Will now have to wait until the item arrives then organise it to be returned via post at my own cost for a refund. No notices on their website at all on delays. I would've purchased elsewhere if I had known.

I went here to get some printing done for uni and I received friendly and efficient service…read more Unfortunately they didn't have a heavy duty stapler, although the staff member did offer me a clip instead. It was probably a good opportunity for him to offer me binding he didn't and afterwards I thought of that option myself and came back for it minutes later. For 31 pages it cost $7.40 for the printing (including a $2 fee for retrieving the .pdf file from a USB) and $3.49 for the binding, all of which I thought was reasonable. So I got what I came for and it was a pleasant and totally hassle-free experience, which surely is what everyone wants.

Not happy as I could have brought through the website on my credit card with no fee and the annoying thing was I was going to buy through the website but instead wasted my petrol driving there. Bad form! Not happy, also no signage to warn people about the charge either.

Highly recommend Photoshack! The team here are very knowledgeable, keen and enthusiastic to help. I…read morewas a bit confused at a few options and they took the time to explain the pros and cons of each solution and discuss the potential upgrades down the line if needed without the traditional up sell to kit that I wasn't ready for. I really appreciated the support and am stoked to know there's a supportive knowledgeable team in my neighbourhood. As a bonus they had the sharpest prices too! Thanks again and see you soon.

I was recommended this shop by my Dad when I asked him if he knew of any good places to get cheap…read morephotography accessories such as soft-boxes and remotes. Usually I would just hire them as I need them, but I realised I was starting to use them quite a bit so decided purchasing them would be better for me in the long run. When I walked in I was greeted really nicely by the dude working there and he pretty much asked me straight away what I was looking for because I was the only customer in there. He was so helpful, I told him what I was planning on doing with each product and he gave me the best ones for the job, not the most expensive ones either which I appreciated as it showed he wasn't just looking to make money. I came out with a great little soft-box and a handsfree remote all for around $150 which may sound expensive, but when it comes to photography gear this was pretty darn cheap.

PrintInc is my favourite place to go for developing my photos. It's got kiosks within a kiosk; you…read morecan bring your own USB or CD, pick your photos at your own machine, take it to the main kiosk and walk around the mall while your photos print. Very handy and they even give you a call when they're done! I've printed tonnes of photos at a small cost and they always come out beautifully with at the customisations I ordered too (matte, white border, and so on). The staff here are great to deal with and know what they're talking about, which was much the case when I got something printed on canvas. I was a total lost cause but they helped me through the process of picking what parts I wanted cropped, how I wanted it centred and even showed me how they did it on their computer screen. I'm signed up to their e-mails so I always get alerts when they're having a sale on canvas prints or the like. They occasionally do half price canvas prints which are a bargain! They're a great gift idea and they even sell some nice frames if you're running short on time. I'd highly recommend PrintInc for making all your photos come to life, it's a great establishment.

As a professional photographer I really need excellent service and advice from a knowledgable…read morephotography enthusiast whenever it comes to purchasing new gear and I know that I can find just that here at Progear. The thing I like most about this store is they have a really good second hand section with lots of refurbished camera's and accessories for around 1/3rd of their original cost. I bought my 5D body second hand from here and it has lasted me so well with no issues yet! But even if there was an issue I wouldn't be worried as the staff here have excellent contacts and ideas when it comes to fixing Canon products. The staff are so great, they really know what they are talking about, I could chat with them for ages about new products and old faithful ones and everything in-between. They stock the two main brands here, Canon and Nikon as well as an excellent range of after market accessories that are top quality and work well with both brands.

For service, Canon are fantastic…read more Get your DSLR or lens a service here for very reasonable prices. Bring it here your self and pay half what you would in a photo store. Services take about one to two weeks. Repairs take about the same depending on the damage or repair required. They will also call to confirm whether you wish to proceed and the analysis fee is deducted from the final total. All repairs come with their warranty. Come on, you're dealing with the camera manufacturer, not a cowboy car park repair shop. Also, there are refurbished and even brand new cameras on reduced sale price here for minor packaging damage. Lens caps also for sale at $15 dollars and I've paid $45 dollars retail in photo stores! Easily located there is also visitor car parks and you just let reception know you're heading up to the service department. Easy as.

Camera stores, a trade that has had to change with the fast advancement of the digital age. I…read moreappreciate and respect these humble stores that still float around. The Camera Corner in Henderson's Westfield Mall, Westcity is no different. I was also happy to come across this store for the first time during a sale! A task that I have been meaning to do for quite a while, placing prints onto canvas. Love the square boxy look! The man behind the counter was helpful with suggestions, recommending that we bring the image in (digitally) first so that they can show us on the computer what the image will look like first; great idea really as what looks aesthetically pleasing on a small little photo print out will change quite dramatically when altered in dimensions, plus what type of border would suit the style? Lots of little things to think of... its all about the details darling!

Once Ken, who works here, asked me: "Do you like tomatoes?" I said, yes, why I do like tomatoes. He…read morewent out the back and returned with a bag of them, explaining that he had a lot growing at home so had brought some in to give away. It was still one of the nicest things that's ever happened to me in a shop. Good one Ken! Apart from random acts of kindness, this is the place to go for anything camera-related. They stock a wide range of gear, (including studio equipment) and seem to always be a little bit cheaper than other places around. They also sell second hand gear on behalf, and also repair film cameras (not digital ones, although they can clean the sensor for you). I've actually had the same camera for about 18 years, so I'm not really their target market, but if you're upgrading or getting your first camera, I encourage you to go here and talk to people who know of what they speak. Finally, if you are in need of Lomo and the like, you can get that here too. All this and free tomatoes!
