Where are Shen-Hao in Bejing ?

[Alexz]

I'll be heading to Bejing next week for abot a week stay.
Would like to exploit the opportunity to buy the bag bellows for my Shen 4x5 (and probably few lens boards and bellows hood). Can't get to Shen-Hao web site for some weird reason, so asking your help here.
Does anybody know whether (and where) Shen representative and sales are in Bejing and how to contact them ?

Thanks in advance, Alex

Thanks.
Can you probably recommend one (or two) of these in particular ?
Or probably it would be better to call them (say, to ask my hotel's lobby to call them and inquire in chinese whether the shops have the stuff in stock to be picked up instantly) ?

You could email Mr Li and ask which store is closest to your hotel? I recently bought a camera direct and email correspondence in English was OK and responses received within 24 hours.

 

[Alexz]

Yes, indeed. Just emailed to Mr. Li inquiring about availability of the things in the stock.
Thanks, Alex

Hey, Alex, if you didn't get the information you require I suggest you contact Joyce at Seagull Trading Company in Shanghai. She sold me my Shen-Hao 4x5 and her service was fast and excellent, and the same prices as the factory. In addition, her English is very good. I am sure she'd be happy to help hook you up with a store in Beijing.

Thank you guys.
It seems the situation has changed, I'll not be flying there, my wife will do on her own. In light if this I'm thinking to try to arrange the purchase in the way that I would get in touch with one of these sellers in Beijing, pay online (credit card) and they would deliver the goods to the hotel in which my wife will stay.
So far I contacted Mr. Li and Joyce as you advised - neither replied so far...

You will have a hard time getting anyone in China other than an actual hotel to accept credit cards. When I spoke to both Mr. Li and Ms. Chen, they indicated that the way to buy a Shen Hao camera from them was to wire transfer the funds, and then they would ship the camera. The retailer in Beijing who handles Shen Hao products might very well be willing to deliver to your wife's hotel, but would probably expect cash payment. For things like the bag bellows and lensboards, you may be just as well off ordering from Badger, Midwest or The View Camera Store... I don't think their prices are that huge a savings on the little stuff.

Xmm, you're probably right, perhaps I would better to stick with Badger instead will saving me the hassle of trying to get things organized remotely....
