  • "A genuinely great company! Fantastic service; literally nothing was too much trouble and the communications throughout were very friendly and efficient."

  • "Rebecca and Josh hit the bullseye on customer service, courtesy and support."
  • "Great professional and speedy service, the guys took their time explaining everything I needed to know before my purchase."

Cons:

  • "They treated me like a complete and gullible fool."
  • "That was 8 weeks ago and still waiting for his call back."
  • "Rude staff who just wanted to sell anything regardless as to whether it was what I needed and then tried to inflate prices."
  • "When returning the bipod the same guy was rude, unhelpful and change everything he had said from a few days before."
  • "Two guys working in the shop did nothing but argue with each other and when I asked a question about a rifle I had bought from there weeks earlier got no reply through plain ignorance."
  • "As Ethan processed my refund, he offered no explanation nor word of apology."
  • "The older guy that works there is abrupt and aggressive and seems to have no respect for anyone."

Product Selection and Availability

Pros:

  • "Brought a GAMO phox 22. from drapers in Nottingham last week staff was very helpful told me all about the GAMO phox information SPOT ON Many thanks."
  • "Yes drapers has great choice, friendly staff (when they're not busy and depending who you get), servicing if you need to pay for it."
  • "They had exactly what I was looking for."
  • "Went shopping for a particular brand of gun. Rebecca was very helpful in finding the brand and model I was looking for."
  • "Probably the biggest selection of sub 12ft/lb airguns in the county."
  • "Great range of air rifles and knives!"
  • "Great selection of air pistols and rifles to suit all tastes and budgets, guy who served me was really helpful and demonstrated the pistol out of the box."

Cons:

  • "Won’t be buying anything else from them in the future."
  • "They are still generally more expensive than anyone else and because there aren't many other airgun shops in Nottingham, they can adjust their prices accordingly."
  • "One of a kind in Nottingham as far as I know. Expensive and much better deals to be had online if you know what you want."
  • "I was looking to trade an airgun I had purchased from them in for something different. They offered me 10% of what I paid then claimed they were doing me a favour."
  • "When I got home I discovered I had been sold second hand goods that had been passed off as new."
  • "The inflated prices just spoil what is generally a great shop."
  • "If you want to pay 20-30% more than usual retail price for anything or if you'd like to buy old 2nd hand guns for more than a brand new model sells for elsewhere then this is the shop for you."
