"Be aware if ordering from abroad"

Be aware if ordering from abroad. I ordered a Canon lens hood, initially the delivery charge of 8 pounds was included in the PayPal transaction, a day later they make me pay 26 pounds more for delivery, and this for an item that is 200 grams, unbelievable! Just a way of making money. I often order from the UK and it is not this expensive for a small item.

"Very Bad, Buyer Beware!!!"

Had to return an item. Sent recorded delivery but company claims they dont have it and refuse to give a refund. Looks like i will have to get my money back from Paypal instead. Best avoid and go with a more reputable company. Lesson Learned !!!

"Fantastic service at a great price!"

I live in the U.S. I needed a new motherboard for my telescope mount. They where the only ones that had it at a reasonable price. I sent a few e-mails and got a response each time. I ordered my board and it showed up in the U.S. within 2 days. I couldn't believe it. Service in the US isn't close to what I got with Microglobe!!! You guys are awesome.

"I got my thing within 2 days"

I ordered my thing 11pm. Order confirmation received. Order processing confirmation email received the next day. My thing arrived the day after that.

I can't fault them. I've never used them before so was cautious about parting with £400. But all went well.

Microglobe is a real shop near the British Museum. Those small London backstreets don't allow for mega stores. But they do seem to have an impressive inventory stored somewhere.

There is some quirk with the current order workflow that told me "this token has already been used" but upon checking Paypal only one transaction took place. I've reported this to them and I'm sure they'll sort it out.

I used these guys because the thing I wanted was either out of stock or over priced elsewhere. I got a good deal and the package was very well protected.

"Excellent service"

Ordered a pair of Barr & Stroud binoculars 14 February, delivered 26 February, very securely packaged. Microglobes price was over 30%cheaper than most other websites so I got a great deal. Would not hesitate to order again. Excellent service

"Smooth and easy"

Based on my own experience, I would not question returning to purchase again.
Ordered item Friday morning and paid for Saturday delivery.
Received confirmation of posting within an hour and item delivered next morning.
Couldn't have asked for more, thank you.

"Dubious dealer"

I ordered an item there for the first time, which is not available anywhere in my home country Germany. So I decide to order from another country. In this example from UK from the retailer Microglobe.

I placed the order in the online store, and also gave my address in Germany. The shipping costs were accordingly higher. One day later I received an unfounded cancellation of my order, which surprised me very much, because the article was shown as in stock. I have then asked why the cancellation was carried out. I was then informed that the article was supposedly ordered twice, although I was sure that I had ordered only once. Anyway, I was suddenly asked for another payment of 24 pounds, and that I should pay this via Paypal. I did not agree, because I have already placed the order at the appropriate price. After my complaint is suddenly noticed that it should actually only be 12 pounds. With reluctance I have sent the amount still after. The whole thing seems very unserious to me. I then decided to cancel the order. I sent a mail asking for immediate cancellation. One day later the goods were shipped anyway my e-mail was ignored. This is an absolute impudence, and unserious. I do not recommend ordering here, I will not do it again.
