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.
ordered 5 items and was sent 1 single tracking number. All supposedly packed together according to the emailed packing slip. 1 item arrived, 2 days after scheduled date, in its retail box no outer packaging just a label stuck on. boxed arrived damaged, looks like it was dropped as side ripped and crushed. No Irish power lead, only an eu one, so cannot check if item damaged. customer service contacted and no apology and blamed shipping company, while they tried they did not make any attempt to ease my frustration, offer compensation or a replacement. Not good enough.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Delivery was a bit slow. I expected just a few days. My three products were split over three deliveries. That was also not expected. In the end, all of my products arrived and when I queried my order, the staff were more than helpful and responded quickly. Overall, would use them again but will allow more time for delivery... I would otherwise have given 5 starts, but... 4 ain't bad either :)

Sorry it took a bit longer, we see that there was a delay at DHL. Luckily you're still satisfied with your products. We will look into why everything was delivered seperately, because that's not the standard way. Ofcourse, 4 stars ain't bad either, but we still strive for the 5!

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.

Positives: Good choice of products and speedy dispatch.
Negatives: it is not possible to edit your address and the postcode finder that you use for Ireland is not that accurate. My items are always delayed as they go to the wrong address first (you use the Irish Postal service for delivery and they don't use the postcode for delivery)

I am glad to hear that you are satisfied with the product and delivery.
Although it seems that the address goes wrong every time. I will send you an email, so we can try to sort this out, so you will not have this again.
