They had my camera for almost 3 months. Always having to chase them up. Promises made, I was let down all the time. Told it would be ready in 2 weeks, again let down. Needed another part, had to chase them up again to be told panasonic have pulled out and no one is there to fix my camera. It could be months till they get some other people in. Collected my camera now, its not been touched after almost 3 months. So upset and disgusted with them.

Bought a brand new pair of binoculars online. When I received these, there was evidence of wear. Blemishes around the body. Instruction booklet had a fold in it. Eyepieces were dirty. These should never been sent out in this condition.

I bought a Hahnel remote shutter trigger and they charged me £24.99, however when I got home I found the RRP from Amazon and Currys and most other vendors to be only £15.99. That's a price hike of £9 for such a small item, ridiculous. I'll be spending my money elsewhere in future.

I expected good after sales service from London camera exchange Bristol depot, but when returning a faulty fitting that had failed , the response was very negative ,I suggest better staff training, I will never use that store again/

I went into the chesterfield store to spend nearly £2000 on a camera i walked through the door to see a member of staff with a set of binoculars looking at something through the door up the road!? The cameras and equipment are over priced. Was offered just £550 for both my camera and grip on theyre website the have the camera at £940 with 40,000 more shutter actuations than mine then the grip a further £120. So would be making an extra £500 from the sale of my camera in part ex (i put the camera on facebook and it sold in a couple of hours for£900 minus the grip). The staff like to think they know what they are talking about, i would say after ten years in the industry there knowledge is very poor. Save yourself time and money and by from calumet.

You have to buy equipment using the phone and despite repeated phone calls there's never anyone capable to deal with your purchase. Back to e-bay I guess!

Very expensive, and rude service. I was going to buy from them, but when I went in was put off by their attitude, lack of product knowledge and price, I walked out again. Saw a bag for camera - which was marked half ticket price - ticket price £14.99 - so I figured around £7.50 o.k i'll have that. Member of staff said it was a mistake and 14.99 was actual price, their mistake not mine, and refused to sell/honour the price!!! I believe they have to honour their pricing errors. On the whole, all products quite expensive....

I was looking for a compact digital camera. I knew what I wanted, and I wanted to purchase offline so I could try it out first.
I realised it would cost more, and I was allowing for around £50 more than online.
I phoned the London Camera Exchange in Gloucester, and they had the item. They then quoted over £100 more online. When I asked if they could match another high street shop (Jessops), the man was extremely rude to me, and said "the cameras will be gone by the weekend, so your loss", and hung up!
If this is how a small franchise tries to compete with large cheaper high street chains, no wonder LCE Gloucester's prices are high, as I would imagine they have very few happy customers!
