“Ordering the lens I needed was easy via the website even though it was a special order item. The expected lead time of 6-8 days was clearly shown on the site and was also covered in the email confirming the order. Delivery was in fact far faster than expected with the lens being sourced/dispatched on day 3. Delivery was fast and efficient with the manufacturers packing being safely and completely surrounded by protective packaging and another box. Everything arrived in perfect condition. A first rate experience - Thank you”

“Only 4 stars as the packaging was too much. Too much plastic and the box it came in was disproportionately big. I think Wilkinson Cameras could minimise their waste by a lot. Product is great though and it was delivered very quickly.”

Hi David, Thank you for the feedback. Almost all of the packaging we use is packaging we have received our own stock deliveries in. This includes cardboard boxes, packing chips, paper wrap, bubble wrap and air-bag void fillers. It means we sometimes need to use the box size we have available at the time. We re-use these items so that they don't simply get used once and then disposed of. During busy periods we supplement this supply by buying in recycled cardboard boxes. The items we stock come in a myriad of sizes and shapes, but for ease and cost efficiencies we only stock a selection of box sizes. By doing this, not only do we ensure that we recycle as much packaging as we possibly can, but it also helps to keep our costs as low as possible in order to continue offering a free post & packaging option. Any cardboard we receive which is simply too large to be used for customer parcels is either re-purposed or put into our paper recycling container for collection from a local recycling company. Hopefully your local authority will allow you to easily recycle the cardboard box and its contents or perhaps you will be able to reuse the items for any of your own parcels in the future. I hope this sets your mind at ease and that you will consider shopping with us again in the future. Regards, Alex | Wilkinson Cameras

“Fantastic customer service. I placed an order for a telephoto lens that is out of stock everywhere else I looked. Later that day I had a call from Wilkinson Cameras advising that the item would have to be imported and might take longer to arrive so they understood if I would rather have a refund than wait. I explained I was happy to wait. I got an email the next morning to the same effect, apologising and explaining that it may take several weeks for the item to arrive and they understood if I wanted to cancel my order. I sent an email back explaining I was happy to wait. The lens was delivered well ahead of the advised potential wait. Really impressed with the speed of delivery for an imported item, the communication from the company and the availability of the product. I would definitely use Wilkinson Cameras again in future over other suppliers.”

“I spoke to two sales persons. Because of the quality of response of the first person, who helped me to decide on the printer I needed to replace my broken one by providing me with information and availability. This secured the sale. After checking using the information I rang back the next day, A different sales person was not quite as positive and customer friendly.She told me my problems with my account access could only be solved by the technical team. No number given or an offer to put me through. In the end I used the non-account side of your website - as suggested by her. Because of the very good help of the first sales person i was able to make a choice with confidence. I ended up with an award winning printer.”

Good afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I have looked into this via our call records and identified the two people you spoke to. I have highlighted the issues raised with their Manager and they will be addressed. Thank you for overlooking the below standard level of service on your second call and placing your order based on the initial contact. I'm glad you feel that you have made the best choice and I'm happy to hear we could help you to feel confident in making such an investment. It's an excellent choice which will give very professional results. If you would like to get in touch to get to the bottom of any obline account access problems then please send an email to sales@wilkinson.co.uk and I will do my best to address them for you so you don't have any issues in the future. Regards, Alex | Wilkinson Cameras

“I have to say that I prefer to visit a shop where you can get to know the staff and receive advice as well as make a purchase. Unfortunately the stores are presently closed so one must go online. The advice is still available, the stock position also. I have made two purchases recently. One was an expensive lens in short supply which was awaited from the manufacturers. The other was in stock. Both deliveries arrived as promised. Excellent but I still cannot wait for the branches to reopen!”

“I have made two purchases of Hawke Binoculars from Wilkinson cameras in the last three years. One was made at the shop in Preston and a more recent one online because of the Covid 19 lockdown. In both cases, the service I received was first class. The Hawke binoculars are great and excellent value for money. I can thoroughly recommend Wilkinson Cameras.”

“Hello everyone, I recently decided to buy a Diana mini camera and use 35mm film. I couldn't find the Diana i wanted because they were all sold out or just not available to buy. I wouldn't give up and found Wilkinson Cameras website. I rang Wilkinson Cameras and asked some questions about Diana cameras and the film i was interested in. I spoke to a really nice lady who was polite, friendly and helpful. What impressed me the most was the her product knowledge. She knew what she was talking about. I decided to buy a Diana mini and the next day the postman delivered. Wilkinson Cameras are brilliant! Recommend them to anyone. Chris”
