Highly recommend

Excellent service from Jordan at Pro AV. Found what I needed easily on the website, rang the helpline to get some extra information. The phone was picked up quickly and their knowledge was good. I ordered the monitor and it was delivered the next day. Faultless service and great price.

ProAv deliver everything

ProAv is one of the most professional sales companies I use and have used for the last 10years.
Nick and the team always deliver on time every time and are completely transparent on stock and a delivery date. Even when I have been abroad filming in remote locations Nick and ProAv have delivered urgent replacements of kit that has been damaged or failed so they really are a globel source of equipment sales.
ProAv are always my first call everything and they always deliver

Fantastic deal

Fantastic deal, much better value than other UK based companies. I had great friendly communication throughout the process of purchase, packaging and shipping.

False description

The description of 'whats in the box' was not what I recieved. When I brought this to the attention of Proactive they chose to tell me to send the Zoom H5 back to them and have a refund, rather than to send the items that they advertised that came with the recorder to me. This has wasted a lot of my time.

Dear SAL,

Thanks for taking my call earlier. I apologise that the “In the Box” had not been updated with the new contents and can confirm that I have arranged for the missing items to be delivered to you ASAP.

Kind Regards
Kevin

I ordered a camera that I thought was…

I ordered a camera that I thought was in stock but once I ordered it, they emailed me to let me know it was out of stock and would take 10-14 days to deliver.

I contacted them asking to cancel and refund the order, since I wanted the camera for a specific event, and they were so fast and so helpful and refunded me literally within 2 hours. Great customer service :)

Great customer service, competitive pricing, highly recommended.

We have been using ProAV for nearly 10 years and are always my first point of call. Jordan and the team have always been incredibly helpful and on a number of occasions have gone above and beyond to help out wherever possible.

The tutorial review content they put out as well is always great and informative and actually based on evidence as opposed to just a personal point-of-view.

Reliable service from Proav

At Broadcasting Scotland, we have been dealing with Proav for almost 10 years. In that time, they have been our main suppliers for cameras and live broadcast production equipment for the studio and remote reporting.

We will always go to Proav because, we know we can rely on them for advice and service both before and after purchase.

For he past seven years, we have spoken almost exclusively with our account manager, Jordan Ashmore, and it would be fair to say that our positive experience as a Proav customer, is down to Jordan, who is always helpful, particularly when trying to make complex purchasing decisions, when you cannot afford expensive mistakes.

Very convenient for me

Very convenient for me, and they had the camera I needed in stock. Held it for me as I couldn't come in for a day or so. Good service.

So rare to get great customer service these days but Jordan and the team at Proav are exceptional. I've ordered camera kit a number of times from the company and I've never been disappointed. Communication and speed of processing time is brilliant. Thoroughly recommend!

I was kept informed of my order regularly because of a delay from manufacturer. The lady who kept me updated did so very politely and with care. Because of this I will use Pro av for all my future needs.
