Extremely overpriced.
**Update, I sent the email as requested, no response**
Today, I called CEF Alfreton to enquire about the availability of several items.
All were in stock so I made the 14 mile journey to purchase said items.
Upon collection/payment, the invoice total seemed to be quite excessive.
Once I'd returned home, I did a like for like comparison on Screwfix' website.
What cost me exactly £60.00 at CEF, would've cost £42.85 at Screwfix.
Yes it's my fault, yes I should've done the comparison before hand.
The purpose of my review is to advise others to do the comparison on the Screwfix website BEFORE buying. Not after like I stupidly did.

Thank you for your review and feedback Chris.
We are extremely sorry that on this occasion we have not provided you with an acceptable level of service, please accept our sincere apologies.
I am afraid no contact details are provided against this organic review and no order details are noted for me to obtain, so we are unable to get in contact with you by phone or email, please could you e-mail customer.services@cef.co.uk with your contact details and that this is in reference to a Trustpilot review and one of our team will contact you by return to discuss this issue.
