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

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.

Sigma 150-600mm Lens

A really great Company to deal with. I received enormous help from them in getting the 5yr Warranty & the Spring Cashback promotion of €100 from Sigma Europe. I had difficulty (late applications due to illness) trying to register and so on in late July - But in fairness Photospecialist.ie Sorted all issues promptly. I will definitely buy from them again and recommend others to do likewise.

Return policy is vague, I bought an incorrect item for my son and the cost to return was half the cost of the item. I could not see the return policy on the website, which meant I had to email my enquiry to get information. I know there is a cost to all businesses, but a little more transparency would be helpful. I am a returning customer as they have a wide choice of super products for photographer/videographers… it’s a shame, otherwise 5 stars would have been my rating

Satisfied with Print Quality, but Delivery Delays

I purchased the Epson EcoTank ET8550 printer on October 28, 2023, and I would like to share my experience with this purchase. Firstly, regarding the printer itself, I am extremely satisfied. The print quality, especially for photos, exceeded my expectations – the colors are vibrant, and the details are sharp. The automatic double-sided printing feature is an additional benefit that greatly facilitates work. The printer perfectly fits my needs, both for home use and for small office tasks. However, I must mention an aspect that was a source of stress. Namely, the order fulfillment time. I expected the delivery to take up to 4 business days, but on the fifth business day, not having received the printer yet, I contacted the store. The response came from an Irish customer service address, informing me that a reply might take up to 3 business days. This caused me concerns about whether I would receive the printer before the holidays. Eventually, the printer arrived on December 11, 2023. In summary, despite some issues with the delivery time, I am very satisfied with the purchase. The Epson EcoTank ET8550 meets all my expectations in terms of quality and functionality. I would recommend it to others, but I would also advise the store to work on improving communication and predictability of delivery times.

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Good to read that the printer shows nice results. I hope you enjoy using the printer. Sorry to read that you were not well informed about the delivery. Because the package has to travel quite a bit, it can sometimes take a bit longer, especially around this time of year. Sorry again for the inconvenience but nice to read that everything went well.

Exceptional Service and High-Quality Tripod Purchase

I recently purchased a tripod from Photospecialist.ie, and I must say that my experience has been nothing short of outstanding. From start to finish, the service provided by this online retailer has been exceptional. Now, let's talk about the tripod itself. The quality of the product exceeded my expectations. It was evident that Photospecialist.ie takes pride in curating a collection of top-notch photography gear. The tripod's build was sturdy, durable, and felt premium in my hands. It provided excellent stability, even in challenging shooting conditions, and the adjustable features were smooth and precise. Delivery was prompt and efficient. The tripod arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. I was impressed by the attention to detail and the care taken to ensure the product's safety during transit. Overall, my experience with Photospecialist.ie has been fantastic. They offer a wide selection of high-quality photography equipment, provide excellent customer service, and deliver products in a timely manner. I highly recommend Photospecialist.ie to anyone looking for professional photography gear. They have definitely earned my trust and future business.

Purchase was easy but online auto-address feature is a problem

Purchase was easy and packaging also very quick. The auto-address function on the web page needs refining. After changing my address to the correct address, the online system decided this was not correct and changed to an incorrect address and town. I contacted the vendor, whom should have been able to instruct the courier to change this but told me I had to contact the courier instead and arrange to collect!! My package eventually arrived after bouncing back and forth between sorting centers. Had it not been for the Eir-code, the package would have been lost or returned to sender. The webpage is advertised as an Irish .ie website (misleading) but shipping and product are not located in Ireland. I received the product in good order and well packaged.

I am sorry to hear that this didn't go as planned. Once the order has been send, we can not change the address. It needs to come back first, so we can change the lable. But I am glad to hear that it arrived in good order. We are a company Kamera Express located in The Netherlands, this is also mentioned on the website. We have take over Photospecialist and due to currency and not to confuse the customer, we kept the website.

Nikon Z fc kit & 5 year Warranty

I purchased the Nikon Z fc kit and I love it, reminds me of my Pentax Super Me days with all the Manual controls and settings. Not only was the price really good, but the 5yr Warranty definitely helped me in my decision to buy this kit. This is my second purchase from this company and to tell the truth I'm also waiting for the Ftz adapter to arrive - So I say thanks to Photospecialist and if you keep up bringing out these great offers and prices you'll be around for a long time...
