This is a feedback for member vneevarp or Praveen Vijayan. This relates to his sale thread
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=10879.msg108060#msg108060
I purchased the Tamron 18-200 lens from him from a friend. Praveen took three days of pain to search for a suitable means to send the lens down to West Bengal. We finally decided on our good ol' Speedpost. I asked him to get it ready to ship, while I arranged to transfer the money to him. I could not do the transfer on Friday due to the bank strike but Praveen shipped out the lens without confirmation about receipt of money. Such trustfulness is really overwhelming. He even sent me images of the packing he had done. The item was thoroughly well packed and took some time to unpack  >:( 
The lens, though 3 years old, does not look so and has been beautifully maintained. Overall a very pleasing experience.
Would recommend Praveen to any prospective buyers blindfold.

We've (actually my BIL) got the other part of that sale i.e. 350D camera. Praveen is a nice gentleman and we really had a nice time talking to him when we went to see the camera.  Everything went smooth and it was really nice meeting you Praveen.

I purchased a 55-200 VR recently from J Prakash (jaypee) of Bijapur... thorough gentleman. 

He was upfront about the smallest detail, and spent more than a week trying to get the warranty card stamped for the dealer when he noticed that the stamp was missing!

Finally, when the lens arrived, it was packed tremendously well and had everything that was promised in immaculate condition.  Even though I'd wired the money to his account a few days ago, JP waited a couple of days till I'd tested the lens at my end, before withdrawing the funds!!!

People like him make me keep coming back to the forum...

ThanQ Naveenji for your kind words about me. I am very thankful for your patience  allowing sufficient time to keep my assurance.  For me money is the not important. It was the belief and confidence of a JJMF Member. Though I was  technical person of telecom sector, I was a student of photography and  the magic box (Camera). I have learnt several things about DSLR and photography.

Similarly I have purchased Nikon 18-135mm Lens from Sri Soumyajit Niyogi of Mumbai. This was also a smooth deal and I was quite happy about the lens and its condition.

I thank you Naveen, Soumyajit and other guys on this occasion.

Had a excellent experience dealing with Sachin (username : Sachn) for a sigma lens..

While the deal was quite slow/long0 due to bit busyness (or say laziness) on my side, once the payment was done lens was shipped same day...

and Wohaaa!!! what a packing dude.. I bet he can do packing job at BHphoto on part time basis :P (Sorry, if it was bad joke).. guess lens got bullet proof in that packing, so that it can ever surpass the blasts which take place in Mumbai every other day :P
got the lens in less then 48hrs via blue dart (not to forget, there are no free lunches, so charges was also high for that fast and safe shipping)

Lens appears to be in excellent condition... Not used much though, but looks like will be having a great experience with this gem.. :)

Hey just came across your post. Thanks for the feedback though i must give you credit too for working around the limitations i had w.r.t. payment etc. also the deal took quite a while to go through but ended well... Anyways i am glad you are happy with the lens and ya it was packed like that cause i am never comfortable shipping a lens or body.
BTW B&H declined my application  ;)

I have got a chance to do a deal with Mr.Roger H. Ephraim. I bought the Nikon D90 from him in the first week of Aug. After seeing my WTB post for either Nikon D3100 or 51000, he contacted me by mail with the details as per this post http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=11505.msg114981#msg114981

I gave a try, we discussed and agreed to a price and place to meet. As confirmed, we had several sms communication and I met him in a place in b/w my residence and his. After meeting him I bought his D90 along with accessories and box, the only thing to hand over was the original bill which was in his office cupboard, for which he confirmed to send me a courier on next day itself.

As I was not financially prepared to buy a d90. He agreed to take 90% amount now and the rest in Sep first week and handed over all the stuffs to me. As Roger confirmed he sent me a scanned copy of the original bill on Monday morning and dispatched the courier on evening itself, which I received on Tuesday evening.

As a committed member of jjmf, I have transferred the pending amount to Roger before two weeks of committed date and Roger confirmed the receipt. So the deal is over now and I would say, its was a friendly deal, which was so smooth and nicely taken care.

Thanks Roger for your cooperation and understanding...hope you are happy to have the deal with me...
