AUSold me on free DHL Express Courier delivery then sent by post! I bought from Citiwide Online and free DHL Express delivery was offered on the auction. I bought it based on this as I needed the item quickly. Then they sent a "DHL" tracking number that DHL didn't recognise. When I queried it they said it was a postal tracking number, not DHL. I asked them to refund the difference in what it would have cost them to send via DHL instead of post, and their answer was "there is not extra cost charge for the DHL service". What weasels... since they don't charge extra for express international courier, they don't have to refund anything if they don't provide it? I don't think so! I'll be opening a formal eBay dispute.

AUWorst Ever I don't think that I can adequately express how disappointed I am with Citiwide. Their payment system was easy, but everything past that point was extremely poor. Delivery was delayed and not all products ordered were delivered. To make matter worse, I ordered a 'waterproof' camera which failed on its very first use. The camera was sent back using the warranty stystem only to have both citiwide and Canon refuse the warranty! I am now out of pocket and have no camera to show for it. Their communication through this process was extremely poor. Citiwide are based in Hong Kong, a point they conveniently forget to mention. They use this to their advantage and hide behind this. English communication is extremely poor. They have NO customer service skills whatsoever. I can not possibly be more disapointed with Citiwide. Quite simply the worst customer experience ever!!!

AUbuy somewhere else I received my 'waterproof' camera and straight away realised it was slowly letting in water. I wrote to them and after sending it off for testing and months of waiting i was told it was not a manufacturer fault and they would not cover it in their warranty. The camera was leaking from the moment it touched water! Their warranty is a scam, spend a few more dollars to buy off a decent company.

AUVERY "POOR" QUALITY PRODUCTS AND EVEN "POORER" CUSTOMER SERVICE Bought a Canon G12 some months ago that arrived without a converter... They said they would send me some gifts to apologise!? When I emailed just asking for the money I out layed for the converter got no response!? Some weeks later the crappy SD card they sent chipped while putting it in to my pc so is no longer readable!? I emailed and asked for it to be replaced but again to no avail!? They make out like they do good deals but don’t! They send out "made in china" rubbish accessories that break soon as you touch them and then back it all up with the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!

AUWarranty Waste of Money Bought a Panasonic Lumix ts3 in Jan 2012 used it a couple of times diving was OK , went snorkeling on the barrier reef and noticed moisture in the lense. Contacted "Mackcam" told me to send to an approved repairer, come back "USER ERROR" . they would not cover the damage. Camera is now scrap after only 3 months, panasonic Australia will not repair as it is imported. Wrote to "CITIWIDE" about purchasing a replacment ........ no reply. When you purchase from them you have no choice as to the MACKCAM warranty, it is a given. I have since found it is cheaper to buy in Australia as the warranty is in the price of the item. I
