“finally had some free time while in London so popped in to get another battery for the ID-X, got there at the right time, the store only had a couple of people in, straight to the counter and served, had to wait a couple of minutes for the battery to be collected from their delivery / store area as they came in the morning. during the wait had a look around the rest of the store. the service was fast prompt good banter from the staff”

“Recently purchased a Fuji X complete pro system from Calumet Birmingham. Outstanding service and attention to detail. Tea was consumed and I left the shop VERY happy.”

“Great service, friendly and helpful as always. Would be good if staff really tried out as much gear as possible to offer advice.”

“I had a bit of a wait at the counter as all the staff were busy. When I was served, which in reality was probably only after a five minute wait, the guy at the counter was great. Turns out we're both fans of the Fuji X series and in fairness he didn't have a very difficult job selling me an XT-10! I just wanted to have a first hand look at the camera before forking out eight big ones for it. The chap spent a good amount of time explaining the features of the camera to me and even threw in a little extra when we agreed the sale. I much prefer to buy these kind of goods from an actual shop rather than on-line as I know if there are any issues I can just go back and speak to someone face to face, rather than having to cough up postage etc. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Calumet to anyone who cares about photography.”

“The service was fairly fast and efficient. Ordered the monopod on a Friday afternoon and it arrived on Tuesday. Great value as I saved over £50 from other stores. Would definitely use Calumet again.”

“Ordered a spare camera battery on Friday by regular delivery. Received it a few minutes later than the 2 hour window I was texted I should get it on Monday afternoon, and all correct.”

“On-line ordering and delivery very good. I need 35mm camera film. Prices are very competitive and mostly cheaper than other suppliers.”

“My purchase was made by telephone. The enquiry was dealt with politely and my questions answered professionally. The purchase, a Canon 24mm f 2.8 stm lens, was delivered free of charge the next day. All at a realistic price. Always a pleasure doing business with Calumet.”

“On entering the Glasgow store, we weren't greeted with a hello. We were asked later if we needed help though. On first appearance the store is very tatty and sparse looking in stock and decoration. It wasn't clear exactly where things were so I think more signage is needed for customers who have never been before. On asking some advice on lens specs in stock to buy, the gentleman was helpful but I couldn't help feel like I was a beginner and I didn't know what I was talking about. I felt that when I asked about Canon L lenses I was almost looked upon like "do you realise the cost of these and that they are professional lenses sir?!". At one point, the member of staff dealing with a 'pro photographer'. I say pro, he had a big case with lots of things in it. I can only say he seemed to get more attention and respect. He interjected in our conversation a few times with some advice but again I felt as If I was a lesser photographer in the room. I own a business that specialises in design, photography and videography throughout the UK and have a series of full frame Canon cameras and L lenses for this reason and to be honest I am not sure why I would want to visit the Calumet store again unless it was something I needed quickly. Overall I feel the store and staff in general are very off putting and it needs a breath of fresh air to welcome and keep new custom. To note, I visited the Calumet store when it was in the centre of Glasgow and felt the same then. I took the decision to give the shop a second chance and can only say my thoughts have been confirmed again.”

“Excellent service as usual. Still need to sort out the VAT calculations though as I end up paying more than the price advertised. (Only a penny but still....every penny counts!)”

“Great efficient service from Alex at Calumet Glasgow, coffee and biscuit provided whilst he prepared my paperwork and good banter. Good deal on purchases. Great to have a face to face discussion re equipment rather than a web page...”
