“Very helpful and they really know their stuff. Whenever I have been into a store the staff have always been happy to spend time with me answering questions and asking me questions to make sure they are selling me the product that is right for me, rather than the product that is most expensive which is nice. Historically their items weren't very competitively priced but now they definitely are, so you get a better quality service from a company that you can trust for the same price as you get elsewhere from a company you have never heard of.”

“Writing a review on Calumet is almost pointless as there aren''t enough adjectives, or the appropriate ones that I can think of, to adequately describe how good Calumet are. Whilst I absolutely hate dealing with the public, I am often told by colleagues that I am VERY good at it. Well, there is a reason I am so good at dealing with customers .................. and that's because I am THAT customer most retailers hate to deal with; you know, the one who knows his rights, the one who is never impressed, the one who demands perfection, the one who will crush your balls if you make a mistake on his order. Therefore, when I come across "difficult" customers I find it easy to deal with them because I am in effect dealing with myself!!!!! LOL!! That being said, you can understand that I don't give praise easily, in fact I find that the VAST majority of products and services in the U.K. are rubbish. Now, when it comes to Calumet I can't think of a single criticism to make of them. I am so impressed with Calumet that I have made a vow that, as a mark of my appreciation and as a matter of loyalty and honour, I will never buy a Canon camera from any other retailer than Calumet (so far I have purchased THREE Canon 1D series cams from them). On my previous purchase, the assistance and promptness of service I got from Jamie in order to correct a fault made my jaw drop as he provided me with more than I would have expected from a retailer, and on my camera purchase prior to that one again it was a case of Calumet going the extra mile. I always get the impression from Calumet that here is a company staffed by people who are photography enthusiasts who happen to be in business rather than a business who just happen to be selling photo gear; and that difference in mindset shines through. Calumet may not be the cheapest, and I for one do not expect them to be given their overheads compared to faceless impersonal online retailers, but their service is awesome; and besides, as my mother would say "the cheapest often becomes the dearest". So if you have a branch of Calumet near you make them your main retailer; you can't go wrong (and if by chance you have a problem with them, then I would put it down to being a branch or individual member of staff issue and NOT a company wide problem). So in a nutshell I, Mr Hardly Anything Impresses Me Much, am EXTREMELY impressed by Calumet.”

“Quick enough to take your money, very poor service when things go wrong. Eventually got refund and went elsewhere.”

“The day I went was my Ist. time there and not very long was my Ist. time to hear about columet, and all because I am new to photography, which I disvcover and I love passion. That particular day columet was offering the free cleaning of lenses and cameras which every body took advange off, so it was absolute caose, but well organized. I likked the cup cakes, I had quite a few of those but I could not find any coffee, althought i saw quite a few cups about all looking the same, so it gave the impresion that Calumet had as well taken the time to organize coffee as well, well done Calumet. On that day, the poor sales men were so bussy that they really did not have time to advise properly, all they were interested was in getting the order and go, althought they were very polite but the pessure on them was there to put you to the till. On this kind of event what advise can I give?. Perhaps calumet could bring in more staff and offer and make the coffee a little more visible to the customers. and if calumet needs more staff, they can employ me, as I am at this moment in time looking for a job, but calumet will have to train me. Hope to hearing from you soon, and i will love to visit the shop soon as i looking for a new camera. Olga”

“I have bought an Epson 3880 Stylus Pro Printer at Calumet Photographic. The special offer was very very good (an extra set of inkcartridges and a box with printpaper). Ordering and delivery was very fine - but they have forgotten to send the box with paper. I contacted calumet by mail and the service was very fine and I got my paper. The printer is very good and I am very satisfied dealing with Calumet.”

“While the service was polite, friendly and efficient I ended up with one product that did not suit my needs. I was disappointed that it was a calumet own brand and that the staff member did not have the technical knowledge to spot that the remote release would not be suitable for light painting as it was not possible to use on bulb setting.”

“I ordered a bi-colour LED panel light over the phone at 4:50 pm which i needed to collect first thing the following day. Indira who i spoke with on the phone was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating with my requirements for collection early the next morning and generally really helpful. Collection was efficient the next day and the light is excellent. Many thanks!”

“The Calumet store in Glasgow isn't the most conveniently situated, but what is loses in ease of access , it gains in good old fashioned customer service and advice. In an age where shopping is increasingly done via internet or impersonal superstores, the staff at Calumet take the time to discuss your requirements and as enthusiast themselves, are able to give good advice . The fact that Calumet has survived when so many high St photography stores have failed, speaks volumes about what photographers really want from a store.”
