Ordered some solar eclipse glasses at relatively short notice. The site did not guarantee a delivery date but they arrived in time and with a secure delivery.

Outstanding service from Sam and store manager Pranav at Jessops on Oxford Street

I was trying to find solar eclipse glasses when they were selling out everywhere, and Sam went completely above and beyond to help me. She was incredibly kind and attentive, kept me updated and made sure I managed to get a pair!

When I collected them, Pranav was equally brilliant. He was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and took the time to make sure I had everything I needed.

Sam and Pranav are fantastic representatives of Jessops and exactly the kind of people every company should want on its team. Exceptional customer service from beginning to end. Thanks so much to you both!

Abysmal customer and despatch experience

Easy to order and pay, but dispatch and follow up was abysmal. I order 4 filters, I heard nothing about a delivery forecast, I chased it up only to be told that one of the filters has still not arrived... I asked for thd three they had in stock to be delivered, they arrived eventually, I called to ask for an update, they said it was in their warehouse and would be despatched soon ... I chased it up again only to be told its STILL in warehouse and would be despatched next week.... I cancelled the order ... very poor customer service especially after I had to chase them up .... won't buy from them again.

Dear Andy,

Thank you for your feedback.

When your order was placed, the DJI Mini 3 was shown on our website as “Available to order – awaiting stock”. This means that the item was not in stock at the time of purchase and was awaiting further stock from our supplier. While we appreciate that the length of the wait has been frustrating, we did not indicate that the item would be available sooner.

We would also like to clarify that the product ordered was a DJI Mini 3, rather than the DJI Mini 3 Pro. The order confirmation and product purchased were for the Mini 3, so we would not have expected a Pro model to be supplied.

We appreciate that the delay was disappointing, and we apologise for the frustration this has caused. However, we hope this clarifies that the product was correctly advertised and that the order was placed for the Mini 3, with the stock status indicating that it was awaiting availability.

Kind regards,

The Jessops Customer Service Team

I’m busy at this time so I haven’t test it

I’d received yesterday and checked. There is missing ‘us-sub flash’. It should be 7 items but there is only 6 items

Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining

£4.49 delivery charge on an item that’s £12.99 was a p*ss take. I unsubscribed from emails but still receiving them which isn’t cool either

Dear Sean,

Thank you for your feedback.

We understand that delivery charges can sometimes feel disproportionate to the value of a product. However, the £4.49 delivery charge was clearly displayed at the time of placing your order, allowing you to review the total cost before completing your purchase. You can check out our store locator if you wish to collect in-store in the future which would avoid a delivery charge: https://www.jessops.com/store-finder

We have contacted our Marketing and IT teams - they will take a look into why you are still receiving emails and ensure that this error is corrected shortly.

We do hope you enjoyed the solar eclipse viewing with your glasses!

Kind regards,

Very disappointing experience – order still not fulfilled after 13 days

I ordered a Sony 16mm f/1.8 lens from Jessops 13 days ago. The lens was showing as in stock on the website and was also included in a Sony promotional week offering 10% off. I placed the order with Jessops rather than another retailer because I had used them previously and wanted to stay loyal to a shop I had trusted.

Unfortunately, this has turned into a very disappointing experience.

I have now made two follow-up calls, and on both occasions I was told that they were waiting for a delivery containing my order. Each time, the expected delivery seems to be pushed back, and I still have no firm date for when I will actually receive the lens.

What is particularly frustrating is that the lens continues to show as “in stock” on the Jessops website. On both calls I specifically questioned this and was told that the website would be adjusted, this has only just happened.

I had ordered the lens specifically because I wanted to use it to photograph the meteor shower last night. That opportunity has now been missed because I still don’t have the lens.

The 10% promotional offer has also now ended. Had I known at the time that the lens wasn’t actually going to be available, I could have cancelled the order and bought it elsewhere at the same price and with the same offer. Now I’m left waiting for an order with no concrete delivery date, having missed the event I bought it for.

The whole experience has unfortunately left me questioning the accuracy of Jessops’ stock information and, more importantly, has completely undermined my trust in the company. I chose Jessops because of previous experience and loyalty, but after this experience I won’t be making that mistake again.

Very disappointing customer service and a very poor experience from a retailer I previously trusted.
