“On visiting your Edinburgh store, looking for a flashgun for my Canon camera, I was supplied with a product which was not compatable with my camera. Unfortunately I had disposed with the box it was in and when I returned the flashgun for a replacement they took 15% off the original because it was not boxed. This was the day after I purchased the gun on their recommendation. Not the best of service by a long shot.”

“Excellent service. John (Edinburgh) spent almost an hour going over camera and lenses online with me, comparing prices, explaining grey stock etc. He couldn't have been more helpful with his depth of knowledge.”

“Very easy to use the web site. They had what I wanted in stock, (DxO Optics Pro-10 Elite). It arrived Saturday morning as they said and no damage to the box. Very happy with the software, (Canon seem a little slow in updating there software for new lenses so I went for DxO). I have used Calumets shop in the past, (Drummond St) but this is the first time I have used there web site and was impressed......I will use it again.”

“Very disappointing break from normally good service. I made an enquiry to order some items and discussed the possibility of getting the items delivered the next day, since it was the only day when I'd be able to take delivery. At noon I was assured it would be no problem, so long as the order was made before 3pm - I finished the call by saying that I would reply to the email quote within the hour if I wished to proceed. At 12:45 I replied, asking to proceed with the order and confirmed the next day delivery request. Over the next two hours I phoned three times as I'd received no reply - each time whoever answered the phone could not find the salesman who I'd been dealing with, but a colleague told me each time that an urgent message would be sent to him and that he'd get straight back to me. Each time i explained the urgency of making the order by 3pm. On my fourth call, after a long wait, I was finally put through to the salesman who told me that it was too late to make the order for next day delivery. When I explained my disappointment at his failing to deal with my order he replied "Well, I've been busy dealing with other customers, what can I do?" I'm sure he had been busy, but it wasn't a good attitude. At the very least, there's clearly a problem with staff not communicating between each other and not being able to deal with anything other than the most recent customer. At the worst there appears to be a lack of respect for customers who are spending several thousand pounds with the company. I was eventually able to arrange delivery on a different day, but had to ask a favour of another company to accept delivery on my behalf and then I had to pay for a taxi to bring the items to where I was then working. I'm going to ask Calumet to refund the taxi cost.”

“I went to the Hagley Road store in Birmingham, for a projector lamp for my old Rank Aldis piece of kit. I was delighted with the time and enthusiasm that the two assistants went about the task of taking apart my projector identifying the correct bulb ordering it. The replacement has just arrived. I could not have wanted better service.”

“The service from calumet is without doubt one of the best in the country . The staff have a very good knowledge off all the stores products and are only to willing to offer any help should you need it, this is done without the harassment that you get in some other stores. The range of products is excellent and the staff too, if you wish to go in and browse there is no pressure from them , all in all first class”
