A great service, I found a second hand Canon EF 2X III Extender, that I was told later had only just come in to the shop, and ordered it, albeit after 2pm so it wouldn't be next day delivery. The e... See more

THE BEST customer service

THE BEST customer service. Five stars are not enough. When I need another second hand camera I won’t bother to look anywhere else I will come straight here. The customer service is faultless. When there was an unforeseen problem with my camera they sorted the whole thing out without a quibble and every email was kind. What more can you ask?

Brilliant service with easy returns

Absolutely brilliant service from the Newcastle branch. I bought a used Sigma 50mm 1.4 but ended up returning it as I was not happy with it.

The returns process was easy and fast. The staff were a pleasure to deal with. Delivery to Northern Ireland was next day (brilliant as it was free).

Highly recommend!

After complaining about poor service …

After complaining about poor service from one branch of lce it was soon remied with the expertise from another branch who fell over backwards to help. The product was as described , delivery was 100%received the item next day which was free as spent over £100.The only downfall was the outer packaging was very gritty (could have been better)!Have used this company several times they never let you down when buying something. The only thing that needs to change is the way you can purchase items problems with certain branches using links to buy stuff never work! being able to put your items in the basket like other shops you never get a problem so please lce give all shops the power to use the latter as it is frustrating when you have lost an item waiting for the link to arrive,also you are restricted buying with your card over the phone.

Really helpful people who are genuinely interested.

Very helpful phone call with the Newcastle branch who was genuinely interested in the sort of camera I was looking for. She found the one I had seen tried it and gave me feedback on the results. She then directed me to another camera in Hereford which she said would be even better for my gransdson who wanted an optical zoom for photograph birds. The Hereford shop was equally helpful ensuring that the camera was prosted directly to my grandson.

Fantastic customer service from Lisa…

Fantastic customer service from Lisa who located the camera I’ve been trying to buy for many weeks across multiple retailers and gave me first opportunity to purchase. Now a happy photographer ready for a holiday shoot. 😀

Excellent mail order service.

My ‘local’ LCE store is the Southampton (Civic Centre) branch where the service is always exemplary.
When I saw that the Newcastle branch had a used example of a lens I wanted I had no hesitation in ordering it.
My e-mails were dealt with, promptly and efficiently, by Richie and the lens was delivered to me the next day.
Although the lens was ‘used’ it was in perfect condition and I was delighted with it.
The Newcastle branch lived up to the extremely high standards I have come to expect from LCE.
Thank you.
