Buying Epic or Scarlet in the UK

[Steve Phillipps]

If buying the camera from the UK can I get it direct from the London office? Is there a UK pricelist and stock availability? This would make things s lot easier. Excuse my ignorance but I didn't even know there was a London office until just now!

You'll buy from REDEurope.

They're based in Pinewood Studios (closer to Slough than London - LOL) - I used to work at Pinewood myself.

UK prices are plus VAT and also have duty/import costs added to them (as you would have if you imported them yourself).

best thing is to decide what you want and then contact REL (REDEurope Ltd) and get a quote from them - you'll then have exact pricing.

Thanks Andy, so there's no RedEurope website, just email or 'phone. Do they keep stock of cameras and equipment?

http://www.red.com/service_centers - yes, just this for now - I figure there'll be a REL site at some point.

They have a rolling delivery of stock from RED.

It's very easy dealing with the guys there. I ordered my Stage4 at Xmas and most of it arrived mid Feb. That was when backorders of bodies was a lot wilder than now. I'd presume there'll be a quick turnaround as we're 7 months down the line and RED's no longer as back order prone

Just place the order on line - don't try and make any payment, just keep going and complete the order. You will receive a confirmation e-mail with the dollar prices, but RED Europe will then follow up with a UK pro - forma invoice very shortly afterwards.

Thanks, and do you keep stock, if not what sort of delivery times are we talking for standard items like brains, EVFs etc.?

So, for Europeans, there is still not a way to pay directly in Euros, you pay for the dollar-pounds and then pounds-euros conversion ?

Other question : where are the Scarlets repaired ? In Europe and do they have to be sent back in the USA ?

 

[Steve Phillipps]

No, from what Alan says, you get an invoice in £ Euros etc.

Stocks look pretty good as I had my scarlet delivered (3 weeks ago) within 48 hours of wiring the money. You can talk to Sam. He is really helpful.
