Central Spy Shop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Jaden is AWESOME!
Thank you for the review !!
Negative experience: This is a horrible place to do business. I bought a camera from them and it didn't work or connect to my WiFi like it was supposed to. I called for assistance and they couldn't help me over the phone. They told me to bring it back. When I brought it back, they couldn't get it to work either at first. Then she was able to connect to the camera but it was not connected to the WiFi at the shop, it was connected to Verizon. So, I asked to return it because it wasn't operational as advertised. She refused to refund my money. Don't buy anything from here.
This is a great place to do business. That is why we have been open for over 12 years. We told customer to bring the camera back so we could determine if it was user error or something else. Once he arrived, we had the camera hooked up in less than a minute and it worked perfectly. Our camera’s have nothing to do with Verizon, that’s your mobile service. And if you could view the camera from just your Verizon phone network that means it was successfully communicating with the camera using the Wi-Fi where the camera is and it works fine. This camera is top of the line and has a year warranty. We even offered to swap it out with a new one just to make the customer happy. We have always been straightforward with our return policies which are written in large letters on our shop wall as well as the customer’s receipt. We are a small business and simply cannot return something after weeks that works fine when we test it. Most of our products, especially our high-end cameras have a warranty if they are defective. This one was not.
Fantastic experience: Very diverse stock. Ended up finding things to do magic too
Thank you for the kind review. Come back soon.
Fantastic experience: I went there years back Keely was working there at the time. She was amazing
Yes, Keely was great..!! Visit again soon.
Fantastic experience: Reminds a lot of the spy museum gift shop in DC was really cool!
Thank you for your great review!! Come back soon.
Fantastic experience: Had the most amazing experience with Natalia. I walked in feeling some type of way and she quickly turned things around. If you simply want to experience great customer service because you haven't had it in a while stop by Spy Central on Hwy 6 N and ask for this young lady. She went above and beyond her call of duty. I did not ask for anything special she just served it up. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and polite, and she has manners! I had to let her know that I hadn't had great in-person customer service in a long time. Natalia was my "Day Maker"! Even if you have to drive a ways the customer service is worth it. Once again Natalia did not disappoint! I walked in with a problem and left with a solution. She is serving up some of the best customer service in town. For the latest gadgets in spyware this is your spot! For some of the best customer service in town this too is your spot!
We love Natalia!! Thank you for the review.
Negative experience: Horrible. You've been warned. Just use Amazon. + it says they're open until 5:00. 3:30 is more accurate. I would suggest getting there before lunchtime.
Sir, we are open from 10-5 M-F and 10-4 Saturday. We periodically close at lunch and eat in our shopping center with a note to call us and we can come open the store as needed (simply from lunch) as we are short staffed. As far as your Amazon comment, most of our customers used amazon and received faulty or knock-off products with no customer service. Then they then end up coming to our shop getting free demonstrations of our products so they know exactly what they are getting including a warranty on most items. Thanks for the review.

Fantastic experience: Hey cool! A magic shop in Houston! It says Spy Shop but about half the display area is magic paraphanelia, as in prestidigitation. They actually have a respectable selection.
Thank you so much for the great review !

Thanks for the review !
Fantastic experience: Olivia is just amazing. Thanks 'Spy Shop'!
Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: So the people here are so knowledgeable and friendly. Great suggestions on how to protect yourself legally and the working knowledge of the products is great. I was really impressed with this particular item that not only has a bluetooth capability to jam music with, but has 1080 hd wifi spy cam. Plus it can charge your phone by simply laying your phone on top of it. Lots of cool stuff to check out.
Fantastic experience: This is a great store not only do they have nanny cams, but they have magic items to help you become a professional magician. It’s pretty impressive with everything they have inside. I’ve never been in a spy store before and the items they have are truly top of the line. I went in today for a nanny cam for my house and they had exactly what I was searching for. The associate who helped me is name Olivia. Olivia you are a blessing. She is so kind, understanding, and very knowledgeable when it comes to setting these things up. The nanny cam she helped me pick out is great! The color quality is fantastic and it’s easy to make out the images very very clear. I definitely will be back in the future for any nanny cams If I may need one again. I do hope you guys expand in to more stores over by the galleria and Bellaire area y’all have true potential to build more business & clientele in those areas & in a bigger location you can sell more spy or nanny cam supplies. Thank you again Gabriel S.
Thank you so much for your review and the time you took to write it. We truly appreciate good detailed feedback like yours. Visit us anytime !

