I wanted to upgrade my X100F to the X100V, so I traded it in, and applied for financing the rest. That was approved on 3rd March. The X100V appeared as awaiting stock on their website. I asked them when they will receive them and they told me "soon". I waited 10 days and contacted their customer service, no reply. Waited another week and contacted them again, no reply. I tried to call, no answer. I finally was able to speak to them via their website chat app. They told me one week or two. After two weeks, I opened their chat and asked again, same: one or two weeks. And the same again, two more weeks, same answer. Last week I received a message from the courier that the parcel from Jessops would be delivered the next day, no message from Jessops though. Next day I received an email from the finance company that as Jessops had fulfilled my order, the monthly instalments will start. When I received the parcel, surprise! it wasn't the camera, but the weather seal kit I ordered together. I contacted them again, only to have them tell me that they don't know, it could be 2 or 3 weeks, but not for sure, to send the camera. So, they stupidly sent me a kit that costs £50, they haven't sent the main item of the order, the camera. And they say they are so sorry that they can't do anything about the financing payments starting. Really??? So, why the f have they sent me that stupid kit that I can't use because they haven't sent me the camera? So, more than two months now, and I still haven't received it, and they can't tell for sure when they will send it. And I have to start paying for an order that hasn't been fulfilled. They don't reply to emails, and they don't answer the phone. The only way is via their website chat. This is the second camera I bought from them, but it will also be the last one. Never again.

Do not use this company. I placed an order the beginning of December 2020 for a Christmas present at the value of over £100. I received no correspondence regarding the order and as Christmas approached I contacted customer service by email expressing my concern. I received 1 response back assuring me stock is replenished regularly. Again I waited and emailed again for an update and did not to this day received an email response. Christmas came and went which was very embarrassing and I continued to chase this via email to receive no response. I called and was cut off as soon as I was speaking to an advisor and then this week resulted to the online chat. On 19.01.2021 I was then advised the items jessops allowed me to order over a month ago was actually discontinued by their supplier, yet they failed to inform me and still had my money. I was assured a refund would be arranged within 24 hours. 24 hours passed and I was still not refunded my money, so again I had to result to the online chat and was then refunded immediately. I am still raising a complaint for the service I received because if it was not for my persistence I would still be over £100 at finial loss, with no item and it’s clear jessops had no intention of contacting me to inform me of this mess up. To say I am disappointed is an absolute under statement. I am have advised jessops I wish for this complaint to be escalated but I highly doubt I will receive any response but I will continue to raise this until I received a fair explanation or gesture of good will. Do not order from here.

I have never had to write a negative review in my life, however the service from Jessops has been appalling and need to ensure that people do not use this company. I purchased DJI Refresh for my Drone 4 weeks ago and was informed on purchase that I would receive the product within 24 hours. I have been emailing customer service for 4 weeks and have still not received any response. After days of trying to contact customer service by phone, I finally reached somebody who told me I would ‘just have to wait’, this was after 3 weeks! Since then, I have again emailed several times and emails are just being ignored. I have never ever experienced anything like it from a ‘reputable’ company. I only read the reviews after purchasing from the company and can see that multiple customers have had similar experiences. Do not purchase from this company, the service is by far the worst I have ever experienced in my life. Please avoid this company at all costs!!!

Ordered a printer from their website that said “in stock “ at the time. Money debited from my account and after a few days decided to find out when it would be arriving. It was then that I noticed their website stated, “currently awaiting stock”. Can’t call them as their phone lines are closed, can’t use online chat as they online chat system is closed no response from email! This is out and out fraud, there is no other description for it!

Purchased a Nikon Fit Sigma Art Lens (USED) two weeks ago - they sent a Canon Fit Lens labelled as Nikon. 3 emails and no response re returning. This is a concern as the lens cost £400.

very bad experience. they are selling deals in camera that Donny have in stock. I bought a camera 1 month ago and it supposed to be in stock and I'm still waiting. JESSOPS IS A JOKE. Go to amazon, it's easy.

Appalling Customer Service DO NOT use this Company. I placed an order on a delivery of a week (and they took the money from my credit card) after I contacted them 8 times their response was they were unable to deliver and cancelled my order. I had previously requested an alternative and nothing was offered. How this company has gone down in recent times.

