Pre-Order Information

Thank you for choosing to pre-order your new equipment with Wilkinson Cameras.

Pre-ordering is the best way to secure high-demand or brand-new products before they officially go on sale. Below you’ll find everything you need to know about how the process works.


Estimated Dispatch Dates

  • If a dispatch date is known, it will be shown on the product page and confirmed again in your order confirmation email.
  • For brand-new products without a specified date, please allow approximately 3–4 weeks from the official launch date for the first stock to arrive.

Payment Options

  • Some products require payment in full. If you're paying by card or PayPal via our website, the full amount is taken at the time your order is placed.
  • If you’re paying using Finance, your payment schedule begins when your item is dispatched, not when you sign your agreement.
  • Selected products can be secured with a £99 deposit, which will be clearly stated on the product page.

How to Pay a Deposit

To place a deposit, simply contact us and let us know:

  • The product you'd like to pre-order
  • Your full name
  • Address
  • Phone number

We’ll then email you a secure payment link for the deposit amount.

When your item is in stock, we’ll contact you to arrange the remaining balance. You can complete this using any of our usual payment methods, including:

  • Credit/debit card
  • Finance
  • BACS (bank transfer)

Your item will be dispatched once full payment is received.


Store Collection Pre-Orders

Prefer to collect in-store? No problem! Just choose your local store from our Store Locator and we’ll arrange this for you.

  • A £99 deposit is required to secure your order.
  • The remainder is payable in-store when your item arrives.
  • Your chosen store will contact you as soon as your order is ready for collection.

Part-Exchange on Pre-Orders

Yes, we do accept part-exchange against pre-order items! Learn more here.

We understand you may wish to keep your current gear until your new item arrives. That’s fine — you can:

  • Send your part-exchange after receiving your new item, and we’ll pay the agreed value by BACS
  • Or send your equipment in advance — we’ll work with whatever suits you best

Why place a pre-order?

  • Secure stock before it goes on general sale
  • Be eligible for exclusive pre-order offers (see individual product pages)
  • Beat any future price increases
  • Be among the first to try the latest gear

Pre-Order Terms & Conditions

  • You can cancel at any time before dispatch for a full refund
  • After dispatch, our standard terms and conditions apply
  • Pre-orders are allocated on a first come, first served basis
  • If you’ve placed a deposit:
    • We’ll contact you by email first, then by phone (leaving a voicemail if available)
    • If no response is received within 48 hours, the item may be offered to the next customer in line
    • You’ll remain on the pre-order list unless you request to be removed
    • We will attempt this twice. If there’s still no response, we’ll remove your pre-order and confirm this by email

Warranty

Your warranty begins from the date your order is dispatched, not from the date you placed your pre-order.
