Great service & advise

I emailed Castle Cameras in Bournemouth about purchasing a pair of binoculars, I received a very quick response & was asked to come in & try. After some very good advise about binoculars & cameras, I purchased the binoculars & ordered a new camera. A very good experience all round & would definitely buy again from them & recommend

Ordered Sigma lens without difficulty and delivery was even quicker than expected. Needed to telephone because email with invoice didn't arrive. Gentleman I spoke with was most helpful - we located the paper copy sealed on the outside of the package!!! He did say there had been email problems so I hope they're resolved. All in all, outstanding service. Graeme Clarke

There is NO substitute for face-to-face human expertise, especially when wrapped in 'good character'. The transaction - buying the camera gear - is professional, but the customer's experience is personable - and that is the difference that makes a difference and why I keep going back.

The staff are well informed and genuinely excited about photography and cameras. There’s a wide range of accessories and lots to look at, there prices are very fair. I would highly recommend recommending coming in to the store and buying local rather than buying products online with wonky warranties 👍

Fast delivery of lens

I ordered a lens, teleconverter and protection filter on Wednesday evening and, despite just opting for the standard delivery option, they were all delivered by Friday lunchtime. They were well packed so no worries about anything getting damaged in transit.

Good company to buy from

Their customer service was brilliant. There was a glitch with the payment system and I ended up with 2 orders. Inside 30 mins I had a phone call and it was all sorted. The camera bag was exactly as advertised and fits my Sony a6400 beautifully.

'Real Human Beings ...who know what they're selling'

Picking up the phone and speaking to actual human beings who where also extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgable about what they were selling is almost a thing of the past! Well done Castle Cameras, great stuff, I will now always contact them first.

Good Service

I’d ordered a Slik tripod post. Castle Cameras responded promptly, advising that there was currently no stock, that these were on back order from the suppliers but with no delivery date and offered a refund. I appreciated the honesty and thinking of the customer. I’ll definitely return to Castle Cameras

Excellent customer service. I ordered a pair of binocilars just after 10.30 am and they were delivered the very next morning. The binoculars are a gift so I cannot give a fair review of those but they look nice and I hope they will be apprciated and enjoyed for years to come. Thank you.

Filter advice

I recently contacted Castle Cameras about some filter advice for use with kit lenses. A prompt & helpful reply which enabled me to choose the correct filters. Highly recommended for photographic advice & equipment.

Easy workaround

I liked that I got a call when my item was out of stock.They offered me a work around and swiftly sent the package.Im impressed because it was a cheap filter thread and they went to the effort to make sure I could keep working with my current filters.

Great experience buying a used camera. A fair price, the item was exactly as described and in excellent condition. They even responded to a request for Saturday delivery and didn't charge extra for it. All very good.

Vortex Binoculars

I didn’t get any advice, so I can’t comment on that, but the order was despatched really quickly, and was well packaged to prevent damage. So far the binoculars are great.

My Panasonic lens arrived two days after ordering it, despite other retailers saying problems supplying it. I couldn't be happier with the service I got from Castle Cameras - Excellent
