Great customer service!

I was inquiring about a Blackmagic camera and Bradley helped me immensely. He contacted Blackmagic for me and got me an answer right away. Although they didn't have the product available, Bradley was kind, informative, and quick to respond. Excellent customer service!

bad customer service items not arrived

Ordered from them on 28/08/21
heard nothing so contacted them on 02/09/21 and was advised that some item not in stock (despite it being in stock on web) advised them we were on site shooting on 08/09/21 and they agreed to part ship if they didnt have eveything
contacted them 07/09/21 to be told they would send a part shipment today to arrive tomorrow ie itll arrive when your on the shoot way past the time it was needed

I was going to buy a Foamcore Fork from productiongear.co.uk on 20.04.2021, I only received a payment notification from Paypal but nothing from this company for 14 days. After a couple of emails, I received a full refund because I did not want to wait for 2 months more to get a simple thing.
The big concerns with this company:
-there is no payment notification at all
-there is no notification about the delivery time
-unpolite, unfriendly attitude towards the customer (mailing)
I do not recommend this company.

Sorry to hear this - I have asked around the office but no one recognizes the name associated with this Trustpilot account. You can e-mail sales@productiongear.co.uk and I will respond with prices and information required ASAP.

Still waiting

It has been months and I am still waiting and nobody even bothers to answer my emails. they claimed the products were in stock which - surprise - they were not and the last word I heared from them was 5 weeks ago. never, ever again! they even suggested to send me parts of my order that they actually had in stock and the rest once they have it. Sounds like a nice move and of course I agreed to that but for some reason unknown that also did not happen. I sent them two emails last week, nothing... never again!

What a great service!

I'm so glad I bought my gear with Production Gear.

I had a BMPCC6k rig setup in mind and after speaking with customer service on the phone, they recommended me better parts for the rig than what I had in mind.
For me that's very important, giving the customer the best possible experience possible.

Everything arrived very quickly.
The tilta cage was missing and once again after getting in contact, the cage was with me the next day.
The rig looks amazing!

Thank you, Steve and Bradley, for your brilliant service.
I'm very pleased!

Outstanding Service

We had a monitor that broke a month out of guarantee that we had bought from Production Gear. Production Gear contacted the supplier, persuaded them to repair it free of charge, arranged delivery and collection and tested the returned monitor. Outstanding service.

Great Service

Sam was really helpful liaising with Holdan over a Syrp motion control kit which was out of stock everywhere. The kit arrived as promised and when there was a delay on a couple of cables, they shipped them for Saturday delivery which allowed me to use the product on an upcoming shoot. Suppliers are usually very dependant on distributors so it was good to see how well PG and Holdan (another Sam!) worked together to source the gear I needed.

Best Friendly Customer Service for Buying Camera Gear, Highly Recommended

The level of service I received from Sam at Production gear, was nothing short of exemplary.

He went out of his way to help me with my order and did so with a kind and humble, warm and friendly approach which unfortunately is not the way a few gear companies have acted.

Sometimes there tends to be a rather condescending tone used by a few companies employees that the fact that your order is in the ‘’£hundreds’’ and not in the ‘’£tens of thousands’’ Bracket you’re made to feel you’re not worth their time,

but thankfully, all my dealings with Production and Sam have been fantastic!

I’m most certainly a repeat customer because of this and actually recommended them to fellow indie filmmakers/cameramen etc.

Sam took the time to help answer all of my questions and offered helpful advice in choosing the right gear -when he easily could have suggested more expensive alternatives.

I get the impression the team at Production Gear are genuinely there to help the customer.

So I say this with no hesitation – I will most definitely be a repeat customer to Production Gear and their brilliant employee Sam.

Very bad service ordered my item, was not in stock despite the site saying it was and waited 6 weeks to receive it in the end. Multiple phone calls with promises of calls back. Absolutely appalling I would not recommend this company. I would advise to go somewhere else

Reply from Production Gear

Apologies for the delay on this order. As per our initial email on receipt of your order we explained that our suppliers were out of stock. We were told by them that stock was due in to them in one week. We passed this on to you. This very sadly was not the case and it took us those 6 weeks to receive the order from our suppliers. Our website is not currently linked to stock although this is being integrated now.
