Image stabilisation not working on the Monocular

Bought a image stabilised Monocular, as soon as it arrived I tested it, and was convinced the stabilisation wasn't working at all. I returned it and received a full refund. 👍

Good old fashioned customer service.

I recently purchased a Hikmicro thermal from Grovers Optics, they were kind enough to give me a 10% discount which I was obviously very pleased with, however when I tried to register it online with the manufacturer I came across some issues, I emailed Marcus at Grover Optics who responded immediately. Marcus contacted the manufacturer and stayed in contact with me until the issue was resolved.

Very poor customer service

Very poor customer service. I drove a long way to the store because they had HikMakro Habro Thermal Binoculars in stock. The store was empty with 3 members of staff available to help customers. One told me that the boss had taken them to a shooting fair. No solution except she conferred with her colleagues. The other members of staff offered no solution, were very disinterested and so when I suggested I buy them elsewhere, she told me I could. SO I DID! I got excellent service from a local competitor just a couple of miles away. A £1200 loss because of lazy unmotivated staff.

Terrible

You replied to me me saying there was IT issue to fixAfter I came to your shop so I could print an address lable I emailed rymans with my label and they printed it. At Grovers you made a meal out of it and wanted to charge me for said time while the woman who was behind the counter seemed to not know what she was doing. I bet if I go in again it will still be £2.50 so that's rubbish, even if there is someone who knows what they were doing this time.Your shop has terrible customer service and does not want to address any issues raised, the customer is always wrong basically.Also very over priced, will always avoid this shop out of principle even if it involves traveling.VERY RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND VERY OVER PRICED.

Hurray For Grovers Optics

Eleven days ago I placed an order for a Celestron RSR Heavy Duty Monopod/Tripod adapter, which I had been unable to find in the US. Seven of those days my order languished in NY customs. That tells you something about how customer oriented Grovers Optics is. I would do business with them again in a NY minute!
