes u think is more expensive?
i now need to check bank TT rates + fee when i am free

warranty wise, i used my current lights for 2yrs
no issues at all
looking to add more lights after sorting out details with pcb crew :)

There is a possible local supply source for Alienbees, soon. Ordering direct is also a possibility; it just the warranty is a bummer - pay for freight both ways.
