Dpd is not a good courier

Dpd is not a good courier. They didn't even try to get near my doorstep and told me there was nobody at home. Packaging was good.

Returning needs to be like amazon!

I really like Jessops and deliberately bought from you instead of amazon. Unfortunately, I needed to return the item as it was too small and had to deal with the hassle of paying for a return and insuring etc. Amazon is so easy as if you need to return the goods you just click and it issues you with a label and you are good to go. Customer services were a bit nonchalant about this, making the return easier would help even if a cost is necessary.

A great buying experience.

Met a great assistant Joanne T. She made purchasing a pair of binoculars so easy. We went back and purchased a new camera and lens. Her technical knowledge was a great help in making the right decision to buy these products. She was happy to spend time talking me through the questions I had and making great suggestions as to the best product for me. A great purchasing experience.

I have entrusted my late mother’s 3m slides for copying to memory stick. I have to say they were coped and returned to me within one month with exemplary service from Joe and Lauren and the team who did the copying. I have yet to check the memory stick and two copies but I am sure they will be fine and contain the 568 images that needed to be scanned and copied.

Very good service when cashing in on my camera equipment. Only issue was I had to chase to arrange collection via email after a few days of doing quote, as the selection of collection day on he website form didn’t seem to trigger anything for the collection. But once arranged all very swiftly handled.

Expert advice and brilliant service!

I recently part exchanged some camera gear in store in the Shrewsbury store. I’d been looking to change my gear for some time and had visited the store several times and Sam was incredibly helpful with showing me different cameras and offering useful advice. During the part exchange process Max was also really helpful and I felt that he valued me as a customer. It was a pleasure to be able to discuss everything with a team of people in store rather than online. I really appreciate all their efforts and I love my new gear.

Nikon Z50II

Your website lied when it indicated the camera kit I wanted was in store. I had to buy from your web site. A member of the shop staff gave me a demonstration of the camera. DPD's email said 9/2 but delivered 7/2. Well, that was a surprise!
Four stars for having to buy on line.

Good service but unnecessary and expensive packaging

Good service ordering and swift delivery from Jessops.
However, the item was a flat package about the size of a small greetings card that would easily have been posted cheaply and gone through a letterbox. Instead it was in an unnecessary large box delivered by DPD costing £4.49 with no option for safe place and left out in the weather. Fortunately fine just at that time! Ridiculous.

Dear Chris,

Thank you for your feedback.

Your feedback is vital for us as we are always looking to optimise our customer experience so we really appreciate you sharing.

Our pin delivery service is set up to ensure our orders are delivered in the most secure and safe way possible to safeguard our customer's parcels. We appreciate this may seem less relevant for your particular value of package however we specialise in high value cameras and technology therefore ensuring every delivery is delivered securely is very important to us. I am afraid the pin service does not allow for any packages to be delivered through the letterbox though.

We are so pleased you enjoyed your experience overall!

Kind regards,
