I needed a pair of binoculars for the grandchildren's trip to the coast, as they keep asking to see the seals. I wanted something sturdy that wouldn't be too fiddly for them to use. Your team helped me choose one and it arrived well in time, carefully wrapped. They have been thoroughly enjoying it.
Read moreWe were off to the Scottish coast for a week and I wanted something to spot the wildlife from the cliffs without lugging a huge scope about. Ordered on a Thursday and it took until the following Tuesday to turn up, which was a bit slow. The pair itself is decent for the money and the image is clear enough. The checkout asked me to create an account first which was a faff.
Read moreWhat struck me most was how patient the lady was when I rang up about which magnification to choose. She talked me through the difference between the two sizes and didn't rush me at all. The pair I went for has been a pleasure on my walks in the Lakes, and the price was perfectly reasonable. I'd happily order from them again.

Got the 8x42 pair for the football season and they're spot on, clear right to the edges. Ordered on the Tuesday, came Thursday, nothing to complain about. Checkout was quick on my phone too. Strap is a bit thin but I'm not bothered.

Went for the 10x50 pair and the image is sharp with almost no colour fringing, which is what I wanted for the hides. Ordered on the Friday and it arrived Monday. The only thing I'd flag is the lens caps are a bit loose, but they stay on. Well worth it.
Been ordering from them for about six years now and they've never let me down. Last time I bought a pair for the bird hide and the glasses arrived in two days, nicely packed with a lens cloth. Prices are fair and the site is easy to use on my tablet. I'd go back to them without thinking twice.
Looked at the sports shop first and they had basically the same pair but £20 dearer. Went with this site. Ordered Monday night, it was on my doorstep Wednesday. Really happy, will be back for the next pair.

Had a look at three or four places before settling on them, mostly because I wanted a pair for the hides and didn't know much about it. The site had a helpful guide that made the choice easy. The pair arrived quickly and the view through them is really crisp. Everything went smoothly from start to finish.
Honestly the best place I've found for binoculars after years of buying them. Prices are sensible, stock is good and it's always where I expect it to be on the site. Ordering takes two minutes.
Compared them with the high street optician's website and they were quite a bit cheaper for the same sort of pair. Delivery was slower though, took nearly a week. Fine in the end.
