The shop is from hong kong. I usually recommend buying from USA sellers, the china ones can be kinda sketch.

yeah I noticed that. It's give or take. If the product works fine then all is well. If you have to return it prepare for hell.

I just purchased my Tamron 17-50 non-VC from a Hong Kong dealer. I'm very new to using DSLRs and filming, but the lens seems to work great and it came in a legit Tamron box w/ warranty. This one doesn't seem like a great deal bc you pay $30 shipping, but just to let people know, I ordered mine Tuesday night, and it ended up coming on Thursday afternoon, which was amazing. Just do some research and be a smart online buyer!

Digital Work International was the seller. Here's a listing of the Tamron for $345
