Great Service

Very straightforward process and good price achieved. I could have tried selling equipment on other platforms and possibly got slightly more but this was competitive enough without the faff.
Great response times too

Outstanding service from Sam and store manager Pranav at Jessops on Oxford Street

I was trying to find solar eclipse glasses when they were selling out everywhere, and Sam went completely above and beyond to help me. She was incredibly kind and attentive, kept me updated and made sure I managed to get a pair!

When I collected them, Pranav was equally brilliant. He was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and took the time to make sure I had everything I needed.

Sam and Pranav are fantastic representatives of Jessops and exactly the kind of people every company should want on its team. Exceptional customer service from beginning to end. Thanks so much to you both!

Abysmal customer and despatch experience

Easy to order and pay, but dispatch and follow up was abysmal. I order 4 filters, I heard nothing about a delivery forecast, I chased it up only to be told that one of the filters has still not arrived... I asked for thd three they had in stock to be delivered, they arrived eventually, I called to ask for an update, they said it was in their warehouse and would be despatched soon ... I chased it up again only to be told its STILL in warehouse and would be despatched next week.... I cancelled the order ... very poor customer service especially after I had to chase them up .... won't buy from them again.

Dear Michael,

Thank you for your feedback.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Unfortunately we experienced some unforeseen delays in transferring the final item from our warehouse to dispatch centre which I understand the team did communicate. We have reviewed the situation with our internal courier to help mitigate the affect any such delays has on customers in the future.

Dear Andy,

Thank you for your feedback.

When your order was placed, the DJI Mini 3 was shown on our website as “Available to order – awaiting stock”. This means that the item was not in stock at the time of purchase and was awaiting further stock from our supplier. While we appreciate that the length of the wait has been frustrating, we did not indicate that the item would be available sooner.

We would also like to clarify that the product ordered was a DJI Mini 3, rather than the DJI Mini 3 Pro. The order confirmation and product purchased were for the Mini 3, so we would not have expected a Pro model to be supplied.

We appreciate that the delay was disappointing, and we apologise for the frustration this has caused. However, we hope this clarifies that the product was correctly advertised and that the order was placed for the Mini 3, with the stock status indicating that it was awaiting availability.

Kind regards,

The Jessops Customer Service Team

I received my eclipse glasses on time and provided the necessary protection for my eyes during the partial eclipse. The eclipse was successfully observed using the Jessops filter glasses.

I’m busy at this time so I haven’t test it

I’d received yesterday and checked. There is missing ‘us-sub flash’. It should be 7 items but there is only 6 items
