Excellent Customer Service

Having ordered a new camera I had to contact Customer Services to find out when I would be receiving the item. My email was responded to on the same day I sent it and Raphael who dealt with my enquiry told me I had ordered the colour choice which actually wasn't in stock and offered to change it to another colour which was in stock. My bad, I thought I had ordered a colour choice which was in stock, colour wasn't important to me and so Raphael changed the order for me. This was all dealt with very swiftly and I later got an email to say my order was expected with the delivery company. This is Customer Service at it's best. Thank you Jessops, and a special shout out to Raphael!

Positive experience, stocked a fairly rare lens at a good price

Stocked a difficult to find lens. Priced reasonably (basically RRP), but had a discount voucher advertised on the site. A little slow to get the item dispatched.

Customer services not very responsive via email, but live chat was good.

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for your feedback. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your overall experience with Jessops!

Regarding, communication via email, our team aim to respond to customers within 24-48 hours however I am afraid that does not include weekends as our Head Office team work Monday-Friday. We can see you emailed at 10pm on a Friday and spoke to our chat team on the following Monday at 12pm which we hope you can appreciate, only gave the team a few hours on Monday morning to respond.

We're glad we were able to assist you promptly on live chat and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Kind regards,

I ordered an A7V camera with 20mm lens - both were in stock. The body arrived on the monday after having ordered the fridat which was excellent.

The lens was not in the box but the delivery note suggested it should have been. I then called the customer service department and they told me the lens would be a further seven to ten days.

I then emailed the customer service manager. 12 hours later I still have no communication. no idea when the lens will arrive. I am having to chase on their website chat with still zero idea when the lens will turn up.

Unbelievably bad. So disappointed when the in store service was exceptional. Which I experienced the week before when I purchased my first A7V camera and lens, so impressed with the camera, I wanted another and wanted to use Jessops.

What a shame I will never shop online with them again and makes me resentful to purchase instore.

Dear Stuart,

Thank you for your feedback.

We're pleased to hear the camera body arrived promptly and you have previously had positive experiences with our in-store teams. We sincerely apologise for any frustration caused by the delivery of your lens.

To clarify, the next-day delivery option is only available for selected products, such as the camera you ordered. The lens was only available for our standard delivery service, which was stated on our website at the time of purchase. The invoice note included in the camera delivery, shows the lens as part of the order but not part of that shipment. We can see delivery of the lens has been confirmed for by Saturday.

In terms of communication, we always aim to respond to customer queries as quickly as possible however we also believe it is fair, reasonable and good service for our team to get back to our customers within 24 hours, which we can see our Customer Service Manager did. That said, we understand that waiting for an update is frustrating and we do apologise for any uncertainty this may have caused.

We hope you enjoy your camera and lens once it arrives shortly!

Kind regards,

Poor communication and flash offers that don't have expiry dates listed

This is my first time ever dealing with Jessops. I knew from the name it was a big brand when it comes to cameras. I also knew it was founded by Peter Jones from Dragons Den. What I didn't know is how my expectations for this company were immediately shattered by poor communication from the York Store and online. I was all set to visit the York store today, but five days ago emailed the store to enquire about the cameras condition. I still have not received any reply. However, during that time I decided to go for a canon camera on their website which last night was advertised on a big discount, along with a further discount of 5 percent off. I was at the basket with the price, all set to purchase. I then decided to wait till the morning. Hold and behold, the 5 percent discount vanished. I then asked whether they would honour this via their chat. Someone said they would get back to me and they didnt. I then contacted back again, and guess what. They remove the entire offers. None of these offers were clearly advertised to let me know when they expire. They seem to make them up on flash sales whenever they see fit, and not give customers clear visibility on when they expire. I even emailed the CEO Peter Jones and never got any follow up from is management. My entire experience is a complete let down and ive never been so disappointed because I knew Jessops as a name is big, and never expected a service this poor and inconsistent. They said they cannot honour both discounts. Also just to add, they also refused to provide me a shutter count last week, which is very poor customer service. They eventually did when my dad asked, but from my experience, the service has been abysmal from start to finish and now ill shop elsewhere.

Eva explained all the features of the camera

Eva explained all the features of the Fuji camera I was buying. She was well versed in all aspects of the camera and is a very good photographer herself, as evidenced by her website. Once she had shown me the camera, I went away for a couple of hours and thought about it and then went back and bought it.

Good price and very fast delivery

Far better price than a rival, glad I shopped around. I didn't choose express delivery as I was buying for a birthday about 2 weeks away - nonetheless, my order arrived on the Monday after ordering on the Saturday night. Item was well packed and secure, I was kept updated about delivery and I was really pleased with my purchase.

You need to get a carrier who delivers on time. This one came on the day (allegedly), I got a message saying sorry I missed you. I took a day off work and never left the house. In mitigation the delivery next day was on time, but necessitated another day off work.
