Backdrop Source and Bristol Cameras - TERRIBLE service!

Just a rant and Im VERY peed off!

Order from Bristol cameras, get email to say gone through etc.. delivery should be within 2 days. Nothing, that was last Wednesday! Email them yesterday, to be told by email because they couldnt find anyone on sales that they are out of stock! The email they sent says they will inform of all aspects of the process and will contact you immediately should there be a problem with delivery or stock levels etc.... NOTHING!! One not to be trusted.


Order a lot of gear from Backdrop Source, again last Wednesday. Phone me on Friday to say order sent, will be here Tuesday at the latest, NOTHING!! Ring them today, oh it will be with you tomorrow at the latest! Doesnt help my client arriving at 11.30 does it, when I need some of the stuff I ordered from them! Again, another let down!!!

Well Im pretty sure its them, as they seemed to indicate it was still with them! Their delivery company is DHL, Camerabox use these and Ive never had issue with them, in fact DHL delivered my flash gun here last week as promised.

Re: Backdrop Source and Bristol Cameras - TERRIBLE service!

Phonecall from them today saying the backdrop I ordered was not in stock and could take 2 WEEKS to arrive, which of course proves they were lying about sending it TWICE!!n They are now going to send me the larger size at no extra cost. Some compensation, but doesnt excuse lies!!!

Re: Backdrop Source and Bristol Cameras - TERRIBLE service!

Great that you are getting an upgrade, but very annoying that a) they lied and b) you are going to have to wait
