Cable for Ancient Lights!

I had been trying for some time to source a sync flash cable for my 30 year old flash lights without success having lost my previous cable in a studio move.
The Flash Centre adviser was amazingly helpful and spent time, including consulting one of his colleagues to identify what I needed. For a purchase price of around just £20, I consider this was excellent service and would highly recommend the Flash Centre.

Excellent shop, excellent staff!

The service you get from TFC is excellent. The knowledge and information on offer from the staff is unrivalled. I have no need or desire to shop elsewhere for my camera equipment! TFC was recommended to me and I haven’t looked back since!

The Flash Centre's staff are fantastic

The Flash Centre's staff are fantastic. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and they have helped me out of sticky situations with kit sent to location at the last minute. Good value for money well worth the pilgrimage from Central London to Seven Sisters.

Outstanding service from sales and accounts...

Purchased some flash equipment from their London shop. Staff were superb - was not sure which was best for my needs. Their advice was invaluable.

However, over a year on I discovered after moving house that I had mislaid the invoice - essential for my tax return. I contacted accounts, and their emailed a copy to me within 20 minutes. Such outstanding service I am sure never gets mentioned in the normal run of a busy day, but I had to review this to Trustpilot.

The Flash Centre, such an excellent company from a customer perspective...

Excellent service, prices and goods

I rang The Flash Centre a couple of times before buying quite a bit of kit. On both occasions the advice was good and helpful and they didn’t try and make me spend more, concentrating instead on my requirements. The prices are the best in the UK and I bought a couple of ex demo items along with mainly new kit and all was in fantastic order. They have won a loyal customer. Thanks!

Hi,
We've checked back through our records and the only incident of a wrong address we can find, around this time, was one where a customer had a previous address on their web account and didn't update it before placing an order.
We'd love to discuss your experience to help us improve in the future, please do get in touch (sales@theflashcentre.com) and let us know what happened.

Kind regards
