“I ordered camcorder september 2018. Paid whole amount (8500£)
Item never show up. I have called, emailed several times.
They lied everything. They said that item is in stock.
No I have waited my refund 6 months!
Every time Jonh Preston says that Hi will get things sorted.
Nothing happens.
Byuers be aware! They just steel your money!”
“This company are very poor. I placed an order on 15/11/18 08:45am next day delivery. Simply put, they had already sold the item I ordered and didn't tell me until 4.30pm after I kept contacting them on phone and email.
But what is alarming is that I gave an honest review elsewhere and H Preston Media retaliated by searching me on the internet with my details I used to place an order, they linked me with another business and placed a fake review with a psuedo account despite us never providing a service to them. What's more they have reviewed themselves on Google with this same Pseudo account which is Fraudulent.
If that's not bad enough, they also disclosed my personal details from the order I placed for all the public to see on another review forum. This fortunately got removed after I complained as a breach of privacy policy.
If it was only a bad purchasing experience I probably would not have bothered reviewing here. But since they resorted to this behaviour then this leaves me no choice. I have never experienced this kind of unprofessional behaviour before. It's as though it became personal, and not professional. For an established company to behave in such a disgraceful immature way should cause anyone to stay away.
God forbid should you review them negatively as they find you and harass you to discredit you in any way they can in retaliation.
Unfortunately, there is not much legally that can be done, so I feel I should warn as many people as possible about their attitude. I am sorry I ever tried to order a product from their shop now.”
“Having a difficult experience with this supplier, shop elsewhere or use PayPal. Issue is still ongoing and not refunded as of 24 SEP 2019 (purchase 21 AUG 2019, over 1 month).
Please use PayPal or similar when buying online from this seller. Ordered a cinema camera online 21 Aug listed as 'in stock'. Then received an update stating the camera was not in stock, but would be delivered Weds next week. Over the following weeks, despite on / off email communication, the camera never arrived despite promises.
They mentioned it had shipped but could supply no tracking despite repeated requests. A dispute was raised via PayPal Sep 10th and the seller cancelled and refunded the order next day. However, the refund did not complete due to insufficient funds in the sellers account or was cancelled directly. After some more nudging the seller started a 2nd refund which also did not complete.
Have now had to escalate with PayPal although the seller is communicating but how many times do you let someone break their promises? Have lost count now. Shop elsewhere.
The seller did communicate but only after prompting. Possibly just one of those things but please, please use PayPal or similar if buying online from this merchant. My advice is to avoid.”
“I Phoned this company after seeing their excellent web page and their really competitive prices. They were the cheapest price I found on the internet. So pleased I bought through this company they were so extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble, I bought a Canon C100 Mark 2 and accessories they really went above and beyond to make sure I was informed at every step where my goods were and they advised me what was the best product for me. I spoke to John Preston the owner who was extremely helpful and he emailed me at every step keeping me informed as to when I would receive my order. Andy Guest their Tech Guy was also very knowledgeable and really couldn't do enough to help. All in all if you are after purchasing any type of media equipment give these guys a call, I would most definitely recommend.”
“Purchased a Sony PXW-FS7 best deal I could find and a great company to deal with I spoke to Andy and he did me a fantastic deal Thanks I would always recommend H Preston”
