Terrible order process. Very poor product protection for the shipping

The order process was terrible. No possible to finish the order from the spanish webpage. Finally, days after, the customer service gave me a payment link (no possible using paypal) and placed the order. The binoculars original box arrived inside another carton box, but filled with "air bags" with no air at all. The binoculars box was completelly free without protection inside the carton box.

Hi Julio,

Many thanks for your review, our sincere apologies that the delivery process went far from ideal. I would like to know if the binoculars arrived in good state despite the lack of protection, and thus have I requested additional information.

Worst shipment experience

The experience, awful. The shipment time it is not what you pay for. The web says 2-3 days and when you call DHL they say 7-9 days.

Photospecialist doesn’t print on the sticker the same address that you fulfill during the buying process.

DHL claims that you are not at home when you are, and you are forced to go to the service point of their choice.

The camera did arrived and well packed. Product wise, perfect. Shipment experience, awful.

How unfortunate that you experienced this with us, which is obviously not what we want. I would like to thank you for taking the time to share this with us so we can work on our service. Especially the bit about us indicating we can deliver with 2-3 days and DHL indicating something else. We have certain agreements with DHL so that we can meet these delivery times. I would therefore like to get in touch with you to find out why the delivery took so long. It's frustrating to read that the address on the label is also not completely correct, I would also like to look into this.
That DHL claims you were not at home and had to drive to a point to collect the parcel is obviously not neat, we will report this to DHL.

I hope we can get in touch so we can sort it out and help you further. Very nice to read that the package arrived neatly packed, of course I wish you lots of fun with your purchases and apologise for all the inconvenience it has caused so far.

One of the very best online stores!

One of the very best online stores!
I have been buying from Photospecialist for years.
They offer a huge range of products at competitive prices and very efficient order processing.
I now live in Spain: shipping cost is very reasonable and delivery time is surprisingly fast so I often prefer them to local stores.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a loyal customer over the years. We're thrilled to know that you consider us one of the best online stores and that you've had positive experiences with our product range, pricing, and order processing.

We're especially glad that our shipping to Spain has been efficient and reasonably priced for you. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we truly value you as a customer.

A bad experience.

Items I ordered were described as being in stock but weren't. When they eventually arrived, one box was correct but although the 2nd box was for the correct item, the content of the box was the wrong item. The invoice was for a lesser amount than I paid because one of the items was omitted. I've been told it will be 30 days before I receive a refund. I wouldn't ever place another order with this disorganised company.

What a shame to read that it went the way it did, the amount will not take 30 days. You have 30 days of return rights. The amount for a credit will be in your account with 2-4 working days.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

The delivery took a long time

The delivery took a long time. I had to wait a week for it. After I ordered, they said it would be here in a few days. I think a week is a very long time

We ship from the Netherlands, it may happen that a shipment takes a bit longer than we agreed with UPS, sorry it took a bit longer to arrive. I hope you enjoy it!

The vanguard Veo backpack is exactly what I needed for carrying fundamental equipment (Olympus gear) as cabin luggage with the 7kg per bag limit, as it’s very lightweight and very portable. Few days for delivery no problems and very good price point

Good service

Good service, the product was well described, arrived on time, and was one of the websites with better price. They can improve their logistics in order to allow better tracking. I definitely recommend this site.

worst online experience

I bought a camera backpack. In the pictures it was announced as it contained the dividers for the camera containers. When I received the backpack (later than expected), it was empty, not as in the website pics. They said as an apology, they would send me 20€ compensation. I asked for a full refund and surprise, no free returns. Delivery from Barcelona to Holland costed me extra 50€!! So I am already loosing a lot of money. Anyway, Almost two months passed and I still received my money back. Customer service replies to my emails but they just keep saying there is a delay on refund!!!! No words!

The lens received does not work

The lens received does not work. I contacted the client assistant department and they kindly proposed me to return the product to get the refund. But I must pay shipping fees which from Spain to the Netherlands are 35 euros :(

Two of the speaker terminal posts don’t work

Two of the speaker terminal posts on the AVR don’t work.
I have done all the trouble shooting with Denon but apparently the Denon AVR is Faulty. Photo specialist has asked me to send the unit for repair, that will take about a month!!.. Not exactly desired when you have bought and paid for an item.
Updated: I’m in contact with Alejandro from customer support. 5 starts to him for good and quick response.
I’m sure I will get the issue sorted with him on Monday, if that is the case I will rectify review and give Photo Specialist 5 stars for good customer care.
So another update: In the end, to not be out of the receiver for a month or maybe more, for a possible repair I have to return it. Now comes the funny
part: Photo Specialist has sent me a faulty product that not is working and I have to pay for the shipping to return it. It is not a voluntary return it is because they have shipped a faulty product.
Last update:
Jara from customer support had been in contact with a supervisor and the will provide me with a shipping label.
Thank you for sorting it out.

Excellent. Very quick delivery

Very quick delivery, small glitch as no e-mail confirmation was initially received but Customer Service resolved immediately and the product arrived on the stated date. Very pleased with quality of the Wotancraft Pilot 7l bag, which fits a Swarovski ATC, some compact bins, and I can hang monopod on it.
