Fantastic camera and great help via email from Colchester store .
Bad attitude in store.
Very speedy delivery. However, the attitude of the sales person I encountered when returning the camera bag to the Gloucester store was appalling.
I was disappointed with the bag I had ordered. After having carefully studied the description and watched a video about the product, I thought it was what I wanted. It was however, too small for my kit. I related this to the sales person, who then tried to tell me I was wrong and that it was big enough for my needs. I insisted it wasn't, so then they quite forcefully tried to sell me another, more expensive bag. I was not happy with this but they continued. I asked if they had a different sort of bag and was sharply told they did not. I also asked for another item, which they didn't have and did not offer to get for me.
I was eventually given a refund but found the whole encounter to be unpleasant and draining. They have lost this customer.