Fantastic experience: I bought a magnetic gps tracker from a local shop made by Landairsea...easy to set up and I can't wait to catch the liar!!!
That is what we are here for !! Come back if you need any additional equipment.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place, cool stuff .. Olivia was very helpful in finding me what I needed!
Thank you for the great review !

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my purchase here.. The Tracker works really good! And I bought their only Batman Mask as a souvenir.. haha.. And the girl that works there was sooo Pretty, fell in love at first sight! Lol.. And she was very helpful and answered all my questions.. 5 Stars!
Thank you so much for the review !! We really appreciate it.. come back soon.
Fantastic experience: Was great I feel like James Bond
Positive experience: Make sure you know what you're looking for and do some research cuz they dont always know what they have or will sell you the wrong item. Research ing will save you time and headache
Fantastic experience: Natalia was very helpful, my children loved the store!
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed it, was shown items, able to see how they worked. Specifically went in for a stun gun, so it was helpful to be able to hold and see how the worked and sounded.
Negative experience: The product I purchased on 11/21/19 did not work and they would not refund my money when I tried to return the next day 11/22/19. Will not purchase ANYTHING ELSE from them! Having to call the customer service for the product to get any results. Definitely will not reccomend the store!
Fantastic experience: It’s a spy shop.
Fantastic experience: Love the shop. Natalia really helped me out with helping me with my dad. I definitely will come back and refer people
Fantastic experience: Damn good store
Fantastic experience: Came in the other day and a nice lady named Natalia helped me. She was very helpful showing me how to set up my new camera! Went out of her way to even show me how to do a few magic tricks I bought for my son. This store has a lot of cool gadgets and a magic shop. Thank you Natalia! Definitely will be coming back!!!
Fantastic experience: Came here to get the *EDITED FOR PRIVACY* I've always wanted. Very cool store with great selection..highly recommend.
Positive experience: Customer service was unsatisfactory. 'Previous visit was excellent.'
Positive experience: Kinda neat. Magic and surveillance shop.
Negative experience: They have a sign which reads, “Be nice or leave.” Good advice they don’t follow. The lady seemed bothered by my questions and did not want to help. When I finally made a decision I was informed I could not bring the camera back if it didn’t perform well. They only do in store credit for malfunctions, which is a good sign they sell poor quality products. Rude and they don’t stand behind their products. The stuff looks cool, hope you have better luck if you decide to go. Oh, and all their stuff is available much cheaper online. Just sayin... Your response is not accurate, nor was that marketing person in your store when I was. You’ve received an accurate score from me and honest feedback. I encourage you to make it a teachable moment or ignore it. Berating your customers online further illustrates my point of how rudely I was treated in your store. I’ll send a friend to shop you again and see how you do. Try a smile :) Have a great weekend! You sure could use it. Lol
Positive experience: I always feel watched when I walk around in here. Neat stuff, but the shop that used to be downtown seemed less flashy and gave the impression that their tools/electronics were useful and not just overpriced novelties. Get the keychain lockpicks in stock, I didn't see them on your website.
Fantastic experience: They have all different types of gadgets for spying fairly pricy
Fantastic experience: Cool tricks and great customer service.
Fantastic experience: Was headed to the dollar store when I passed up this shop! Decided to stop by just to check it out since I live around the corner. Neat little store full of spy gear as well as magic stuff! Very friendly staff they were able to explain to me what the shop was about. Never thought there was ever such a place like this so close to home. Definitely recommend coming here for any spy needs you may have. As well as if you have a magician in training this is the spot!! Thank you Central Spy Shop for the hospitality.
Negative experience: Store would not admit their mistake after selling me the wrong camera and refused to give me a full refund. I went to this store thinking i could get better service in person instead of Online, I described the camera i needed and was assured the camera they sold me would do what i needed. When it came time to use the camera, it was not as described and did not have the capabilities that i asked for. Went back to the store to return the item, but Keely refused to admit her mistake and did not even know how the camera worked when i asked her to demonstrate its functionalities. I gave her my information to have the owner contact me, but was never contacted. I Should have know from the other negative ratings that you guys do not admit to wrongdoings. Every negative you get, you blame the customer, Never admit wrong doing to keep your money right.
Fantastic experience: Sweetness
Fantastic experience: Keely was very friendly and patient definitely recommend this place if your looking for fun and affordable magic tricks for fun! They also have awesome spying material.
Fantastic experience: Pretty cool store , passed the sign up while I was driving and came in to check it out . Awesome gadgets, & very nice staff!
Fantastic experience: good found lockpicks and were helpful
Positive experience: Great store for Investigation tools. My only disappointment was that I expected it to be much larger with much much more merchandise; it seemed like a quaint little store...but great.
Positive experience: Not too shabby for suburban spy shop!!

