Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 384 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the excellent prices, often noting that they are significantly lower than other retailers, allowing them to purchase high-quality products that might otherwise be out of budget. Many people are satisfied with the product quality, confirming that items arrive in pristine condition and function as expected. The delivery service is also consistently highlighted as efficient, with many orders arriving within or even sooner than the estimated timeframe, often well-packaged and secure. However, some customers also noted that delivery times could be long, with some experiencing significant delays and a lack of tracking information for extended periods. A few people reported receiving products in unsealed or used-looking packaging, or with minor issues like an empty battery, raising concerns about whether the items were genuinely new.

Canon RF 100-500 f/4,5-7,1 L IS USM lens

After the Canon R3, I purchased a Canon RF 100-500 f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens. Everything was perfect, too, from the communication to the shipping, which was always timely and on time. Now I need to put my credit card on hold and then I'll make other purchases.

100% Cotswold glory

Not sure where to start...
Amazing people to deal with. Straight out with details from enquiries right through to updates on tracking orders. The crew have been so helpfull and quick to reply to my questions about equipment.
As I've upgraded from dslr to mirrorless I've found my purchases through Cotswold Camera's to be nothing less than outstanding.
Every aspect of my deallings with them has been remarkable. Quality products and as for delivery of lenses, camera and accessories its been a true pleasure.
Looking forward to my next lens order already, nifty 50 or 70-200..mmm. R5 mark ii needs a brother...R6 mark iii might be next too.

A wonderful experience

The shopping experience on this online shop was very intuitive and simple. The prices are truly competitive. But the customer service experience truly exceeded my expectations: they handled every request with extreme care and expertise. The support is distinguished by its kindness and friendliness. I highly recommend it and thank everyone for the wonderful service.

First experience with Cotswold Camera

First experience with Cotswold Camera. They delivered on time as promised (10-15 business days), and within 10 business days, the package was well packaged and the contents were in perfect condition.
I subsequently placed a new order and am awaiting receipt.

This was my first buying experience…

This was my first buying experience with them. I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger. And reviews, like mine, helped me trust them. I am glad I did.
I bought two lenses for my Sony a7 and the whole process went smooth. Purchased them on Jan 23rd and I received them in Spain on Feb 9th.
Nicely packaged, they arrived in perfect new condition.
No extra costs and the communication via email with updates on the process was very appreciated.
I would trust them again in my photo needs. Thank you

Excelent pricing and no problems at all…

Excelent pricing and no problems at all with the delivery process. Not the fastest in the world, but good enough in this regard. The lenses I bought came perfectly and the customer support answered quicky when I asked for the delivery time.
