Is it safe to bring a camera back from Japan?

In my previous company, there were always companies organizing trips to Japan. Many people spent a lot of money to buy parallel imports and brought them back. They and the other parties also ruthlessly preyed on Chinese tourists. It’s cheaper to ship it back yourself than it is to have the dealer ship it back and sell it to you.

As for the quality, the place of origin is the same and the quality is the same, but you don’t have a warranty, which is actually equivalent to spending 1/3 more cost.

If you are buying an old film camera, you have a chance to find a model that is difficult to find in China and in good condition. As for the price and quality, it is hard to say. It depends on luck. There are too many uncertain factors. Others The successful experience has no reference value.

The most troublesome thing is the person who helps you take care of you. The trouble you cause to them far outweighs the money you save. Maybe you don’t take it seriously, maybe they are embarrassed to tell you, and they have to bear the extra burden. Economic and reputational risks arising from transportation damage and quality defects.

It’s not worth the little money you “maybe” save.
