Excellent Service from the London Camera Exchange
I did loads of research before purchasing my Zeiss SFL binoculars.
The store that offered the best price with 12 months interest free credit was the London Camera Exchange (LCE)
Their online service was fabulous…throughout the process they kept me updated with my order with the location of the store that were processing my purchase.
I then received my binoculars in an extremely well package box within 3 days…I would thoroughly recommend LCE.

I have not received the item yet from the courier. Poor service and poor communication from DHL. From previous experience with LCE I am sure the item will be good - assuming it arrives, of course.

Reply from London Camera Exchange - Bristol
Hi,
I am really sorry for the delay to your online order. According to the DHL delivery logs, your parcel was delayed at the Birmingham depot for 3 days with no explanation why.
In future we will do better with our communication on our side, even if the fault is with the courier.
We hope your next experience with us will be delay free 😊
Best regards
The LCE Team
Swarovski part exchange with Mark at the Bristol shop.
I dealt with Mark in the Bristol office and he gave me excellent service. I traded in my large telescopes in part exchange for the new swarovski balance scope. I was offered a very fair part exchange price, and all of my dealings were handled in a very professional, and competent manner.
It has been a pleasure dealing with LCE and I would happily go back to them.
Many thanks. Geoff Gamble.
