CEF, through their online sales team and the City of London branch, worked really hard to ensure that I would receive some items that I needed as part of a work emergency. Highly recommend.

While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Good customer service. Also gave some good advise.

Large selection of products. However, the more economical range are online only, and the 'collect from store' is exactly same price as home delivery.

paid for next day delivery
paid for next day delivery, product never received. Contact numbers left with order, no calls received, delivery details says it was delivered but then turns out this was a failed attempt.
Very, very poor customer service. Extremely reluctant to ever use your services again.
