Excellent trade-in price and support!

The support team replied to my email promptly when I enquired about collection for my camera equipment I was trading in. They were very polite and helpful and arranged collection for me at a time that best suited me. Once inspected, the price offered was the same as what I was quoted which was over £150 more than any other trade-in service offered by competitors! I am very pleased and would definitely use Jessops in the future for future trade-ins.

Very easy to deal with this very fair and trusted company. All initial valuations of my equipment were met bar one, but the experts discovered a problem with one lens, which was unacceptable and I was given the option to have it returned or recycled which is the option I chose because I could not in all honestly sell it.

It's a great store

It's a great store, the only 2 things I found slightly unprofessional is, the procedure, every customer should get a physical receipt, not only on email, after all, these gadgets can cost thousands of pounds, I think customers need better reassurance when they send/drop their items.

Dear George,

Thank you for your feedback.

Companies across the board are moving towards email receipts to help customers out to ensure they are digitally stored instead of a physical receipt which can be lost easily. I have requested further information though, so we can investigate exactly what happened in this situation and get back to you.

Great service we'll pleased with the product fast delivery

I was unsure about spending a fair amount of money on a pair of binoculars that I hadn't seen and what I know about binoculars you could write on the back of a postage stamp and still have room for my name and address but having spoke to your very knowledgeable and helpful representative he soon put me right I had no qualms about purchasing the pair he recommended (and not the most expensive may I had). I didn't have to wait to long either within 24hrs I received them well packaged and more than pleased with the quality exactly what I needed. Would definitely use jessops again and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. I wished more company's were like you. I am more than pleased with the product I purchased I wish your company all the best for the future you deserve to do well once again thank you for a very fine service.

Great Advice, Great Price

I wanted some half decent binoculars for a trip to South Africa but was worried that I was going to be over-sold! The sales guy was super helpful and suggested a pair of Nikon Sportstar EX 10x25 DCF. They were within the budget I had in mind and they were perfect (compact, light, clear and bright to look through and great magnification).

I would definitely recommend Jessops for their advice, significant ranges and competitive prices.

Nice camera trade-in experience because of helpful and professional service

My recent entailed trading my existing camera with a newer offering from Canon. I was visiting the Meadowhall branch from another city. While they did not have the camera I wanted in stock, the staff made sure it was brought to the branch within a day. Their communication was excellent and to the point. The actual trade-in experience was also nice, though I had expected a bit more for my gear. I was not kept waiting. We went through the whold process including the balancing payment in a frictionless manner. I am happy with my new camera.

Good selling experience

Buy and sell a fair bit of camera gear. Always honest with my descriptions when I trade in. This is the first time I've not been knocked down for spurious reasons. Fair play. Process easy ebough. Will use again.
