Absolutely diabolical service from this company. I phoned and enquired on Wednesday, if a camera and lens was in stock. I was told yes it was and I could buy it through their website. No problem order it I did and paid for next day delivery. I then received a phone call and was told it was not in stock in that particular shop, but it was in a different branch and I could get it by Friday. I said OK, it didn't arrive on the Friday and I couldn't get it until the next week. I obviously cancelled the order as this shambles could not be allowed to continue. So now I have no camera and no £1100 I paid for it until the refund is processed. If I hadn't have phoned first and asked about stock I would not be so annoyed as mistakes do happen, but as I did I am. In Reply I think you should check your records before you answer as the parcel has been returned to you and a refund issued to my bank. Also this review was requested by email and if I have left three reviews it shows how annoyed I am. As I stated I phoned to check stock was there to be sent if I ordered with next day delivery and the order was placed 15 minutes before cut of time. This would not have been a problem if the stock had been there as I was told.

Good afternoon, This is the 3rd review you have left with regards to this order. As we have now explained on several occasions, the item you ordered was in stock. You can see using the tracking information provided to you that we sent the item to you. Once again I will apologise for the minor delay in its dispatch, which we called you about immediately and refunded your postage charge. You said you were happy with this and your parcel was sent the following day on a Next Working Day service as promised. This would mean the item arriving on the Friday, which it was scheduled to do, but you contacted us insisting the delivery was cancelled as you no longer wanted it and wanted a refund. As requested, the parcel was stopped and returned to us. We issued your refund as soon as it arrived back with us on Monday 13th. Had we not provided tracking proving that we sent a parcel to you, I could perhaps understand you thinking the item wasn't in stock. Your insistence that it wasn't, despite us having to cancel and retrieve the parcel from the courier, is quite baffling. It would have arrived with you on Friday as you had initially said was acceptable until you requested it was cancelled. A copy of our original response on Friday 10th July is below. " The item you ordered and checked on was in stock. We would never claim an item wasn't in stock if it wasn't. However as it was located in a secondary location and the order was placed so close to the cut off point for a Next Working Day delivery, we were unable to get it shipped to you in time. Please accept our sincere apologies for this. As you are aware, the parcel has already been dispatched and is within the ParcelForce system (currently showing an expected delivery date of today Friday 10th July), which is why we are unable to issue a refund until the parcel is returned to us. A request for the delivery to be cancelled and returned to sender has been placed. There is still a chance the parcel may arrive with you. If this happens, please refuse the delivery. Once the parcel is returned, your transaction will be refunded swiftly. Regards, Alex | Wilkinson Cameras"

Well worth the 160 mile round trip to The Chester branch. Very well received and purchased explained. The Staff very pleasant to deal with. In fact I returned to Chester a few Days later and purchased a new Camera bag More than happy to deal with Chester Branch in the future. Just waiting for my new zoom lens to arrive now. Well Done Wilkinsons.
