Packaging is definitely OTT

Delivered on time, good communication, product in perfect condition. One thing to point out though is that the delivery is a bit over-the-top - I ordered 5x almost weightless card solar eclipse glasses and they arrived in a large box via a courier and a PIN code to receive the delivery. A small envelope through the post would have more than sufficed.

Great Support

Great service from Rafael and Ben. DPD as per usuall failed and lied about attempting to deliver an item. DPD being incompetant didnt see our cctv. However, Jessops to the rescue and went above and beyond to help me get my lens before my holiday. This is what professional and caring customer service looks like. DPD is beyond bad.

Jessop’s a shop where you matter.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being served by a very pleasant and knowledgeable young lady at your Meadowhall shop. Georgia was everything we used to expect and get from a professional al shop assistant, but frequently lacking these days. After travelling 76 miles round trip, due to a few disappointing online purchase attempts from other “supposedly reputable companies”, we decided that spending £500 required a face to face shop experience. We were not disappointed. So glad we decided to visit Jessop’s because we left the shop feeling extremely happy both with our purchase and with our service.

Selling my Nikon camera and lens

Decided to sell my Nikon camera and lens so contacted a number of companies for a valuation. With Jessops website it was very easy to submit details and the valuation was received very quickly. The quotation was significantly higher than the camera company I purchased the equipment from and was not dependent on purchasing something. Their evaluation of the equipment was the same as mine and did not reduce the valuation after physical inspection. The Jessops team, in shop and online, were very professional and made the whole experience straightforward Very happy and would highly recommend them if you have camera equipment to sell

Poor packaging.

I bought glasses for viewing a solar eclipse. DPD delivered them on the agreed date, but the package was badly damaged. The courier took a photo of it. The box had been stuffed with paper, but the glasses were just shoved down the side, so had little or no protection. Luckily, they seem to be OK, but maybe a bit more care should be taken in future?

Dear Catriona,

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

We're pleased to hear that your solar eclipse glasses arrived on the expected delivery date and, most importantly, that they appear to have reached you in good condition despite the condition of the parcel.

Having reviewed this, we've established that the package left our warehouse in good condition and was securely packed. Unfortunately, it appears the damage occurred during transit with the courier, which is consistent with the delivery photo that was taken. We appreciate your comments regarding the packaging and will certainly review whether additional protection could be beneficial for similar items in the future.

We're sorry for the condition your parcel arrived in and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope the glasses served you well for the eclipse.

Kind regards,

The Jessops Customer Service Team
