Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent firm to deal with

I have both bought and sold secondhand equipment with Wex and always find that prices offered are fair (buying and selling) and the equipment purchased matches or more often exceeds expectation.

Long term customer .

I have been a long term customer with Wex and trust them in any dealings, whether this is trading in my old gear for new gear or simply purchasing from them direct. They are reliable and know what they are doing regarding photo and video equipement. Their trade in website is the clearest to use and I find their valuations to be fair and reliable. The staff are very nice and always answer queries quickly. I have given them a 4 star rather than a 5 star due to my frustrations over delivery time. I live on the Island of Lewis and the courier they use can hold a package for up to a week once it gets to the Inverness depot where The Royal Mail can get a package from leaving the supplier to me in 3 days, including glass bottles.

As usual WEX didn’t disappoint

As usual WEX didn’t disappoint.
From the initial phone call, all the way to receiving the product the next day, the transaction was very smooth.

The customer service you receive from Wex is 2nd to none, and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Wex R10 purchase - highly recommended

I recently purchased the Canon R10, Lens and various accessories. With so many grey import sites about I finally settled on Wex. I spoke to a helpful person (Danny J) and they answered all my questions. The order arrived the next day and everything was perfect. I would highly recommend Wex - great service and delivery.

A great experience from trade in to dispatch of my new camera

Had a camera on pre order and was kept informed while waiting for dispatch which was good, had to speak to someone regarding a collection mix up which was dealt with quickly. A great experience from trade in to dispatch of my new camera.

Challenging part exchange experience

Making a purchase of used equipment online was fairly straightforward. Getting the credit online for goods traded in against the purchase was beyond me. But the phone support was outstanding.

Gone downhill lately

Gone downhill lately. They have let me down on two orders recently both times cancelling items the day before arrival, leaving me in a predicament before a job (yes I shouldn’t order kit last min) - I used to be able to rely on Wex and I just can’t any more.

The last order arrived in about 6 shipments for small items each with their own tracking so I got swamped with emails & texts, apparently they were mostly dispatched from separate stores. Probably can’t be helped but still - annoying. Absolutely loads and loads of plastic wrap around everything which isn’t needed.

Guy on the phone standoffish & defensive - not professional, no apology for missing items.

No reason to keep shopping here unless I have to.

Dear Alex,

We’re very sorry to hear about your recent experiences with WEX. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have items cancelled at short notice, particularly when you were relying on the equipment for an upcoming job.

We’re also sorry to hear about the number of separate deliveries and notifications you received, as well as your experience when speaking with our team. The service you describe is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and we apologise for the inconvenience and frustration caused.

We would be more than happy to investigate these issues further and look into what happened with both orders, including the cancelled items and your experience with our Contact Centre. Unfortunately, we currently have no reference to identify which order numbers or customer account this relates to.

If you could please contact us directly at customercare@wex.co.uk, providing your order number(s) or any other relevant details, we’ll be happy to investigate this further and address your concerns with the relevant teams.

Once again, please accept our sincere apologies for the disappointing experience.

Kind regards,
Peter
