Really happy with the service, first time I have used the Flash Centre for purchasing my professional camera lighting equipment and I was very happy overall. Product came with UPS tracked delivery and was really well packaged. The LED light panel was also at a very competitive price which is a bonus.

Helpful, friendly, professional, and with real in-depth expertise (especially about Elinchrom). What's not to like?

I don't even know where to begin. I bought two products from them after their website said both were in stock and would be shipped within 3-5 working days. The items were not in stock! So phone them and I found out they ship it from a wear house to them which takes few working days snd then ship it to customers which takes more time so probably a total of 10 working days. So after their website lied and been in touch with them sand hearing more lies I cancelled my order. Refused both items and guess what, one of them was lost....how in 2024 you loose an item with a tracking number....shocked. So now they are refusing to give me a refund until they fix their issue, and btw I don't have the item so basically I am paying for an item who has been returned and lost, so those criminals now are refusing to refund me the money for an item I don't have! So basically I have been emailing this criminal from Flash Center for the past MONTH and he still hasn't realised a refund for the product. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, I don't even know how they can still trade. Also they don't ship to mainland apparently, in NI so when the product arrived I was charge half of the whole price in duties and taxes even tho I live in the United Kingdom. Please police, arrest them

As other reviews have mentioned the stock status is not accurate. I placed an order for a Godox V860iii flash as it was showing in stock and delivery within 3-5 days. 6 days later and no update. I chased up the order and was told the item was out of stock and delivery would be at the end of December so a 6 week wait!! Other companies would have stock early December so if I'd have known I'd have ordered elsewhere. Even though the item was out of stock the website still shows it as in stock and delivery within 3-5 days. This was my first time using The Flash Centre and it'll be my last. So I would take any item as being in stock with a pinch of salt

The Flash Centre staff were helpful and informative via live chat and when I phoned. The kit that I hired was in excellent condition and very good value.

I've only used the Flash Centre for about 20 years so my experience is a bit limited... The difference between the Flash Centre and a normal camera shop is that they are a pro supplier and when you need to hire something obscure, try out a specific bit of equipment for potential purchase or ( very importantly ) need Colorama, stands, lights whatever couriering to a location last minute they will move mountains to achieve it. Both Aran and Graham at the Leeds branch have helped me out of a hole in the last month without whom the very expensive shoot would have been cancelled.

I recently sourced lighting gear for my wedding photography business from The Flash Centre, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service and products! From the moment I contacted them, the team was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They took the time to understand my specific needs and recommended the perfect lighting solutions for my weddings. Their expertise made the whole process seamless and stress-free. The quality of the equipment is outstanding. The gear has significantly enhanced my work, adding a professional and polished touch that my clients absolutely love. The gear is reliable, easy to use, and has proven to be a fantastic investment for my business. Delivery was prompt, and everything arrived in perfect condition. The Flash Centre even provided excellent after-sales support, answering all my questions and ensuring I was completely satisfied with my purchase. If you’re a photographer in need of high-quality lighting equipment, look no further than The Flash Centre. Their exceptional service, top-notch products, and knowledgeable staff make them the best in the business. Highly recommended!

Excellent supplier for photographic equipment. Most of the stock is very specialised and well beyond my enthusiast/hobbyist needs. Friendly and helpful customer service. Quick & safe packaging/delivery via UPS. Would recommend to offer ‘budget’ delivery for smaller items… Will definitely check them out for future purchases

I wasn’t sure what I needed when I called but the London branch had information on my ancient lights which got me out of trouble on a short notice shoot. I will definitely be back to them when I can eventually upgrade. Only good things to say about them.

Amazing customer service (Christina) throughout my order experience with them, from start to finish there was excellent communication and updates. Highly recommend this place to anyone getting their equipment / camera gear, I'll certainly be using them from now on for everything!
