“Bought a used Panasonic camera. Was a little wary because there were no photos, just a B+ rating. Chose economy delivery. It arrived extremely fast, and I'm delighted with the camera - it was in excellent condition exceeding the B rating as far as I am concerned. I've used Wilkinson a couple of times before when I've spotted items at competitive prices and was pleased with their service. They aren't high in the hit list when doing a Google search but worth keeping in mind for the future.”

We hope you enjoy using your 'new' equipment. Kind Regards Wilkinson Cameras

“Have been using Wilkinson Cameras in Burnley for decades now. You simply cannot beat the customer service of face-to-face experts and fellow camera enthusiasts. The online purchase was reliable and helpful too. I’ll be back for more lenses soon, I’m sure.”

“Purchasing and service through to product delivery was good however the product purchased is not as good as I would have liked it to be. The lens works, although I need to do some more tests as it isn’t as clear as I would like, and so just need to make sure that it’s not me. My main issue is that this lens is so big it needs to be tripod mounted, the standard size plate screws will not work as the top threads in two out of the three mounting holes in the lens foot have been stripped, so I have had to order longer screws in the hope that they will work, I know the lens is second hand but was not expecting this kind of damage with nothing about it in the description”

Good Afternoon, Thank you for your feedback. With regards to our preowned equipment we are very stringent in how we grade them, the particular lens that you had purchased is graded condition D so in good condition however it will be obvious with regards to signs of usage and may have marks/scuffs. The lens is also a very large telephoto lens only really suited for tripod usage using the longer plate due to the size/weight. Customers are more than welcome to contact us with regards to more information/images regarding preowned items. We had noted that your are close to one of our stores so do pop in and the team will be happy to assist and getting you to the correct type of set-up, or recommending a lens which is more suitable. Kind Regards Wilkinson Cameras

Good afternoon Scott, We tried to contact you by phone and a voicemail was left asking you to get in touch. This was at approximately 13.09pm a couple of hours after your order was placed. Your payment was cancelled and refunded to the original payment method at 16.35pm the same day. We have not "take(n) your money" as you infer in your review. At 16.56pm you were sent and email with the below order update comments included: "Hi, Thank you for placing your recent order. Unfortunately, we will not be able to fulfil this order. Certain anomalies have arisen with this order which we have not been able to satisfactory understand and as such the order will be cancelled and the monies refunded to the original payment method. Kind regards, Wilkinson Cameras" You can see that we tried to contact you in various ways and gave you ample time to get back in touch with us. On the day you placed your order, a second, identical order was placed to your address under a different name. Upon speaking to a person using the phone number on this second order, for the exact same products, we asked why two identical orders had been placed to one address. It is most unusual for a household address to buy 10 matching scanners. The person on the phone said that no one else had placed an order and didn't seem at all concerned or confused that someone was using his address and had placed an identical order. This person was told that their order would be cancelled due to the unusual nature of the two orders. They didn't seem at all phased by this either. Unfortunately, the activity surrounding these two orders is very unusual and highly suspicious. Where there is any doubt about the authenticity of an order, further checks will be carried out and the order cancelled where necessary. It was assumed that the address is operating as a mail forwarding operation or similar - you will note in our Terms & Conditions that "We will not deliver to mail forwarding companies and orders using a mail forwarding provider address for delivery will be cancelled without notice." We did, in this case, provide notice. Regards, Wilkinson Cameras
