Faultless experience. Yes, they are massively cheaper. Delivered in perfect condition within 5 working days. UK plug as well, plus their own three year guarantee. Absolute no brainer to buy from HDEW.... See more

Saw them advertised on Instagram

Saw them advertised on Instagram, had a look at the website, and saw a fantastic deal. Phoned and spoke to a very informative gentleman who understood my needs for a certain type of camera. Ordered over the phone, arrived a week later which was the only downside. Maybe the delivery can be sped up in future??

I ordered a Canon 800mm F11 lens from…

I ordered a Canon 800mm F11 lens from HDEW Cameras. The cost of the item was lower than many other sellers and the website was easy to use.

Due to some extra 'weighing up' of a lens to buy, I ordered the item quite close to a trip we were doing the following week and I hoped I'd have the lens in time. After ordering the item I emailed the company to ask when likely despatch/delivery was and they were quick to respond to my query with likely delivery date.

There was in the end a slight delay in despatch (not surprising as supply chains are difficult at the moment) but in the end the lens arrived in time for my trip. The packaging of the item was excellent and the courier used was fast.

Great service all round. I've really enjoyed the new Canon lens and would have no hesitation in using HDEW cameras again.

May The Force Be With (H)DEW

I see HDEW are currently addressing the immediate thoughts of 99% of potential buyers in their advertising - "That price can't be right!!"

It's a canny marketing approach, because that's exactly what I thought too, but as I and many others have found out, you can believe the hype.

I've bought from here a couple of times now, but my most recent experience went above and beyond. I used an email discount code I'd been sent, but on checking out I realised I'd failed to notice a great big banner on the home page with a bigger discount. I emailed HDEW pleading my stupidity and they refunded me the extra discount amount. Now THAT is what you want your customer service to look like.

Delivery of my most recent lens was exactly 7 days from ordering and, keep this quiet, but despite not official being recognised for UK cashback promo's, I tried my my luck with the manufacturer anyway and even got the cashback. This brought the eventual price down to less than 1/3 of the UK RRP for the lens. Gotta be in it to win it, right?

Very happy customer.

Excellent and helpful company, with a phone line too!

Had a question to ask about the camera I wanted to purchase, made phone call to Hdew and spoke to a helpful young lady who answered my question.
Purchased the camera at a very competitive price, it was dispatched promptly and well packaged. Hdew are an excellent company to do business with, this is the second time I’ve used them and will be using their services again in the near future.

First time purchasing - excellent

First time purchasing after finding a very competitive price for new IPad.
Did some research and feeling satisfied they could be trusted with online purchasing.
As others reviews have identified it comes with a USA charging plug along with UK comparable one. I’m not sure why people are concerned about that, it’s a genuine Apple IPad.
Delivery was fantastic, day of ordering I rang to check when to expect it, assured me was in stock and would post for delivery the next day.
The pricing was excellent and it’s good to support small businesses. Highly recommend.

Novice camera buyer

As a complete novice, I chose the Olympus camera from HDEW cameras.

After several no doubt amateurish questions that I asked, the responses were almost immediate and informative.

I would have no hesitation in recommending HDEW and Harry in particular.
