Excellent service

Excellent service - I was after a newly released camera and the Production Gear team contacted a supplier and got the camera to me faster than the other resellers! 5*!

Ordered in July, still not arrived in September.

Reply from Production Gear

Hello John, apologies for the delay on your order. Sadly we are reliant on our suppliers and this item has been backordered. Starting proceedings is a little harsh when we would happily have refunded you if you had simply called us. I have now cancelled your order and issued a full refund to your card.

Order cancelled by PG

My order got cancelled by PG after two months.
PG did not withdraw the money.
The level of information during the process was unsatisfactory.
PG do not seem to respond to your email, only to Trustpilot reviews.
I was initailly informed that the ordered item was underway within two weeks by ship. Later on it was underway by ship from their supplier in Asia.
Nevertheless, the ordered item did not seem to be in stock at PG
and never within reach of being so.
Apparently PG has not removed the item from their product list.

Once again apologies for the delay. I am sorry that this adapter has still not arrived. We have been in contact with you and On September 25th we told you the following:

"Thank you for your order. Unfortunately we're currently out of stock with this item but will be placing a order from the suppliers which are based in Asia and we get everything shipped through a container ship which are next one is due mid-October/ late october. Will update you through email once I hear back."

Owing to the extended delay which we have communicated with you we have not charged your credit card for this order.

Our delivery estimates are based on information we are given by our suppliers. As such I am very sorry for your wait and our inability to supply you with an accurate delivery date.

In light of your comments "Spend your money and time elsewhere" and "With PG you know what you get, but never when." I can see you are getting understandably increasingly frustrated.

Sadly I feel that as we cannot reliably offer you a delivery date it is best that we remove this product from our website and cancel your order. Apologies once again.

"The level of information during the process was unsatisfactory" - we communicated what news we had from our supplier. We will not provide you with information when we have none to provide.

"PG do not seem to respond to your email, only to Trustpilot reviews." - We have communicated with you constantly by email, the last being on 09/10/17 when your order was cancelled. We have every right to reply on trustpilot especially when your continuously edited review contains information that is inflammatory.

"Apparently PG has not removed the item from their product list." - INCORRECT, the item was removed on 09/10/17, why you state "apparently" is unclear. It is either on the website or not. It is not - https://www.productiongear.co.uk/kupo-painters-pole.html

Excellent Service

I have purchased a few items from Productiongear over the years and always found them to be friendly and efficient to deal with, especially when there's a waiting/delivery time with certain products and unlike some companies don't take payment until the goods are in stock and on route to you.

Thank you for excellent service

Tenba bag, great service

I sought out this company as they were one of the few main Tenba bags dealerships. I enquired about a newly designed bag that I wanted, but was yet to be released (at the time, July 17) the Tenba Roadie Air Case Roller 21. These guys couldn't be more helpful, sourcing me one of the very first cases to reach the UK from the distributor , and price matched the best offer from their competitors. Communications were great, letting me know when the case would be released in the uk, when they could get it dispatched to me, etc. They've got a real 'can do' helpful attitude.
This was the first time I've used them, and it certainly won't be the last time I use them. Thoroughly recommended retailer.

Great gear selection and great service

Friendly & great gear advice for your budgets.
Pleased with the level of customer service/support, the equipment is of a high standard and the kit is usually in stock.

MovCam GH5 Cage Kit

Always good buying from Production Gear. Although this purchase took some weeks to complete nothing to do with Production Gear as they had to wait patiently from the UK supplier Holdan who had to wait for MovCam to deliver the products to the UK, and MovCam kept shifting the date another week and another week so a bit frustrating, but all good in the end
