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

Items arrived in perfect condition. I was supposed to receive a confirmation but got none. Would have felt more comfortable had I received one, especially as it's stated on the site when you place the order. Prices were more competitive than any other website and overall, would be happy to shop here again.

Lack of order confirmation email causes worry

Positives: very good price, item did arrive eventually , professional staff will call you back. Negatives: no order confirmation or shipment confirmation email, worrying. If you call and stay on hold, the call hangs up after 10 minutes, so do request a callback. My expensive binoculars were delayed by nearly a week, and did not arrive for my holiday. Update: they sent a €20 refund to compensate.

No order confirmation received by email and my enquiry wasn't answered. The lens arrived in good time however and when I got onto the uk site, my queries were answered promptly. The Irish site needs to improve their act, but I would order again.

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.

Unacceptable Communication and Website Order Information-

First--the ordered product DID arrive as promised--it was the correct product, in good condition, and delivered on the day promised! So why 2 stars???--The website promised a purchase confirmation within 1-hour of order, or buyer is instructed to contact the company. No order confirmation was received--but it was NOT possible to contact the company through their photospecialist.ie website. The in

Inaccurate Address

For some obscure reason the address on my rather expensive parcel was totally wrong, so wrong the address didn't exsist. The only element of the address that was correct was my post code and locality. Fortunately a person at my local sorting office was familiar with part of the address. The parcel was very nearly returned to sender.

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.

Good service and fast delivery

Good service. Didn't receive the order confirmation email, or the tracking email, but delivery was very prompt, and the support team sent on the missing info at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to read that you didn't recieve the correct plug. This usually is standard in the order. I will send one your way and send you an email. My apologies.

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.
