If the manager in Jessops has a brain, he'd offer a discount, however you WILL NOT get the online price, you have to give some ground to cover extra costs for bricks & mortar. It depends on if you want piece of mind taking it back to Jessops if it breaks, or bunging it back in the post.

That is probably the best thing about buying from a shop like Jessops is that you can bring it back where online you have to post and sometimes pay for p&p.Originally Posted by Win2Win
I usually buy from ebay but have had some bad experiences when buying electrical goods going faulty and trying to get money back from paypal has been a waste of time.
I can think of several places where you can order online and either get delivered or pickup from their store/depot. Never used jessops. If possible worth doing otherwise check out for restocking fees and return post and packaging calling hotlines for returns.
Some online stores by the time you paid p and p and waited for the parcel the difference is not worth the hassle. Been there and got the t shirt
I know in London a bit of shopping around,for most electrical goods the savings if you go to the right store (not the chains) will be only a little more expensive if at all. Plus i know the camera works, all the bits are with it and its the model i was looking for.
Also make sure that you dont get a grey import. Seen to good to be true deals on various electrical goods but when you look closer theres a reason for it.
I order from Ebuyer all the time, £15k plus a year, and they deliver the next day if they say they are going to, if the courier messes up, they refund the extra charges for next day delivery. They also refund for returns if DOA or the item stops working very soon after purchase.
Can't say they are perfect, I have had to be persistent at times, but compared with Pixmania thay are perfect!
I have also used cameras2you.com and buyacamera.co.uk in the last couple of weeks, and the delivery has been next day as stated.
Make sure that any online shop has a UK contact address and number, and stock is UK stock held in the UK, as there are quite a few American companies with .co.uk addresses that are not in the UK, so you get non-UK models, and they lie about the parcel contents to get it through customs, obviously if you are the unlucky one whos parcel is checked, you will have to pay.
Jessops will sometimes match prices, but you need to have the advert, and they do actually phone the company to see if they have stock at the price stated! But I have had such poor service from Jessops that there is no advantage dealing with them. (not from my point, your branch may be different)
Blimey if i spent 15k a year with a company id hope they can deliver on time you must have your own personal driver
Its true its not the good deliveries you should take notice of its the cock ups where good companies normal come in to their own
