Very small part organised which was delivered in cardboard boak approx 6 x 4 inches. As a result had a 45 minute round trip to collect a courier parcel that should have been in an envlope that could have been placed through the letterbox.

Ordered on a Saturday for next day delivery, paid £4.99. I expected it to arrive on the Tuesday as it was bank holiday on the Monday. It didn't arrive until Wednesday afternoon. Shame as I missed out on some photography work that I needed it for. I called on Tuesday to enquire where the order was and was told that a Saturday was not a normal working day to place an order and this was why it came a day later than I had expected :( Jane

I called to order a new Fuji XPro2 for my company Radway Commercial Photography. The advisor I spoke to was great. The camera body wasn't in stock, so it was placed on back order. The camera arrived sooner than expected. The gent I spoke to was very professional, and clearly interested in supporting his client needs. Good job. I'm still waiting for the Fuji grip for the camera, but I'm sure that'll arrive soon. I'm hoping for consistently good service - which can be something of a novelty these days.

Initially very helpful, however the Bristol store tried to sell me a display model that was clearly used for the full £2500. Not a good first impression. I was then promised a next day replacement shipped to my house which took 2 more days, rather annoying and makes you consider using in the future.

Always nice to come in and have a chat. Needed a replacement part to my boom stand that I had lost, was pleasantly surprised to find they had spare parts in stock and at pocket money prices. Thank you

I had an order confirmation, but nothing to say that the order had been shipped and no tracking. It all arrived fine, but it would have been good to know who the courier was and when it was arriving.

1st time to the photography show, I had already done my homework on the upgrade I was going to buy, I. E. EOS 70D, and I had identified Calumet as my startING point. The staff were extremely knowledgeable, curious and very patient, I was very surprised at how many people were very specific on the equipment they were going to buy yet I witnessed extremely good questioning by staff when a customer was undecided, which can be a salesman's dream, but your salesmen were very pocus seductive on helping your customer buy the correct equipment for there specific need. The only observation which would help the sales staff would be to have less vertical column displays, and have a couple more tills to pay at, as we had to question and move to other counters twice. I hope feed back helps. Regards Russell

I found the staff to be very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable regarding my purchase and with other queries I had. I would recommend Calumet Belfast to anyone with an interest in photography whether hobby or pro.

Really pleased with my new Manfrotto monopod ordered at the Photography Show. Staff were very helpful and efficient. It arrived within the 7 days quoted to me on the day, well packaged and in perfect condition.

Damaged my Canon 6D. Have used Calumet before for purchasing and been impressed - A bit more expensive than mail order but you have a dialogue with people who know what they are talking about. Took camera to them. Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and repair completed in reasonable time. No sense of being ripped off - their aim was to minimize the cost to me. Would certainly use again and I strongly recommend to others.

I always have and always will do all my photography business with Calumet. They are professional, courteous and highly knowledgeable...and very local to my place of work. I had a great replacement experience with Calumet recently. I purchased a Canon 5D III at the Photography Show. It turned out to be faulty. I popped into the store in Drummond St. had it checked out and it was promptly replaced with a new one the following lunchtime. All the time, i was dealth with courteously and with a smile. I will be buying a few L-series lenses from them soon and am very much looking forward to it.

Great backpack. I have a DSLR plus three zooms 16-35, 70-300 and 150-600 plus a tripod and this means its a heavy load. Well organised storage and functional design make this an essential tool for carting your kit to any location.

I bought a flash stand and bracket at the Photoshow because of the quality of the equipment favouring it in front of cheaper options. The staff were extremely helpful and spent some time looking for the equipment which had sold out and arranged for it to be shipped to my home address. Many thanks Calumet. I look forward to setting up shots at home and further abroad.

Excellent well-informed advice, I was being listened to properly and the advice was based very much on my requirements - there was no pushing towards any particular product for any reason other than what I needed.
