“I just purchased a Canon printer from Calumet and took advantage of their amazing finance offer. The process was very quick and painless. Everything happened just as the sales person said it would and the printer arrived the very next day. Great service. Very happy. I'll be making purchases again, as I have done for over 20 years. Keep up the good work.”

“Great service if a little slow (understandable, though as all staff occupied with customers). Got in trouble with the girlfriend for spending too long chatting to the guy about music. :-)”

“Calumet are consitently reliable with great service, however this time I was disappointed by my experience. In future if there is no stock available please say so on your website. I payed for next day because I needed film stock for a specific delivery date and ended up paying only to then find out I would have to wait for the film to be restocked. I had to call twice to ensure that the film stock would arrive in time, the call Center staff were very helpful and went out of their way to help so this ratified the issue considerably. However in all this was still disappointing when compared to the standard I usually get from calumet but I would still buy from them again.”

“I like the fact that most, if not all, the staff are photographers themselves and can advise based on their own experiences. So many stores nowadays have staff who have no idea of the products they sale.”

“I've never had a problem with Calumet until recently (been a customer for 3 years). Twice now in the past few months I've received the wrong equipment from rental (one being sent to a completely different city). I would be very concerned if I had to rely on Calumet 100% for a larger volume of equipment with a less understanding client. But what really annoyed me lately was an issue with a muslin backdrop. The example image online showed the muslin with a definite texture. I received it with no texture whatsoever. I dropped the customer service an email just letting them know that I understood that there was a variation in pattern, but the image was completely wrong on the website if it contained no texture whatsoever, and would need changing so no other customer made the £100 mistake I did. The reply was 'the website image may differ from monitor to monitor it’s viewed on' - As a company that's selling photography equipment that was a very poor statement. Colours may vary yes, but monitors don't add texture to an image. Once I replied explaining the situation further and how my client wasn't happy, my email was then ignored. There's just been too many issues with Calumet recently that it's very worrying.”

“Most of my camera purchases are made at Calumet and the fact i keep coming back is testament to my satisfaction of the service I have received. The key to this satisfaction is the staff. When I get service from a member of staff, other members will greet and speak to me. When I pre-ordered items the staff member dealing with the purchase has kept me in the loop. There a friendly atmosphere in the shop and a customer can browse the the shop without the fear of being harassed by a member of staff. In the purchase that generated this review the Open Day. I purchased a Lowepro Event Messenger 150. The Lower rep reduced the price by £10 and and Calumet gave a 20% discount. One of the problems that does irritate me and this is not the fault Calumet. Like other areas of retail, manufactures like to have sales,which means keeping prices high for a lot of the year. I am now reluctant to purchase big ticket items until I see the sale sign. Derek”

“I bought the Profoto B2 kit the other day and the Calumet staff helping me could not have been more informed and helpful. I have been buying my equipment from Calumet for 8 years now and I really appreciate how Calumet been there since day 1 for me with a good range and excellent advice. And being a specialised jewellery photographer who travels a lot this super light Profoto travel kit will be perfect. Much better than the Quadra travel kit I have used previously.”
