I ordered a Nikon D7500 with professional bundle. The camera is good and came with a lot of accessories but they were all made by Ultimaxx which cannot be classed as professional! They are good eno... See more

Company details

  1. Camera Store

Written by the company

In 2002, SLR Hut’s founders began offering professional camera and camcorder equipment for sale locally in a retail store. Sales quickly expanded online and offerings were being made globally. Despite the extremely large consumer base that was built up since 2002, they noticed that most people around the world that are in the market for professional camera and camcorder equipment were not getting very good prices. These same products that our Founders were offering to their local market were being sold in the UK and other parts of the world at prices 20% - 40% higher due to manufacturers demanding MSRP pricing, enforced MAP policies with authorized retailers and currency exchange rates. The question was asked, why should consumers have to pay MSRP with such a high markup? Why can't we sell at wholesale price points to the general public? The answer was simple; WE CAN, and WE WILL. The burden of researching each corner of this global market was now placed onto their shoulders. Finally, they had figured it out, since the internet has made this world a smaller place to live and since e-commerce is a global playing field, we followed suit and quickly expand globally, from being one of our nation’s largest online supplier of consumer electronics, to being one of the world’s largest consumer electronics e-tailers. With our founders now focused in on the United Kingdom as their target market, SLRHut.co.uk was born and our brand, dedicated to a UK customer base began to build. We have massive warehouses which are always fully stocked, we also have close ties with manufacturers and distributors worldwide and are ready to fulfill your every need quickly and seamlessly.

Great service

I was interested in purchasing a OM System TG6 underwater camera but ended up purchasing the newer version TG7 bundle. Henry was incredibly helpful during the decision process, ordering and paying was very easy and I was kept informed of the progress of the parcel at all stages. The box arrived safely and when I opened it I found that everything was well packaged and was in perfect condition. The bundle was excellent value and I was quite surprised at how much I got for my money. The camera itself is everything I had hoped it would be and was does everything I’d been told it would do, so I’m loving it. I am more than happy to recommend SLRhut for purchases.

Avoid

Paid for 2-3 day express delivery - received an email to confirm it will take 1 week. Emailed, no response. Called, spoke to someone who would call me back, but no response. Called back again today, waited 20 minutes, but nobody answered. Poor!

Absolute clowns

Absolute clowns. Ordered a camera advertised as "in stock". A week later, after ignoring 2 emails, I spoke to them and was told it was not in stock at all. They lure in customers with attractive pricing for products they don't have. Despite the London number and co.uk address, they are also not even a UK based company. Misleading and unprofessional. I have ordered the camera elsewhere and will be suing them for breach of contract (the difference in price).

Very prompt service

Very prompt service. However, I thought the packaging of the OEM box was poor, with virtually no packing between the outer carton and OEM box. The lens had broken loose and there was vey slight damage to the mount sealing ring

Nearly perfect!

Shipping was broadly within the period promised and I was advised that the product was being shipped from USA. This meant that the charger does not have a UK socket plus and the only alternative was a car (Cigar outlet) charger, which is not much use. 1 star off for that. Otherwise a comprehensive bundle at a competetive price and well packaged. Would use this supplier again.

I purchased 3 x GoPro HERO13 Black…

I purchased 3 x GoPro HERO13 Black Bundle 4, The Bundle advised there would be Underwater LED Light with Bracket for GoPro 2 included however we have received standard lights rather than Underwater ones. I contacted SlrHut twice via email to advice of the above and ask them to collect the wrong items and deliver the correct items I should have received. Not only did they not respond despite me chasing my original email, I tried calling but again was unable to get through. I am disappointed to receive the wrong items with my order but these things happen, what truly disgusts me is the fact they will not communicate with me and were happy to take my money and them ignore me after, truly awful customer service, I would avoid using them if I were you.

Perfect!

I had an awesome experience with SLR HUT! Purchased a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN ii which arrived in perfect new condition and within just a few days. Will definitely use this company again!

DO NOT USE

Bought a Sony RX1r ii, advertised as NEW AND IN STOCK.

It was not new at all, but a well used second hand camera.

I contacted them by call and email, but they are just ignoring me. No contact from customer service at all.

Reading the reviews, there is a common pattern. About 70% of their transactions seem to be fine, the correct item shipped, happy customer. But around 30% are not as advertised, replacement items, used not new, or other issues. When the 30% try to get in touch, they are ignored or fobbed off.

DO NOT USE these people, unless you are willing to gamble and be one of the 70% and not one of the 30%.

They took my money but could not deliver the goods

Lens in stock online. They took my order and payment for something they did not have. 4 days later nothing from them. Managed to get someone that day on phone. To find they could not deliver. Worse still lens is not longer made.
They took my money when they could not deliver the goods!.

Terrible service...I ordered a camera…

Terrible service...I ordered a camera yesterday...this morning I received an email from SLR HUT asking me to phone as they say they have tried to contact me on BOTH my number which are on the order confirmation invoice and correct. I phonede 5 times this morning to SLR HUT...Their mailbox is full and can't take anymore messages, another number ending 9372 is disconnected...and the main number just plays music...a total gimcrack outfit...I wish i'd bought elsewhere...OH, and now I've been cut off after 15 minutes....It would be good if …
1. You answered your phone
2. Take messages…your mailbox is full
3. The number on my order 02035149372 is out of service
4. What sort of gimcrack company are you ??

I’m VERY unimpressed…I ve been hanging on the phone for some time this morning. I suggest you get your act together….

Be very careful..

Regardless of the fact that I requested for my order to be cancelled, they still shipped it 2 days later. They did offer a full refund, but only on the condition that I send it back to their US warehouse (I am in the UK), at my own cost, which was going to be over £120!!

Their excuse was that they didn't see my email cancellation or their webform cancellation in the 2 days leading up to the order being shipped. I also tried calling them on numerous occasions but there was never any answer and their voicemail box was full and not accepting messages.

Ordered a new DSLR Sony Alpha 7III

Ordered a new DSLR Sony Alpha 7III - I get that they may sell items that are imported from other countries. But I didn't expect to receive a camera that had the original "Sony" seal broken on the box - with any new electronics you are told to refuse items that have been tampered with. There was a new seal stuck over the top which was not the original. The camera being inside of another box as it came with a larger kit I didn't get around to noticing this until later in the day.
I am highly concerned that I have bought a camera that is not new. I also noticed that there was a replacement charging adaptor inside of the box and not the original Sony adaptor (wall charger).
Again evidence that this is not a brand new item. I am extremely disappointed.

Great price, Super fast delivery... 5*

Bought a GoPro bundle from SlrHut recently. Was the 12 that came with a ton of accessories and everything I needed, price was super cheap. Delivery was super quick. Ordered Wednesday evening and it arrived Friday morning, despite the email saying it wasn't expected till Monday.

Accessories not in seperate boxes, just in labelled cellophane bags but as it's a bundle I guess that's to be expected.

Would definitely order from here again without hessitation. 5*
