Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 567 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the store staff for being exceptionally friendly, professional, and helpful during their in-store visits and expert consultations. Consumers also highlight that the overall ordering process is straightforward, and online purchases usually arrive promptly the next day in perfect condition, matching descriptions. Conversely, a small portion of people felt let down by shockingly slow delivery times and extended dispatch dates that caused considerable frustration and annoyance. Some people also mentioned that small items were shipped inside unnecessarily large boxes filled with excessive packaging paper, creating extra disposal work afterwards.

Dreadful dreadful dreadful customer…

Dreadful dreadful dreadful customer service. Wont buy from here again. i thought i woukd support a shop as the high street is dying, but im afraid ill be back to Amazon after that experience.

Edit. After trying to contact Jessops for 4 days they now reached out because i put this on trustpilot.
Jessops. I know what the issue is , so theres no point you saying on here the address is incorrect. I know. Ive tried over and over again to reach you and amend, as your systems missed off my house number. I have received repeated random photos from the delivery drivers over several days which are of lots of different houses, none of which are mine, followed by emails telling me i wasnt in. Yesterday the driver even called me to ask for the number, and then went to the wrong house. 1 minute after our conversation i received the email telling me i wasnt in. Ive spent hours on the phone trying to reolve, continually receiving contradicting information and was explicitly lied to on Saturday. Ive been told to contact jessops to get the details changed but its impossible to reach anyone to get it changed. It shouldnt get to the point where i put something on trustpilot to get a reponse.
PS i paid extra for delivery on Saturday, which is now 4 days ago. I still have no prospect of the delivery arriving in time. The order is ironically solar eclipse glasses, which won’t wait for delivery, and if i dont get them in time, I’ll be looking for a full refund including the extra i paid for postage. I doubt I’ll still be alive at the next solar eclipse!! What a farce. I bought from jessops as i thought id support a business other than amazon. Fingers well and truly burnt.

Dear Angela,

Thank you for your feedback.

We can see that the delivery address provided on this order is incomplete which is why DPD have been unable to successfully deliver your order.

As a Customer Service Team, if you are having any issues, we are here to help provide support and solutions.

We have searched our systems in full and can't see any correspondence where we have been contacted via email, live chat or on the phone. If we had been contacted, our team would have been more than keen to assist you. Please note, our email is cs@jessops.com and phone number is 020 3322 3387.

We have tried calling you and just emailed to see if we can get the glasses delivered for you tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Solar Eclipse viewing Glasses - Great

We ordered solar eclipse viewing glasses. They arrived in plenty of time and are fully ISO compliant and were provided with a very detailed and helpful user guide.

THROUGH A SET OF GLASSES DARKLY

Description could have been better in terms of construction of glasses and the notification of delivery in terms of leaving Jessops was not as good as most other suppliers. And why a package the size of two combs should need delivery in a box that wouldn't go through a letter box?

Jessops are great, but DPD are destroying their business

Jessops are great, but dpd are failing every delivery, I have caught them out on lies about failed deliveries via our cctv, even the depot manager said the driver was lying about the delivery. This has happened on both my deliveries. Can’t use jessops again because they only use DPD and I don’t trust them. Sorry Jessops

Overall a good experience.

No problem at all with the delivery but to put two flat cardboard elipse viewing eyeglasses in an 8" x 7" x 4" box, with packing paper seemed a little unnecessary, especially as I then had to get rid of the packaging.
A flat card backed envelope would have done the trick.
