The only big problem with the shop is the Irish site is not up to date. The customer service is not available on the contact number and the email address also doesn't work. I had to do a serious investigation to find a proper customer service contact for them, eventually, the info@photospecialist.co.uk email address worked and I got a decent response from their customer service and the item arrived in time in perfect condition.

- the item I ordered was never delivered because it went missing apparently
- I had to chase your reps for updates as I had no idea where the parcel was after 7 days
- I had to follow up after reaching out first for a second update.
All in all very very disappointing experience, never to order anything from you

Disappointed and Surprised how a company like this is still working
I placed an order for a Fujifilm xs10.. weote an email with regards to delivery and address details.. the agent confirmed the same and informed whatever questions were asked.. a few days later i noticed the camera was out of stock soo i wrote back to the agent and was informed the stock was not updated and they do not have the camera in stock and will offer a refund.. this was supposed to be my first camera and such a bad experience from a third class company.. never buy anything from them

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.
I am so sorry to read that your order has gone this way. The stock always takes some time to update, because we also have stores and then the item you wanted, is out of stock.
My colleague tried to cancel the order, but his computer wasn't working, so he had to ask the administration to do so, that is why it took longer.
I am so sorry that this would be your first camera and this was your experience with us and I will contact you via email to see if there is anything I can do for you.

Dreadful
Dreadful. Ordered an item worth over €500 more than 2 weeks ago ( 2 day delivery quoted). To date no sign of the item and no one seems to know where it is . I have sent them emails and, apart from the initial contact, nothing further.

How sad to read that you had this experience. I would like to sincerely apologise for that the investigation of your package took a bit long. The couriers should be given some time to find out what happened.
I see that a refund has been initiated.

Total garbage website. Product was not in stock as listed. Tried to order another product today and the payment software they use keeps rejecting my payment even though my bank has approved it. Total schlock.

They care the bare minimum- honestly if you can you better off using another website. I got a lense form them there and the outer casing was damaged (the lense still functioned). They said I should return it but quite frankly time is an asset and they aren’t any dumber then me so they knew what they were doing when they sent my a damaged lense in a damaged box. Hoping I would not have the time to return it and they were right. They also claim to ship quickly 2-3 day or somthing- just keep in mind they without pause will lie to you.

What a disappointment to read that you think this. We are an official dealer and would never send damaged products. I am pleased to look into how this could have happened with you.

Packing badly packed with one tape along the top of box only. Box was opened at my front door as tape became loose. The people in their packaging dept are pure idiots. Look at the photo and this is the way my box was left at my front door on a rainy day. Notice one piece of tape along the top edge of box. I have brought this to their attention but doubt that they will do anything to rectify this. Also they say that they price match which is a lie because they refused on two occasions with me to price match.

Thank you so for leaving this review Eugene.
However calling people names is not necessary and I have explained twice to you that I will take it up with the correct deparments to improve this.
I understsand that you are disappointed with us, because we can not match the price. We do not promise a low price match, we promise the best price we can give. When company's only have an online shop or maybe 3 fysical shops it is understandable they can lower their prices. And I have send you an email this morning that I would discuss this with my manager and get back to you on this.
Instead of giving me the time to get back to you, you leave another review.

My whole problem started at the checkout stage. I entered my correct address details and when it came to shipping my address was always incorrect as it kept putting my eircode just after my house number and it gave me no confidence that it would arrive at the correct address as requested. I tried to access my account details and change the address from there but I could not access the details due to an error message, cheers

I am very dissatisfied with this company because its description of the product does not correspond to availability. I waited 2 weeks for a refund, 5 days. My birthday gift was spoiled. I'm very displeased. This is the most incompetent company I've ever had in my entire life.

Package lost, did not refund delivery costs.
Package was to be delivered in 2-3 days, paid 10 euro shipping. They lost the package, they did not refund delivery costs? Did not respond when I asked why they didn't.

Wrong plug supplied - and uncontactable Support.
I deliberately went to what I thought was an Irish based supplier, but was sent a monitor with a European style plug.
I tried to contact the email address on the web-site, but my email was returned as undeliverable. I also tried the chat, but that doesn't work either.
This is crazy - so I would not recommend using this supplier.

Bad delivery
I’ve bought a camera 13/11/2023 and I’ve not received yet. More than 10 working days and when I bought, it was saying that the delivery would be in 4/5 working days. I would have plans with that camera, but I had to cancel.
I hope to receive something for apologize because that’s happening is not good.
Thank you

I can see your order and there was a delay with getting the item out of the store. My colleague was not clear about the reason why it was delayed. Your item was send within the 4 days, however DHL kept your package longer in their hold. I am sorry about that. This is sadly not in my control.

Refund processing is extremely slow
Due to the mistake of the 24S staff, I have not received a refund for the wrong item so far; and it has been more than a week since I confirmed the receipt of the returned item.

You sent the wrong sensor cleaner.
I wanted the blue one for Canon but you sent the pink one for other makes.
Just hope there’s little difference.
