Binoculars

Staff were friendly & helpful understanding what I needed from a pair of binoculars. I tested various models & purchased a pair that were more expensive than if I'd bought them off the Internet, but being able to try them was worth it.

I found the website extremely good

I found the website extremely good, in many cases it was better than the manufacturers' sites. There was plenty of information, and the actual ordering was very straightforward.
Although there was a hitch with the delivery, it was finally without problem and I'd rate myself a satisfied customer.

Terrible returns experience - never again

Having used Jessops for decades, my recent experience will be my last. I'm fed up with companies letting their service plummet. I don't have time or interest in them when this happens. As of today, this includes Jessops.

I ordered an item online after discovering my local Jessops had closed. On receipt I realised quickly it wouldn't suit my needs, got a returns number, and sent it back.

On receipt, Jessops claimed the item had been used because the box had been opened and was therefore not in "pristine" condition. They offered me a reduced refund as a result of this. Having wasted too much time with their Customer Services I had to approach my credit card company for help. Thankfully they obliged.

Jessops are subject to the Consumer Contracts Regulations which allows inspections. This affords the same convenience as doing so in store. In my case the inspection was a lot quicker than this. In fact ALL of the accessories were still sealed in their packages when I sent back to them (had I used it, I would have needed a few of the accessories).

The only thing I have to say in their favour was they were generally quick to respond to my questions. However they weren't helpful at all, failed to refund me for the original postage, and refused to help with with the quite considerable cost of getting the item back to them, which is meant to be covered unless clearly stated (the packaging slip does not mention this).

I'm frustrated with them, out of pocket by nearly £16, and absolutely no thanks to Jessops. At one point I rated them highly. Now they're worse than most of the faceless online retailers I use, who at least offer decent service.

I won't be using them for anything else though. There's plenty of better alternatives

Rude and uninterested shop assistant…

Rudest most uninterested shop assistant I have ever met. Went to Jessops to get advice and buy a camera for a 20th birthday present this evening with my son - we had travelled about 40 mins across Sheffield to buy from a store and not use the internet. There were two staff on and there was no one else in the store. Had a brief strained conversation with the male whilst the younger female stood behind and smiled. The male on the other hand was ignorant and rude - no greeting, no eye contact and slouched behind the counter when we described what we wanted his immediate question was ‘ What’s your price range?’ When we suggested £300 to £350 he immediately retorted ‘your starting price is going to be £585..’ and then mumbled some brand I’ve never heard of. And then looked away again. By this time I’d had enough - told him he was rude and that I clearly was annoying him - he made no apology or attempt at service recovery and said nothing at all but came from behind the counter by which time we were leaving - I looked back at the female and shrugged and she looked embarrassed.
A skilled assistant would have advised on alternatives and could have easily got me to spend more money. This review doesn’t do justice to his rudeness- But he certainly lost Jessops custom tonight.
Jessops Is an old respected firm, but I won’t be going back. To Harrison’s for me.

Nice simple transaction

This company makes buying and trade-ins very simple. They direct you step by step, even telling you how to pack and post. Good communication by email, and good prices.

After an initial disappointment at the store with reference to pricing I communicated with Jessop's on line using email. They were quick to respond and quick to recompense me for the difference between the price advertised on line and what I was charged in the store. Thank you

My experience with Jessops has been…

My experience with Jessops has been nothing short of frustrating.
The company advertised a product for sale, took payment instantly, and only afterwards was it revealed that the item was not actually in stock and listed as a DJI mini pro 3 when I fact it was the standard 3.. Even more concerning, nobody could tell me when, or even if, the product would become available.
When I decided to cancel and request a refund, I was informed that it could take up to a week for my money to be returned. It’s remarkable how quickly they can take your money, yet returning it appears to be a much slower process.
What made matters worse was the response from customer services. Despite the misleading advertising, the lack of stock availability, the inconvenience caused, and the delay in receiving my refund, customer service representative Raphael appeared unable to understand why I felt any goodwill gesture might be appropriate.
At one stage, the suggestion seemed to be that issuing the refund itself was somehow the goodwill gesture. Returning money for a product you cannot supply is not goodwill, it is the absolute minimum a retailer should be expected to do.
To add insult to injury, the product listing remained unchanged despite the issues being pointed out multiple times. This raises serious concerns about how accurately products are being advertised to customers.
Mistakes happen, and stock issues can occur. What matters is how a company responds when things go wrong. Unfortunately, Jessops’ response has demonstrated a complete lack of accountability, poor communication, and a disappointing attitude towards customer concerns.
Based on my experience, I would not purchase from Jessops again.

Dear Nicholas,

Thank you for your feedback.

We appreciate you reporting the other company that is misrepresenting Jessops and has misleading advertising on Google. We are working with the relevant parties on getting this taken down as quickly as possible. In terms of our website, we are confident that all products are listed correctly and have the most up to date information.

You made an order for a product that is on status 'available to order - awaiting stock' - we are upfront and honest about availability and if our suppliers are unable to provide an exact timeframe (which can happen with some very in demand equipment that has limited stock incoming to the UK) then we will communicate that back to our customers. We appreciate that can be frustrating however we would rather be honest than provide inaccurate timelines. We understand some customers may not want to wait indefinitely however we do have a large portion of customers who, for certain products, are happy to wait. As soon as we receive an update with a timeline from our suppliers we will then communicate that back.

Regarding your refund, it has been actioned from our side however unfortunately, banks take 2-5 working days to process refunds. That is the same with any other company or industry.

We completely understand there may have been some confusion here however we are confident we have acted correctly.

Kind regards,

The Jessops Customer Service Team

Outstanding customer service for a perfect camera! Insta360 Luna Ultra Creator Bundle

​I recently purchased the Insta360 Luna Ultra Creator Combo from Jessops, and I couldn't be happier with both the product and the shopping experience.
​This was a highly anticipated new release, and I’ll admit I was quite eager—I found myself messaging the team almost daily for updates. I want to give a huge shout-out to the staff at Jessops for being incredibly patient, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. They never made me feel like a nuisance; instead, they kept me well-informed and ensured my order was handled perfectly and delivered right on time.
​As for the camera itself, it is absolutely amazing! The dual-lens system and the image quality are everything I hoped for and more. It has completely elevated my content creation workflow.
​Beyond the product, I also want to highlight how great Jessops’ customer service is in general, especially when it comes to their payment plans. Being able to access flexible financing options made it possible for me to get the exact gadget I wanted without compromising.
​If you’re looking for a retailer that genuinely cares about their customers and makes high-end tech accessible, I highly recommend Jessops. A massive thank you to the team for their dedication!

Absolutely useless

Absolutely useless. Paid for passport photos and asked they stamp and sign them which they acted like wasn’t necessary. He stamped one as a sort of joke like it wasn’t necessary. My passport application has just been returned because of it. I called up to talk to them and he was going to call back but never heard. They are literally ignoring my calls currently even though I haven’t even shared the problem. You had one bloody job and failed. Go elsewhere

Sam was very helpful and pleasant. There was no attempt to rush me into buying anything. In fact, he took time to demonstrate some of the equipment and very clearly explained the controls. This is a store I have used on several occasions in the past and I will certainly use it in the future.
