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.

Great purchase

I bought some solar eclipse glasses. Delivery was fast. I did pay more for it but happy to. Very well packaged.
Glasses were brilliant for an amazing experience.

Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining

£4.49 delivery charge on an item that’s £12.99 was a p*ss take. I unsubscribed from emails but still receiving them which isn’t cool either

Dear Sean,

Thank you for your feedback.

We understand that delivery charges can sometimes feel disproportionate to the value of a product. However, the £4.49 delivery charge was clearly displayed at the time of placing your order, allowing you to review the total cost before completing your purchase. You can check out our store locator if you wish to collect in-store in the future which would avoid a delivery charge: https://www.jessops.com/store-finder

We have contacted our Marketing and IT teams - they will take a look into why you are still receiving emails and ensure that this error is corrected shortly.

We do hope you enjoyed the solar eclipse viewing with your glasses!

Kind regards,

The Jessops Customer Service Team

Very disappointing experience – order still not fulfilled after 13 days

I ordered a Sony 16mm f/1.8 lens from Jessops 13 days ago. The lens was showing as in stock on the website and was also included in a Sony promotional week offering 10% off. I placed the order with Jessops rather than another retailer because I had used them previously and wanted to stay loyal to a shop I had trusted.

Unfortunately, this has turned into a very disappointing experience.

I have now made two follow-up calls, and on both occasions I was told that they were waiting for a delivery containing my order. Each time, the expected delivery seems to be pushed back, and I still have no firm date for when I will actually receive the lens.

What is particularly frustrating is that the lens continues to show as “in stock” on the Jessops website. On both calls I specifically questioned this and was told that the website would be adjusted, this has only just happened.

I had ordered the lens specifically because I wanted to use it to photograph the meteor shower last night. That opportunity has now been missed because I still don’t have the lens.

The 10% promotional offer has also now ended. Had I known at the time that the lens wasn’t actually going to be available, I could have cancelled the order and bought it elsewhere at the same price and with the same offer. Now I’m left waiting for an order with no concrete delivery date, having missed the event I bought it for.

The whole experience has unfortunately left me questioning the accuracy of Jessops’ stock information and, more importantly, has completely undermined my trust in the company. I chose Jessops because of previous experience and loyalty, but after this experience I won’t be making that mistake again.

Very disappointing customer service and a very poor experience from a retailer I previously trusted.

Great service

I ordered eclipse glasses as I had seen an article about the cheap Amazon ones not always protecting your eyes properly and I knew Jessops ones would be good. I was a bit worried in case they took longer than the 2-5 days stated but they arrived really quickly and were fantastic.

Great experience young boy was very helpful in the shop ordered a 50mm Fuji lens came on time
Way better buying from Jessops you can hold and feel the cameras online is too risky
One thing I would say is why don’t Jessops provide chargers with the cameras?
I have a XPro1 luckily the XT2 used the same battery
I will buy again Jessops was where I bought my first Canon EOS 1000n camera in the early 90,still have it working perfectly
