A reputable place to buy a battery grip, any suggestions?

[Mixedcolors34]

I need to buy a BG-E8 battery grip for my canon t2i. B&H doesn't sell the one I need. As much as I love Amazon.com I've heard to many horror stories of people buying things from there that turned out to be duds. Does anyone shop at a particular online store that is good? A cheaper price on the pack would be nice, I don't have money to spend 200 bucks at the canon store.

I spend almost $1000 a month with Amazon, and have yet to see lemon. I have prime and I only order directly from amazon fulfillment or those with high ratings. You can try adorama.com or kh.com

Don't know about Canon, but the aftermarket Nikon grip that I bought is awesome, and was under fifty bucks. Amazon and Adorama has them. It's held up to many all-day shooting gigs for commercial clients.

I have bought several things from Adorama. Not once has there been any problem.

I've also had good luck with Amazon.

As for aftermarket battery grips in general, I've bought one each for four different Canon cameras. Three worked perfectly. One had the 1/4" 20 screw break loose from the grip but stay stuck in the camera. Now the grip is permanently attached, until I decide to hacksaw it off.

Everything techs and household stuff. I am stopping my Amazon crave lol yea. I realized I spent a bit too much. But other than groceries, 80% stuff is ordered via amazon.
