I ordered a Lowepro 100AW bag from this company. I received a Paypal confirmation but never received an order confirmation from the company nor did any order show in my WaltersPhotoVideo account. After a couple of days, I queried whether they had received my order but there was no immediate response forthcoming. A further couple of days later I received a Paypal refund with "sorry no longer available" tagged in the notes. A not point at all have I received a reply from this company. At... (read more)

Going on from this, I have read reviews on other sites that speak of store closures with this company. I also note that before these last two "one star" reviews, it has been almost five months since anybody reviewed them.
Something not quite right, buyer beware and make sure you use Paypal.
Written on: 16/04/2013
Unfortunately due to some tchnical issues with oyr new website we are unable to see new paypal orders through our normal backend, this in conjunction with problems marrying over 5000 stock lines to our stock database, we have unfortunately left this particular customer down. It isnot ourintention to do so. However the customer complains that he was not well informed, but the fact is that when the stock discrepancy was discovered they received a full refund immediately rather than lead them up the garden path that the bag would be delivered in a timeley manner as we would expect our customers to deserve. With regard to store closures; I'm sure that your are aware of Jessops closing over 190 stores recently, which is indicative of the current state of the photo retail industry. Mainly due to winig customers demanding the earth at a penny cheaper. However the redundancies and store closures our business have undergone positionour business in a far stronger financial situation, so please stop scare mongering because you didn't get your bag.

Infact, just finished bath time with the kids, I've got the bags on order, when one comes in you can have it for free. Happy?
Written on: 16/04/2013
I don't need freebies, just a little courtesy.
What I cannot understand is why you never bothered to email me the above and I would have waited for the bag. Communication these days is free.
It is a shocking business model to only reply to customers whenever you receive a poor review. Had I not written exactly what I had experienced, you would have not bothered to explain your technical issues.
There are plenty of businesses out there that can supply me with my bag, but for now I am just using an old 110 AW, it is easier than disappointment.

I rang Walters Photo Video after being let down by another company (the adapter I had purchased was actually out of stock and not available, it took a week and a phone call to find this out). As I already had the filters and I was hoping to use them for a specific trip I called Walters at 3pm and asked could they do next day delivery - answer, yes they could, no problem. I ordered it around 3.30, my adapter was sent Special Delivery and with me the next morning. Result - one very happy... (read more)

Struggling to find a certain quick release & adapter (MH 631) I'd called so many places, finally falling upon Walters. They had 2 in-stock and shipped one out to me right away, bumping me up to next-day delivery for convenience. Item was delivered bang on estimated delivery time the next morning! I came back to Walters straight away as soon as I needed my next purchase. Be it only 1 day after the QR order, shame I hadn't planned ahead to save on delivery costs. I'll be back again soon no...

Replacement for one that was shredded by a friends dog! So I already knew I was getting a good product! Can be used as phone or camera case. Durable (but not dog proof!) looks good, protects your item from dings and scratches in your bag/pocket. Magnet closure and caribiner means you can clip it to anything eg belt or lanyard. Service and price from Walters was excellent. Couldn't believe how fast it arrived! (read more)

I needed a screen protector for my Canon 7D and found that Walters Photo Video Ltd had the cheapest price for the Giottos SP8401. Add to this the cheap cost of postage and packaging by using the large letter choice, I thought this was an excellant price. Delivery was described as 3-5 days and it came in 2 days. Couldn't ask for a better service. As for the screen protector, I bought this make as I have read it's the best on the market and used by professionals. (read more)
