Mar 20, 2021 Report

I had court appointed orders with specific deadlines. Patrick lied to me about certain bank applications that were not completed. After about 6 weeks, with a week before my consent orders for my divorce were meant to be completed, I contacted the bank directly and no application had been filed by my broker. After that I went straight to the bank that sorted it in 7 business days.

I ordered a filter directly from Tiffen from their website. It was an item not available from Tiffen resellers but they had it in stock. It took Tiffen days and days to process the order and them another ten days to ship. Not at all impressed with their fulfillment department. I would recommend avoiding ordering direct from Tiffen if possible.

I was fortunate enough to have Gerard Tiffen recommended to me, and always found his advice and assistance clear and invaluable. He got us a great rate and package and offered follow up advice when we needed it.
Going through the broker saved us money, and I never regretted it. I've recommended the firm to family and friends.
