MW Classic Cameras Anmeldelser 

Gave one star but would've preferred to give minus-5 stars. They had equipment from me on consignment before Covid and I've been chasing them so ever since to settle up for what they owe me but I cannot get them to respond at all and they still owe me money my advice would be avoid them like the plague

paid for a cable switch £5 and did not know that it was £10 postage until I paid by card emailed them no answer telephoned no answer

David Woodford is a cretin of the lowest order (and still owes me money, 7 months after my initial purchase). If you value your sanity, avoid this excuse for a camera shop like the plague. I only wish I’d seen the other reviews here before I placed an order.

Ordered a lens without reading the reviews ....unusual for me .... Paid by bank transfer (again unusual I'm not sure what I was thinking - the usual bank card didn't seem to be an option) - am pleased to report that the lens arrived in beautiful condition in a couple of days......can't speak for others (and the website is pretty dreadful) but it was a positive experience rather than the nightmare I was expecting having read the recent reviews in TP...... Suggest you ring the guy before dropping any cash via the site but I can't complain at all on the basis of my experience

Terrible. I cannot believe this company is allowed to trade. No item, no communication, no reply to emails and does not answer the phone. Muppets.

Ordered something 9 days ago, received an email confirming order, asked them for a tracking number 4 days after oreder, no reply, just sent them another email, 9 days after ordering. Tried to call them, no answer. They are supposed to be in Bethnall Green, I live in Crystal Palace, only 5 or 6 miles away. Not happy, I don't mind delays but communication is key. Seems I'm not the only one from reading reviews here. Hopefully they're not scam artists. If it hasn't arrived by Monday, I'll be paying them a visit!!!!!

After 5 months:
- not shipped
- no refund
- no answer to emails
Sure they have too many orders :-(

Should have checked here before ordering. Had to chase multiple times to receive order and partial refund. Of the three items ordered only one turned out to be available. The item supplied did not match the condition advertised - broken shutter. I did obtain refund for items which turned out to be out of stock after chasing.

AVOID AVOID AVOID Shocking lack of customer service. Tried to buy a second hand lens on line. Payment taken immediately. Nothing after almost 2 weeks. Sent Email. No response. Sent another. No response. Tried to phone twice. No response. Now trying to get refund via credit card company. How can they continue to get away with this?

A bunch of crooks, avoid them.
Fortunately, I was able to get my money back through chargeback procedure with my bank.
I reckon they would have only bad reviews if not for the few positive ones which they most likely posted themselves.

Put a booklet in my basket, and the postage cost was £10. I emailed to report I felt something was wrong, as the item should have cost £1.53 to post. No reply. Thanks to others for their reports; I now know that the excessive postage cost would have been a total waste of money.

Bunch of absolute shysters. Avoid!

Sadly minus stars are not available.

I ordered a few items on the and sent a cheque off in the post. Having heard nothing I sent an email on a week later to see if they had got the cheque OK, I got no reply.

Emailed them again a week later as the cheque still wasn't cashed and only then did I check on here to see what others had to say...

I feel such a fool!!

Do not waste your time trying to purchase anything from these clowns

Terrible.
First camera I waited weeks for and sent 3 emails which weren’t replied to and eventually rang to be told it had already been sold.
I stupidly bought another which is also not in stock and still waiting for my refund.

Very strange company. They had the camera I wanted and at apparently the right condition. Put it in basket and was slightly set back by the £10 postage charge. But thought i would go ahead. They took money from my account, but no acknowledgement of the purchase.
I emailed to make sure they had got order. No reply. Two days later I get phone cal to say the camera I have bought is on loan to someone and can't be dispatched for another week. I politely declined and asked for my money back. Not paying £10 postage for the camera to take two weeks to be dispatched.

Purchased a lens from website. No response for weeks, then told he didn't have it in stock. No refund forthcoming despite repeated requests. DO NOT USE.

Absolute joke of a company. No items shipped, no response to emails of eventual PayPal dispute. Held my money for a month and then when I got my refund from PayPal it was minus the £8 postage.. nice little scam.

This is the most knowledgeable classic camera dealer in the world! If you are a collector you will be shocked of the vast collection of cameras and lenses they have on offer!

I've tried to buy cameras from the website, but I dont recommend it as they don't always post it, and rarely respond to emails or texts . I'm still trying to get a refund from an order 2 months ago. When you do get a response from the owner, he is polite and offers to try and help, but there seems little relationship between what is on the website and what they can find to post out. People who go to the shop in person seem to have a much better experience.

Terrible company. I bought a camera from their website and waited 2 weeks to arrive. Nothing arrived so I tried to contact them but got no reply. I opened a Paypal dispute and got my money back after a month when Paypal decided in my favour. Waste of time, you should AVOID this company!

Usually you can tell a bad company by its website. The website is nice, and they seem to have new stock every week. Nice photos etc. The problem is the same as many have cited. Once I placed the order I waited... and waited. I emailed after a month, and got the "we will ship soon", after two months "we will ship tomorrow"... 3, 4, 5 months later, I finally submitted a refund request with PayPal. I don't really understand how they stay in business. I know with the pandemic and all things have been topsy turvy, but I have ordered from other camera stores in the UK, and the items appeared in Canada 7-10 days later. There is no excuse, especially if they keep updating stock. One wonders if they actually have stock? I would give them an ultra-wide berth. How can you trust people that can't even be bothered to reply to emails?
