Philly 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 Information

We 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 Us

We 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.

Email

As 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, we are available through the contact information on our website.

Best Offers

Our 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:

1. 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.
2. 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 Shipping

The 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 Terms

All items must be paid for in five days unless prior arrangements have been made.

We accept and prefer PayPal, the online payment system but we also accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and other forms of payment that eBay prohibits listing here. Email for details.

Philly Photo Supply reserves the right to refuse certain types of payment if we feel it is in our best interests to do so. A buyer is still required to complete a transaction with some other mutually acceptable means of payment should we refuse to accept an invalid payment type.

We cannot emphasize enough that these types of problems can all be avoided by asking questions before bidding.

PayPal Payments

We will refuse or refund any PayPal payments that are not protected by the PayPal Seller Protection program.

Credit Card Payments

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. You will be directed to PayPal (we process our credit cards through PayPal) where you can pay directly with your credit card. Items paid for by credit card will only be shipped to the billing address of the credit card and a signature is required upon delivery on items over $250.00US.

Returns

Buyer must obtain authorization prior to returning an item and ship the item back to us within 7 days of receipt of the authorization. Items returned to us without authorization or more than 10 days from issuance of the return authorization will be refused and returned to the buyer at the buyers expense.

Returned items will be inspected upon return and should the item be incomplete, show signs of use, exhibit damage, contain stains or odors from cigarettes the item will be returned to the buyer at the buyers expense. Items returned with missing packaging or accessories maybe assessed a restocking charge.

Feedback Policy

As a seller on eBay, we understand first hand the importance of feedback. We have been selling on eBay for over 10 years and we have always left feedback for our buyers, always, regardless of whether or not feedback has been left by the buyer. Our primary concerns are shipping your order accurately and fast, maintaining sufficient inventory to meet the needs of our customers, and insuring that our listings are both accurate and priced competitively. Beyond that, we get to feedback when we have the spare time to do it. Please be assured we will leave feedback. Do not send emails requesting feedback, as this generate the same response as above and will only clog up our in-box even more.

International Shipping

We participate in the eBay Global Shipping Program
Learn about the eBay Global Shipping Program

Many items shipped overseas by Philly Photo Supply are packed in irregular sized containers due to their shape and size. 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. Our Handling Fee includes some or all the following costs: insurance coverage, cost of packing materials, postage service fees, pick up fees, and preparation of documentation.

Customs and Import Taxes

Importation of items from another country can cause significant delays in the arrival of your item. We will can give the approximate shipping times for the arrival of your item but these do not allow for delays by customs officials in both the US and at the final destination. 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.
