I purchased the Epson EcoTank ET8550 printer on October 28, 2023, and I would like to share my experience with this purchase.
Firstly, regarding the printer itself, I am extremely satisfied. The print quality, especially for photos, exceeded my expectations – the colors are vibrant, and the details are sharp. The automatic double-sided printing feature is an additional benefit that greatly facilitates work. The printer perfectly fits my needs, both for home use and for small office tasks.
However, I must mention an aspect that was a source of stress. Namely, the order fulfillment time. I expected the delivery to take up to 4 business days, but on the fifth business day, not having received the printer yet, I contacted the store. The response came from an Irish customer service address, informing me that a reply might take up to 3 business days. This caused me concerns about whether I would receive the printer before the holidays. Eventually, the printer arrived on December 11, 2023.
In summary, despite some issues with the delivery time, I am very satisfied with the purchase. The Epson EcoTank ET8550 meets all my expectations in terms of quality and functionality. I would recommend it to others, but I would also advise the store to work on improving communication and predictability of delivery times.

- the item I ordered was never delivered because it went missing apparently
- I had to chase your reps for updates as I had no idea where the parcel was after 7 days
- I had to follow up after reaching out first for a second update.
All in all very very disappointing experience, never to order anything from you

Poor communication
The item I ordered over a month ago showed as being in stock. When I check the tracking number it hasn't even been dispatched. No communication from seller.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Avoid at All Costs!
I had a terrible experience with Photospecialist. I placed an order for three items, expecting delivery within 3-4 days as promised. However, not only did two of the items never arrive, but the one that did was damaged – delivered in an open box with visible crack. Despite the broken condition, they asked me to return the item before even considering a refund, completely disregarding my need for it in ongoing projects.
As for the missing items, Photospecialist failed to provide any helpful updates and shifted the blame to DHL, claiming they needed to investigate before issuing a refund. This is absurd since, under consumer rights law, the responsibility lies with them to ensure delivery. Their customer service was unhelpful, dismissive, and made me feel like my concerns were irrelevant. I had to constantly follow up and repeat myself, with no real resolution in sight.
The entire experience was frustrating, time-consuming, and left me feeling utterly neglected as a customer. I had to purchase the missing items elsewhere to meet my deadlines. Photospecialist has shown no professionalism, and I strongly advise against using them for any purchases.

Thanks for your review, how frustrating to read that it all went so awkwardly. I can well imagine that it is annoying that the shipment arrived broken and that you had to wait for an investigation with the other shipment. It is true that we are responsible for the shipment, that is why we have started an investigation, we must give DHL time to find out where the package is, maybe it was close by and it could still be delivered quickly. I can imagine that waiting for this can be frustrating. I will investigate everything and contact you in the hope that I can help you further.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
Update, I see you were in contact with my colleague yesterday and the refund has been initiated, nice to read that it has finally been resolved, again sorry for all the inconvenience.

How sad to read that you had this experience. I would like to sincerely apologise for that the investigation of your package took a bit long. The couriers should be given some time to find out what happened.
I see that a refund has been initiated.

Dreadful
Dreadful. Ordered an item worth over €500 more than 2 weeks ago ( 2 day delivery quoted). To date no sign of the item and no one seems to know where it is . I have sent them emails and, apart from the initial contact, nothing further.

Total garbage website. Product was not in stock as listed. Tried to order another product today and the payment software they use keeps rejecting my payment even though my bank has approved it. Total schlock.

Package lost, did not refund delivery costs.
Package was to be delivered in 2-3 days, paid 10 euro shipping. They lost the package, they did not refund delivery costs? Did not respond when I asked why they didn't.

I am so sorry to read that your order has gone this way. The stock always takes some time to update, because we also have stores and then the item you wanted, is out of stock.
My colleague tried to cancel the order, but his computer wasn't working, so he had to ask the administration to do so, that is why it took longer.
I am so sorry that this would be your first camera and this was your experience with us and I will contact you via email to see if there is anything I can do for you.

Bad delivery
I’ve bought a camera 13/11/2023 and I’ve not received yet. More than 10 working days and when I bought, it was saying that the delivery would be in 4/5 working days. I would have plans with that camera, but I had to cancel.
I hope to receive something for apologize because that’s happening is not good.
Thank you

Sorry to read that the package has not yet been delivered. I can see from the tracking code that the parcel is delayed which is obviously very frustrating. I will contact you so that we can take the next step.

Scammers! Avoid! EOS 2000D came in an original box, but without the kit lense. A cheaper one without IS was in the parcel inside FY. NEVER AGAIN.

Hello, Thanks for your message, I checked your order and see that you ordered theCanon EOS 2000D + 18-55mm DC (incl. Bag, Extra Battery and 64GB SD), you indicate in the review that you received a cheaper lens (the DC) instead of the IS version. This lens is not included in this package. Could it be that you thought the IS version would be included or did you see this somewhere? I would love to hear from you.