Rip off company. Doubles price of items to then reduce to make it look like in the sale. Shocking customer service. Would not buy from this company again.

Non existant customer service when ordering online. Order process simple enough but then nothing and nobody is picking up the phone or emails. They've taken my payment but left me in limbo as to when I will receive the items. Really poor and will not use again.

Extremely POOR delivery service and website checkout First there were issues checking out using PayPal at Jessop's site, which caused a duplicate payment to be submitted. Once the payment was acknowledged and our order ID J22359676 was accepted the bed experience only ... continued! It was dispatched via dhl UK and they was marked as "delivered" and signed for by us, however the problem was WE NEVER RECEIVED IT! The tracking (41138190468570 ) shows delivered to a completely different location. We needed this item for our own wedding ... shame!!!

I ordered a camera and it got received by someone else. I've been trying to contact Jessops for over a month and Ben Ford (manager) replied me twice every two weeks with no solution. He kept repeating to ask neighbours and does not want to refund or re-send item. Do not buy from here, cause if any problem like this appears, they will ignore you and will not want to sort it out.

I ordered on line on June 4th a tripod and some filters and received acknowledgement which said delivery in 1-2 days. I needed these early this week. I have tried the phone, and emails to the numbers Jessops recommended but all responses are either not taking calls, not responding to emails, no acknowledgment they have received them. I am disgusted, as in the past this company has been so helpful. I will not bother to come to Jessops in the future. LF Birmingham

I ordered a number of photo prints from Jessops , and when they arrived, they were not my photos, instead of family photos I received a group of photos showing young girls in bikinis. I immediately contacted Jessops by email (their phones weren't working) and informed them of their mistake. 5 days later after no contact, I sent my 2nd email, again no response. I have just sent my 5th email to Jessops requesting a refund as I received no response to any of my emails. They have lost a customer for both prints and new photographic equipment I planned to buy shortly. Disgraceful service.

I ordered a Camera 4 months ago and paid £300.00 deposit, and applied 4 credit I have contacted them each month to chase and get a holding reply. I have checked the Manufacturers site and they are listing the item as avaliable and have done everyday for the last 3 months. My local authorised Nikon Dealership has been restocked three time with the product along with Wex, Curry's and other online suppliers who are not grey market suppliers but UK/EU approved agents.

Avoid during COVID-19!!!!!!!!!! I ordered a Hahnal dual battery charger over a week ago and the money went out my account within a day or 2, Delivery details were 1-2 working days, my order has not even been sent, still sitting at "Processing", I have tried messaging / Emailing / phoning, and not had a response whatsoever via email and phoning you get cut off. I cannot even cancel order and go somewhere else like Wix photo because you need to speak to an adviser. (But you can't) you get daily offers via email but it is like Jessops are not trading anymore. Avoid ordering anything at least until the shop re-open. I have used Jessops for years and have been totally happy with them until now. (I understand this is probably just to do with Covid-19 and times are difficult) But either update your website Peter Jones or Don't take money and orders if you cannot fulfil them. Totally disappointed, It does not help when you go on line and read that in December 2019 Jessops were looking at calling in the Administrators.......so it does make you wonder!!!!!!!!!!

AVOID !!! Ordered a camera on finance. First payment went out of my account. After 8 weeks of waiting the order is still “processing’’. Impossible to contact them. No phone answered, no CHAT avaiable, no reply to emails. Absolutely outrageous. A joke not a company. Will never shop with them again.

Awaiting stock... available to order... 8 weeks later I'm still waiting....stores are closed ..order online. Dont bother... it would appear that they are selling what stock they have... and not getting anymore cameras in... makes me wonder.

Ordered a tripod to take away for a long weekend away as it was in stock with immediate dispatch. However 3 days after paying for the item I thought I would check to see if it had been dispatched as I had not received any notification. On speaking to the automated link this evening my order had not been processed even though the item had been paid for and the funds taken from my paypal account. If this is the way they treat their customers I am not surprised customers are leaving them in their droves. I too will be not purchasing anymore items from Jessops and I would recommend that no one else does too.....
