“Good price and quick delivery, only complaint is I didn't get sent an email to let me know the item had despatched, just one to say the order has been received and confirmed. Other than that a pleasure doing business.”

“Seller had good grasp of what equipment was available and comparison between different brands. New layout of Drummond Street Store is a great improvement.”

“I like Calumet because it has the combination of friendly and knowledgeable staff, wide range of stock and good value. I would tend to make Calumet my first port of call.”

“As always everything about my order with Calumet went well. The backdrops were easy to locate on the website with a large selection. The ordering process was easy and quick. My delivery arrived within 2 days, arrived undamaged and well protected. All round excellent service as always”

“Calumet is a great place for camera equipment. Resonable prices too. Ordered my student membership on Friday and arrived by 9:30am Monday. This will really help me throughout my studies. Love the bag it came with too!! Only thing down side about the Glasgow store, is when our class visited for an open day event, they didn't seem very welcoming. We may be students just now, and many may not have the funds to have bought items there and then, but we are the next generation of professional photographers and over time, our kit bags will increase and so will the money we make. On the other hand, one of the woman in the class was going to buy an expensive lens, but the lack of warm welcoming she had, talked her out of it and she took her business else where.”

“Bought the Manfrotto 190 with head just brilliant also got the flex arm attachment also great only one thing was the web site didn't mention i needed a screw adapter to fit this on and this was not carried by calumet so i had to buy from Manfrotto at a extra £10 inc post so was unable to use the arm when i needed. But still a good deal .”

“Generarlly I'm really happy with Calumet. All the staff I have met in the shop (London) or spoken to or had email contact with have been very helpful. I would strongly recommend them and their products to people. Some of my items were out of stock (from 12th January 2015) but generally the web team have kept me up to date with orders. I have just chased again today though (7th Feb) as I have not heard anything for a week. Also, one item was cheaper online elsewhere and a refund was issued immediately which was great.”

“The Backdrop was exactly as described. Although one thing. It requires a two people to set up. This would have been easier if the backdrop came with clips to avoid the paper from slipping, as we required a lot of tape to get it to hold. As for the Stand, there was no manual that came along with my purchase but luckily it was very straight forward setting up.”

“I recently purchased a new Canon 7D Mark 2 in Calumet's Glasgow premises. While I was slightly disappointed not to be allowed to handle the camera before purchase "because we don't have a demonstrator" the purchase process itself was carried out in a friendly, efficient manner.”

“I have to say that the guy who served me was extremly helpful and friendly. Something which Calumet has lacked in the past. Usually the service is someone unhelpful or unfriendly but this guy was the complete opposite. The new store layout is good.”

“recently purchased items in the January sale - had to write to Calumet as they hadn't applied the "30% off all Calumet branded products" discount to an item I had purchased. I only noticed the discount hadn't been applied by chance... I emailed them and they responded promptly and refunded the missing discount. One of the items I ordered was apparently in stock but hasn't yet arrived - I'll have to call them up and track this.. I will be shopping at Calumet in the future.”

“Your staff are too tied up behind the counter to actually engage with people around the shop floor.You need to have staff freely available to help prospective buyers as they browse through all the array of equipment at hand.”

“The large FlashBender easily attaches to the flash gun with a Velcro strap, however, the press stud at the other end of the strap becomes detached too readily. It can be bent into any shape, even a tube, but although the results are softer than the bare flash head, it is not as soft as some YouTube videos would lead one to believe. Used outdoors, it is less susceptible to a breeze than an umbrella.”

“Help in store was excellent. I bought a second hand camera which so far I am happy with, although I was a little disappointed to discover this was a French version, with French handbook and charger. I feel this should have been mentioned prior to purchase.”