Fantastic experience: These are good guys... Seem to be knowledgeable and competent.
Fantastic experience: The central spy shop has loads of cool gadgets! The staff is very helpful & they also have great prices. Very detailed about the products they provide and how they work.

Fantastic experience: Zach was the representative inside the store when I went in. He gave me a tour of all the products available within the entire store. There were a lot of different products to choose from, everything from safes to home alarm systems to taser guns. A little bit of something for everyone there.
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable staff, lots of products to choose from. The salesperson Zach answered all my questions, very professional. I drove all the way from Stafford Tx just to shop here at Central Spy Shop. Good prices!
Fantastic experience: The nice young man, Zach, helped me select two items that I needed. I looked at almost everything in the store and Zach answered many questions that I had. He was so helpful and considerate. Thank you for all your courtesies. I will definitely shop here again.
Fantastic experience: The handsome young man named Zach was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He knew all about the security devices I needed for my mom and was very patient. We were able to pick the right device for her and now she feels extra safe. We will be returning over and over. Update: Great customer service. I needed a new camera and they were able to meet my needs right away! Excellent customer service.
Fantastic experience: I stopped into the spy shop not knowing where to start! I was greeted by the manager Priscella, and she was friendly, knowledgable about all the inventory and so helpful. All of my questions were answered down to the details. I was shown live demos and totally impressed. Can't wait to go back!
Fantastic experience: Nice store!!
Fantastic experience: This spy shop has great products and customer service. I highly recommend.

Thank you for the excellent review !
Fantastic experience: great customer service, sales associate was very knowledgeable of devices and other items. Also the prices are the best around town.
Fantastic experience: Very interesting products and young lady working there was very helpful. Definitely going back
Negative experience: Guys make sure you obtain some kind of warranty when purchasing any items from this store. I totally regret spending close to $1000 on a phone recorder and air freshener camera recorder without a warranty. When I first walked in the store, I specifically asked for an audio and video recorder air freshener. I told them I needed evidence for court purposes. They sold me their items with no problems. I believed in them and trusted everything they had to say. After, using my item a few weeks after purchase, I realized I didn't hear any type of sound when viewing my videos. I thought there was something wrong with the audio. I called the store and spoke with a different person (not the one that sold me the items). She said it's illegal to audio record someone without their consent according to Texas Laws. Really I would not had spent $1000 if I was given this information to begin with. I was misinformed. I wasn't able to exchange it either because their items only have like a 7 day warranty (horrible). They need to upgrade on their protection plans to keep customers happy. By the way, the air freshener recorder is no longer recording. Waste of money. Very upset customer. Poor quality items!!! Get warranty!!!
Fantastic experience: Great customer service! Learned a lot from the young lady that works at the highway 6 location. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great customer service love the store
