Company details

  1. Camera Store

Written by the company

In 2002, SLR Hut’s founders began offering professional camera and camcorder equipment for sale locally in a retail store. Sales quickly expanded online and offerings were being made globally. Despite the extremely large consumer base that was built up since 2002, they noticed that most people around the world that are in the market for professional camera and camcorder equipment were not getting very good prices. These same products that our Founders were offering to their local market were being sold in the UK and other parts of the world at prices 20% - 40% higher due to manufacturers demanding MSRP pricing, enforced MAP policies with authorized retailers and currency exchange rates. The question was asked, why should consumers have to pay MSRP with such a high markup? Why can't we sell at wholesale price points to the general public? The answer was simple; WE CAN, and WE WILL. The burden of researching each corner of this global market was now placed onto their shoulders. Finally, they had figured it out, since the internet has made this world a smaller place to live and since e-commerce is a global playing field, we followed suit and quickly expand globally, from being one of our nation’s largest online supplier of consumer electronics, to being one of the world’s largest consumer electronics e-tailers. With our founders now focused in on the United Kingdom as their target market, SLRHut.co.uk was born and our brand, dedicated to a UK customer base began to build. We have massive warehouses which are always fully stocked, we also have close ties with manufacturers and distributors worldwide and are ready to fulfill your every need quickly and seamlessly.

They don't answer their phones!

I was about to purchase a pair of Canon binoculars online and haven't used this company before, so thought I'd check out their reviews first. Having seen a few which referred to their poor customer service, I thought I would call the SLR Hut first to test out their service and ask about Christmas delivery times.
I selected Option 1 for 'Sales' and was then held listening to repetitive music for over 7 minutes without a response. Coming from a customer service background, I find this totally unacceptable and can only imagine the difficulty I would have if I needed to contact the SLR Hut with a query or a problem if I proceeded with my purchase (of £360.00). Thank you, but no thank you, I would rather pay £20.00 more and purchase from a supplier who recognises how important it is to answer the phone to their customers!

Spammers

UPDATE #2:
they're still at it. Spamming me. It's December of 2025

UPDATE:
they have followed up on this review, asking for details etc.
They have not however stopped spamming me.
I have NEVER seen such tenacity from a spammer of any kind.

I have unsubscribed from their lousy newsletters a dozen times over more than a decade.
The most persistent spammers I have EVER encountered.

Odd but acceptable

I was looking for a Canon camera SLRHut had the best price. I called the London number on their website to check if the one I wanted was in stock. The person I spoke to consulted someone else and confirmed that they did have what I wanted. I ordered it, with a scheduled delivery date 5-6 days later. I was surprised to get a delivery advice from Fedex saying the my package had been dispatched from New Jersey, U.S.A. I was a little worried as this seemed rather odd and there is no indication on the website that this is not a wholly U.K. based company. I got frequent delivery updates and the camera arrived when expected. There was no paperwork with it. Just the boxed camera in a brown cardboard box. An odd experience but not bad considering how unconventional everything seemed.

It's uncommon for me to leave reviews

It's uncommon for me to leave reviews, however, it's uncommon to receive such excellent customer service! I was impressed throughout the process. Great prices, efficient delivery and knowledgeable, friendly, helpful customer service team. Particular thanks to Henry and Mark. I highly recommend 😊

Happy to recommend

Great company. I was a little wary as the price almost felt too good to be true, but I had no need to be. Great communication all through the purchase processes and really quick delivery. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and happy to use again. Delighted with the camera and the bundle of accessories.

Do not buy a camera from SLR Hut

Do not buy a camera from SLR Hut. I purchased a Sony ZV E10 and when it arrived the factory seal on the box had been removed, the manufacturers warranty cards removed and the camera had finger prints on it.

SLR huts response was that they quality control inspect cameras!! Clearly the cameras are returns/display ones.

Please avoid at all costs, it's not worth it.

Another one happy purchase

I have purchased in the past from slr hut a digital slr camera but this time it was a MacBook Air. Which it was in unbeatable price comparing any other retailer on the market. As I was pleased before with the camera I bought and the service i received, I did not hesitate this time to buy a new laptop. The delivery arrived three days earlier ( was suppose to be a week! ) wow!! All in perfect condition! I couldn’t be more happy. Thank you.

Amazing service, kit and prices

I ordered my Canon EOS R10 with two lenses on Sunday. The kit arrived on Wednesday afternoon, three days later. Everything was in perfect condition, and I am delighted with the equipment, LSRHUT’S service and of course the saving of £550. I have today (Thursday) placed an order for another lens which the gentleman who rang me to advise on my choices says will be with me by middle of next week. I will order more kit from SLRHut, as I need it. Based on my experience so far, I can only recommend SLRHUT.

A very easy order of a hard to find camera

A very easy order of what is now a hard-to-find camera in a new and unused state. SLR Hut bundled the camera with a multitude of accessories such as lens filters, tripods, video microphones, video lights and cases.
It was all very well packaged and shipped quickly with excellent tracking. Really happy with the purchase

Buyer beware - not as genuine as it looks.

Went to order a camera today. Their website would infer they have it in stock. They don't. I noticed that the funds hadn't left my credit card so called them to check. They then said they don't hold it in stock.

I can't find their company number or any other info to work out where they are based etc. The website is a trick to infer they are UK based but when I called today it was quite evident they aren't based in the UK.

Buyer beware....

Bought a Tamron 150-600 zoom lens

Bought a Tamron 150-600 zoom lens, price was the best on the net that I could find and as I have used SLRHut before I knew I could trust them. Delivery was good with the item well package, chuffed with my new aquasition.

Confusion helpfully sorted by the company.

There was confusion initially regarding my order. SLR HUT replied, explained why the problem occurred and my order was filled.
The camera ordered along with many extras included met with my complete satisfaction.
I am pleased to post a positive review of SLR HUT.
