CHOOSE HOW YOU RECEIVE YOUR KIT

HOME DELIVERY

We offer fast, reliable home delivery across mainland UK. Choose your loan start date at checkout, and we’ll deliver your equipment the working day before — with pre-12pm delivery as standard. Your 48-hour free trial begins the next day! Once your test is complete, returning it is easy: either hand it to the courier from your home address, drop it off at a local courier depot, or use one of our participating photo dealers. Returns are fully tracked and labelled.

CLICK & COLLECT

Prefer to pick up in person? You can collect and return your trial equipment from one of over 25 independent photo and video retailers across the UK. Simply choose your preferred Canon dealer at checkout, and we’ll deliver the gear to the store ready for your loan start date. You can collect it the afternoon before your 48-hour trial begins, and you’ll return it to the same location at the end of your test (in fact, the morning after!). It’s a great way to combine hands-on testing with local advice from experienced specialists.
