Buying Cameras With Purchase Order

I need to buy a few cameras for a school photo club. Unfortunately we can only pay by purchase order and most places don't seem to accept it.

I reckon a few Fuji s5700s would be a good buy. Any other suggestions?

Anyone know where we can get them from?

Also try Dabs and Misco; both accept POs.

All you need to do is for the school to open a business account with pc world
takes about a day then you can simply give them a purchase order from the school and bobs your uncle

I can vouch for both PC World Business and Misco when it comes to PO's - used both through my account managers there, very simple to sort out.

Cheers. Not cheap though. £110 excluding VAT. I've been given a budget of circa £200 for 3 cameras.

£85 inc VAT for a refurb direct from Fuji.
