What customers say
I have had nothing but great experiences with Seawood's online store. Depending on when you place an order, they are always quick to prepare and ship your item, and it is always well packaged.
Need a Canadian passport photo? They make it EASY BREEZY. they know the requirements by heart and instruct you. No management needed by me. Which is great cause I am reading the print out from the website. I’m no expert! I’ve been trying to get this photo done right for about 2 years with no luck.
I went in with my Cannon A1 that had a shutter issue. I was asked to wait while a gentleman in the back took a look. He came out 5 minutes later with it working just like new. Just as gracefully as he appeared, he disappeared away. It was like a dream.
Fantastic experience! If you miss the old days of solid customer service, this place is for you. A little over a month ago I went in to buy a film camera (no knowledge or experience) and the person who helped me couldn't have been more welcoming, helpful and generous with their time / knowledge.
