Not actually bought anything from them yet as the items I wanted were out of stock and was desperate to get them pre Christmas so tried elsewhere without luck. Decided to wait and order via the website but it has been down every time I’ve looked (inc Now). Prices seem very good for what I want so am going to try them, if the site comes back up and will report back

Happy that you’re happy, and glad you took the time to comment, but as I say the real measure is in how problems are dealt with, Bristol Cameras didn’t deal with this one well

Site looks up for me by the way

I’ve bought three cameras in past 2 years at BC including one in past month and have had no probs whatsoever. One was by ‘phone and two over net. Delivery very prompt and price as good as anywhere. I like their site which is informative and they answer questions promptly and correctly (one was a detailed one about a kit lens which required detailed knowledge). I guess that there will always be the occasional problem but BC is my first choice by a long way. Now I’m worried to see their site is down.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! Order confirmation, then nothing for days, have to chase up by calling an 0844 number and NO email address anywhere on their site.

Then emailed to say the camera I ordered is out of stock (after previously telling me it was being “picked” from their warehouse.

Pursuaded by slick sales guy to change to different (more expensive camera) which he was “looking at”. Expected it to be shipped the same day, you guess: NOTHING.

Rang next day to be fed some nonsense about my order being in a queue (it was, by then, a week old) but that he would “expedite” it.

Then, a week later, my order declined because my card billing address did not match (have lived at the same address for 30 years!).

Good, and glad you took the time the post here to address the balance, I fully appreciate that good customer service is often rewarded with silence.

That said good service *should* be the norm, and the real measure of a company is how they deal with mistakes, not dealing with them just makes things worse.

I have had exactly the opposite experience with this company- had very helpful advice regarding an underwater camera system- not in stock as new model- was ordered- arrived with them- promptly notified – and delivered quickly- also some good after sales advice on accessories etc.

At absolute best they are incredibly naive, and just don’t get ecommerce, but they’ve been round too long, so I assume they just don’t care :-/

I went to Bristol Cameras today to purchase a Olumpus XZ-1. When i asked to check the price i was told a price higher than that advertised on thier website. When i queried this, the explanation was that with the webprice they expect that you will be paying the £10 postage. I was not offered the camera at the webprice, so left and will probably order elsewhere. Could it be that the 0844 number brings in so much revenue that they didn’t need my £300 purchase. They lost this sale and all future ones from me.
What annoys me most is that the shop address is advertised on thier website, but you can’t purchase thier goods at these prices. I agree avoid and go elsewhere.
