First experience with this buyer was excellent. Delivery time was short despite possible cargo delays due to wars. Product status tested fine both in macro and normal use. Great performance with ori... See more

Happy with the purchase
They said the delivery is within 10 to 15 working days and mine arrived the 10th day. The box was open, but everything was there and everything seemed new. The camera works perfectly, but the battery arrived empty (this isn’t great for the battery health).
I sent a mail to check if the camera will arrive on time and the answer was clear, fast and polite. I do recommend over other options “Marketplace” type.
Amazing service, great prices
Ordered a camera from them for a great price. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Amazing service, highly recommend!
Amazing online camera shop
Amazing online shop, bought my a6700 and sigma lens from them. No issues at all, great customer support. Will certainly order from them again.

I would not not hesitate to recommend Cotswoldcameras.

I ordered a Nikon Tc1.4 and it arrived very well packaged! Thank you for that! If I need any camera accessories in the future, I will definitely think of Cotswold Cameras EU!
perfect service

Excellent shopping experience!
Excellent shopping experience!
My order arrived safely and in perfect condition — everything was brand new and fully functional. I’m very happy with my purchase.
The only minor issue was the delivery time. I paid on February 19, and the order arrived on March 13. However, this is really insignificant compared to the great price I got for my camera — it was an amazing deal.
Special thanks to the team for their professional support both during the purchase and throughout the delivery process. They were always responsive and helpful with any questions.
Highly recommended — 100%!
Great impression from the purchase
Happy I found this store: great prices, decent communication, clear explanations, and high-quality gear. Despite the situation in the Middle East, the package was delivered within 14 working days as promised.

Was kinda skeptical at first because the prices are a lot cheaper. But decided to place an order for a FX3A anyway. It arrived faster than I expected, took about a week. No complaints will probably order some lenses as well at some point from them.
They responded well…
They responded well to any questions I had and the purchases arrived quickly. Thanks
Great Service
Great Service, they even checked the batch for German menu language and kept me informed that this may add 2 days more to the delivery time. Nevertheless, delivery was around 10 days, so the shortest promised time and German menu option is existing in my new Canon EOS R6.

The lense was much cheaper than anywhere...
The lense I bought was much cheaper than anywhere else, so I felt as I was taking some risk with the order. Decided to go on with the cheapest of the items I needed. But everything was perfect - the lense arrived brand new, in an original box. The delivery did take over 2 weeks, but I was informed about it so I was not worried. I am planning to buy more expensive lense now.
Really professional and informative…
Really professional and informative company to deal with. Always keeping the customer in the loop. The prices are excellent too. Highly recommend this company.
Honestly! The best purchasing experience ever.
Honestly, I can not think of anything in the process that did not meet my expectations. I had some initial mail correspondence with them, which they politely and promptly replied to. The ordering and payment process was easy and worked flawlessly. I received my purchase within the promised delivery time. The product was in pristine condition and exactly as ordered.
Didn't go super smooth but it was a happy ending.
After ordering I had the understanding that they will mark the order as dispatched when the shipment was sent from their warehouse overseas, but that's not the case. The status will only change after it is shipped from their warehouse in Europe.
I contacted for clarification and honestly whilst they were very quick and friendly to respond. The responses were not very clear and I'm guessing there's some language barrier there. They made a big effort none the less so kudos.
My package (Z5ii and 2 lenses) arrived within the promised delivery window and everything was in order. So I will definitely buy from them again.

Found a camera on Cotswoldcameras for…
Found a camera on Cotswoldcameras for my daughter after multiple local suppliers were out of stock. The cost was competitive (ish) verses competitors and they had availability. Ordering was simple and a change in colour required contact with customer services which was an absolute pleasure. Quick courteous response to my query and solved quickly. My only issue is that the time for delivery was very very long in a time when next day or next week at worst is normal. If you guys could improve this, I dont see a reason to go anywhere else for my photographic needs. Thank again
