Written by the company

Established in 2000 in the Isle of Man, we specialise in optical, photographic and digital accessories and sell a wide range of products such as telescopes, binoculars, camera accessories, USB flash drives, memory cards, and much more, but with a particular focus in photography & computing. PicStop is 100% online, we have no retail outlets but have multiple warehouses in the UK & Isle of Man, we offer our products for sale across a number of marketplace channels and, of course, our own website where you can normally find the best rate for a product. We have authorised reseller status for many of the brands we stock, including Celestron, Vanguard, Skywatcher, Kingston, Samsung, SanDisk, and many more. You will find us on the "where to buy" section of many manufacturer websites. Apart from our competitive pricing, our consistent high level of service is what we believe sets us apart from our competition, online companies live and die by their reviews and with the growth of social media and the power this has it has become even more important to offer a better than just good service.

Customer called our office about this issue, we offered our apologies for the fault, promised to replace the product under warranty ASAP, we supplied 'free returns' details - an hour or so later we received this poor 'service' review. Tried contacting the reviewer again - no response.

Terrible service

Terrible service, tries every excuse not honour a warranty on sd cards, makes stuff up, to not replace faulty sd cards , be careful using their free post service as items dont arrive when they do... also bad attitude when he's corrected on his nonsense excuses... lol

Hello Richard Owen (Toe cutter)
We are disappointed to receive this 3rd negative review about the same order & issue from you.

This is in addition to the other reviews under aliases on Google (Chop Chop (Kingkong)) and Trustpilot (Mctavish). There was no problem at all for us to help facilitate a warranty claim, the manufacturer who offer the warranty (not the retailer) would have simply replaced the product (at no cost to us) had we received it. You posted the item without any tracking and told us you were concerned about sending via your local mini supermarket / post office. We suggest obtaining proof of postage or add tracking for a return with any retailer.

I'd give no stars if I could customer…

I'd give no stars if I could customer service is shocking so rude and sarcastic never again.

Occasionally, a product we supply may unfortunately develop a fault, we would always apologise for the issue and endeavour to resolve the situation as quickly as possible for any customer. In this instance, we are quite sure we did our utmost to help this customer and responded to all 87 emails with this buyer professionally & courteously. Unfortunately, the buyer didn't agree and made a claim with his credit card company just prior to the replacement under warranty being shipped.

From reporting the issue, a replacement would have been received after 14 working days. As the manufacturer could not help resolve the issue remotely they requested the unit be returned for testing (as you would expect), only then would they release a replacement unit under warranty.

Here's exactly what happened:

- Buyer Orders Smart Telescope - Tues Feb 25, 2025, 1:29 pm
- Delivered Wednesday 26th February 2025 at 10:18

- Buyer reports issue with product. Mon Mar 24, 20:10
- We respond the following day - Tue Mar 25, 13:29, we didn't have the answer and sought support from the manufacturer.
- Manufacturer advised, please report fault through the telescope APP (Mar 25, 15:34), buyer does this.
- Sat Mar 29, 22:02, Four days later - Customer: "I've put a claim through my credit card"
- Manufacturer support replied: Mon Mar 31, 7:48 and advises returning for repair or replacement.
- Customer requests the unit is picked up, arranged for Thur 3/4/2025 (date buyer requested), and it arrived at our warehouse Mon 7/4/2025
- Unit shipped to manufacturer on the same day, Mon 7/4/2025
- Unit Arrives with manufacturer Tue 8/4/2025
- Manufacturer agrees to ship replacement Thu 10th April.

- Thu Apr 10, 12:57 - Confirmation of chargeback claim against us from credit card company, funds now withheld by card issuer.
"The buyer has filed a chargeback with their financial institution reporting that the item they received wasn't as described. "
- Shipment of replacement cancelled - Thu 10th April
- Friday 11th April, the day the replacement should have been received.
