Hi Eddie, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear the light wasn’t what you expected. Having looked into this, the Phottix M200R SE and its included accessories seem to have been supplied exactly as specified by the manufacturer and as shown on our website. From your comments in our email conversation, it sounds like the issue may be around how some of the included items, such as the strap and diffuser, are fitted or used. We’re always happy to help with this, and one of our team, Carlie from our Birmingham store, will be in touch directly to guide you through how these accessories work so you can get the most out of the light. If there’s anything that seems to be faulty, or could be clearer in the product listing or instructions, please let Carlie know, and we’ll also take that on board and feed it back to the manufacturer. If the product still isn’t right for you, you’re of course welcome to return it for a refund, and we'd be happy to assist you with that process. Best regards, The Flash Centre Team

“great product, delivered quickly, but way to much packaging, I understand the need to protect item but it was a box inside a bigger box with lots of shreaded card, the waste filled my black wheelie bin,”

Hi Ross, Thank you for the review, and I’m really pleased to hear the product arrived quickly and safely. I appreciate your comments about the packaging as well. The reason we tend to be quite generous with protective packaging is that much of the equipment we sell is professional gear that customers often need for time-sensitive jobs. Making sure items arrive undamaged is absolutely critical, so we err on the side of extra protection rather than risk something being damaged in transit. That said, we do try to keep our environmental impact in mind and use recyclable materials wherever possible, including cardboard boxes and paper-based void fill rather than plastics. Hopefully most of what you received was able to go straight into the recycling bin. Thanks again for your feedback and for choosing The Flash Centre. Best regards, Mike The Flash Centre

“Placed an order and it wasn't shipped for over a week... It was then marked as expectied by Royal Mail for 3 days. I was issued a refund out of nowhere which then took a further 4 days. No explanation”

Hi, thank you so much for your honest feedback. Whilst it's never nice to read a negative review, it is so important to us to learn about the things that occasionally go wrong, so we can do our best to continually improve and perfect our service. I’ve tried reaching out via email, but haven’t heard back, so I wanted to make sure I closed the loop from our side. After speaking with our warehouse and reviewing the tracking history, it appears Royal Mail returned the parcel to us marked as “rejected by recipient”. From what you described in your review, it sounds like that this wasn’t actually the case. Our warehouse unfortunately took that status at face value and assumed the return had been requested, so the order was refunded once the parcel came back to us. In hindsight, we should have contacted you to double check before issuing the refund, and I’m sorry that didn’t happen. We’re still relatively new to offering Royal Mail as a delivery option (we've been exclusively UPS for years but had been getting quite a few customer requests for Royal Mail also, so now we offer both), so this has been a useful learning experience for us and something we’ll be keeping a closer eye on in future. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Feedback like yours genuinely helps us improve the way we handle situations like this going forward. Kind regards, Mike The Flash Centre

Hi Chris, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this 5-star review. It really means a lot, especially as I know your wife initially had a less positive experience, which I’m not afraid to acknowledge. Whilst it’s never nice to receive negative feedback, we take it seriously and use it as an opportunity to improve. We’re human and not perfect, but we do our best to look after our customers, so it’s genuinely appreciated when you give us the chance to put things right and share a positive follow-up experience. I’m really glad I could help you find the right camera bag, and thank you again for choosing us. We’d be very happy to help with any future purchases. Best wishes, Mike
