Great service from a Yorkshire based company

Ordered a nice photo album at a great price with a considerable amount off. Album arrived quickly and I'm very pleased with the quality of it. I would not hesitate to order from Harrison Cameras again. Great people to do business with.

I bought a Fujifilm X-T50 S/H with a 12 month g'tee. Fine until I needed to claim, as there was was a minor fault. Fujifilm suggested that I return the camera to them. The camera was repaired at no charge as a 'gesture of goodwill'. I did e-mail Harrison Cameras four times and got no reply. I wrote to their office In Chesterfield and again no reply, but to be fair that could be the Royal Mail. I do not rate a company on how good it is when you buy but how good they are when things are not right.

My husband purchased some picture…

My husband purchased some picture frames from this company.
They turned out to be extremely difficult to fit the pictures into, and the glass in the frame was so flimsy it broke while being fitted.
He rang the company to ask for a refund, explaining why he wanted to return them. They were rather belligerent and refused to pay the postage for the returned items, saying that they didn't care about unfavourable reviews. 'We have plenty of good ones'.
So all in all Harrisons is not impressive when a customer has a problem with their products.

Genuine and extremely well informed Harrisons team.

Decades of collective experience both as photographers and with the equipment they sell mean that the staff are a genuine and extremely well informed sales team. Face to face they are friendly, knowledgeable and also prepared to think creatively to find the best solution to customers needs. Full marks.

Customer Returns

Ordering and delivery of items was fine and as expected. As a small business i can understand and accept the returns policy amendments of:
- 14-day period for returns of goods (paid for at senders own cost)
- T&Cs returns policy of a deduction to apply to unsellable goods.

However I was slightly surprised to have been notified of a 20% reduction to a returned item due to missing tissue-paper surrounding the item (a scrapbook), meaning the item was un-sellable and the company reserved right to apply the returns policy.

Against the value of £20 a 20% deduction for tissue-paper replacement this on value seems ridiculous, and I can only comment that there is no flexibility or customer experience within the organisation.

Thank you for your feedback.
Please allow me to explain our policy in more detail. We offer a full refund with 14 days on all new orders if the item is returned to us in 100% new condition. We are very picky about this, not because we want to, because we don’t think it fair to resell an item to the next customer at a new price if the product is not 100% brand new. The tissue paper for a photo album is very important; over time it helps save the wear and tear of the cover. It would have been unfair to sell this item as new to the next customer, their experience of this product would have been un satisfising.
I can assure we do not make money from this policy. In fact, it costs us. We sell the item at the price we refund it at. Then we must cover our admin and credit card costs.
We are here to serve you for all your photographic needs, and we do so with pride and I’m sorry you feel let down on this occasion.

Very knowledgeable staff

Very knowledgeable staff, helped me in choosing a new camera. Mention here to those who assisted me on my 3 visits - Sian helped in explaining the different types, later Jonathan gave helpful info on lenses, storage, help guides etc, Natalie when I returned after buying a camera and couldn't connect it to my phone! All customer focused, patient, no pressure. Great selection in the shop, good pricing on comparison. Great service, well done!

Damaged on receipt

Damaged on receipt, glass broken in two areas but inferior quality, flimsy
back. You would have to take the whole back off if you wanted to change a photo.
The glass doesn't sit properly in each photo section, so can move around
and doesn't seem stable. It seems you would have to stick the photos on the one mount sheet to display as the photos can't sit in the individual frames. The glass could fall out / dislodge easily. Seems pointless.Not sure the hook on the back of the flimsy cardboard backing would hold the weight of the frame when wall mounted. Very disappointing.! Ihave bought several in the past elsewhere as gifts with each having its own photo box and access. This one sadly is ineffective.
Refund given but I have informed them that the style of frame with loose glass is more likely to break in transit! Needs a review.

Apologies that your order arrived damaged. did you contact our customer services. I'm having trouble finding your name on our system. Would you reach out with the order details we so can put this issue right please.

Thanks for sending your order details in. I've investigated this product, and we have sold well over 1000 units and not come across this issue before. Therefore, it must be a manufacturer fault on the unit you received. I send my apologies for the inconvenience!

I can see the order was refunded in full. I can assure you there is nothing wrong with this product in general, unfortunately you get the odd faulty unit. if you contact our customer service they would offer you a discount on your next order.

Harrison Cameras 100% Perfect service from Sheffield

100% Perfect customer service from Harrison Cameras, who I had not heard of, and who popped up in a search for a Fuji GF 20-35 zoom lens, which was listed as 'IN STOCK' by Einfinity and was cancelled next day NOT IMPRESSED this was also very sensibly priced, arrived exactly as described, in flawless condition and with one years guarantee, just like the equally excellent Park Cameras in Burgess Hill in Sussex, the lens is just perfect for my needs, the FREE next day delivery by Ahishek at DPD, was also flawless, now that MPB has got greedy and is NOT offering FREE next day delivery, a serious retrograde step, I will be checking these fellahs out as standard, when next in need! Highly recommended!!!!

Excellent Service, Great Prices

Flawless customer service is hard to find these days and Harrison Cameras earns my 5 stars. Part exchange was very good, better price than anywhere else for used, and there's a real knowledgeable person to talk speak with. Within 4 days my part exchange was complete and new camera arrived. There aren't that many photographic retailers around so please don't hesitate to use them with confidence.

Great service.

Good selection of what I was looking for. Good and very competitive prices, always got some offers on. Helpful staff, had a problem applying a discount code (my error I hasten to add) but quickly put right by Caroline,thanks. Next day deliver if ordered by 2pm, DPD delivered my last purchase and was kept well updated with delivery schedule.

Worth Braving Storm Floris !

Such a joy to find somewhere that still offers proper good customer service. Having bought online before now had chance to visit in person. Was not disappointed, with staff member Rachel Rawson giving first class advice on finding a bag for my camera ( which I didn’t bring with me - doh! ). With her help soon found two that fitted my requirements in the budget I had in mind. Well pleased with my purchases departed Harrison Camera’s car park to return to the hotel. Where the camera was very happy with it’s new bag. Well done Harrison Cameras !

Hi Mike,

Thanks for reaching out.

You're right – we switched to a new website platform last November. If you've created a new account, that's great news! You can now use this account both online and in-store.

Please be assured that your purchase history is still securely in our records. While it can't be displayed on the new platform at your end, we can easily access it. If you need any old transaction details or have any problems, please don't hesitate to call our customer services team.

We understand this isn't ideal, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this transition has caused. Unfortunately, our previous website reached its end of life, and moving to a new platform was our only option.

Thank you for your custom.

All the best,

Michael
