HIghly recommended

HIghly recommended. Another promptly delivered purchase.

As a Pro photographer I've been dealing with The Flash Centre for many years. Really helpful staff and they never fail to deliver excellent value and service online or in their stores.

Website said that product was…

Website said that product was available. Turned out not to be.... but at least they rang me with an explanation and an offer to my money back if I was not prepared to wait for them to receive shipment of the product. In these on-line times that human touch rescues them from a one/two star review.

Very friendly & easy to use

Very friendly & easy to use, spent time discussing my needs, and come time to order, explained what the best options were (need to have package delivered to work, rather than home) patiently waited on the phone while I did the online order, and ar the end offered to connect me to the web orders team to check everything was inorder. Really prompt with the delivery, with great communication. A top company, and will be purchasing from TFC again

Excellent service

Excellent service - After doing my own research on line on products I was not too sure about, I was pleased to be able to get to speak to someone directly who dealt with my query, and on top of this a visit to the shop in Brunswick, London, and was even more impressed, with the customer service level, as not only did they make me feel comfortable by asking ' silly questions' but gave very honest advice. Very pleased indeed.

Great Service

I’ve ordered a few things through The Flash Centre and each time service has been spot on. Due to short notice I needed a ring-light within 2 days. The online team sourced the light and arranged next day delivery. The excellent service made all the difference. Definitely recommended.
