Great customer experience
I ordered a very reasonably priced second hand tamron lense from this branch online.
Unfortunately I accidentally ordered the camera to the wrong address so called the store where I was given some great customer assistance from Alex. He requested a refund for me and then sent me a unique link to reorder the lense.
Thanks for all the help! I'm really happy with the service provided!
Disappointed
Bought a few items over the years and always been spot on, the last purchase left me a bit disappointed by the item condition. Wear to the front rim of the lens so the plastic is white instead of black, this is from a filter used by previous owner and the lens arrived very dusty/unclean. Paid a premium price for a not as described item.
Always great service from LCE
Always great service from LCE. My first choice when buying used gear - accurate descriptions and sensible pricing. Next day delivery too.

Nice being served by staff who have a passion for photography so the service they are providing becomes more of a pleasure to them. If you have a problem they do there best to sort it. Most of all, they pick the phone up! Regards Michael Lewis.
Excellent customer service
They managed to find the time on a busy Saturday afternoon to remove a rear lens cap that was stuck on my canon FD 28mm - and they didn’t charge me! Excellent customer service - I’ve bought from them before and will do so again.
excellent service
The website is easy to navigate, plenty of selection too.
I find I can buy with confidence because the items are often better than described.
Well done LCE and thank you
Excellent Customer Experience
Ordered a pair of binoculars online on a Sunday and received them on Tuesday. More impressed that Lauren at my local store contacted me on Monday to see if I wanted to collect from them rather than wait for delivery.
Clearly very well organised processes in place and was a really great experience once again 5*****

I visited the LCE store at Colchester to purchase a pair of Zeiss binoculars.
I was greeted by Lauren. She clearly had a great level of knowledge of the product, giving me her thoughts and recommendations, this gave me the confidence to make the purchase.
Unfortunately it is rare these days to see people in stores have this level of knowledge and enthusiasm for the products they are selling.
Thank you.
