Another completely satisfactory purchase of used equipment from LCE. Descriptions of items are accurate and conservatively biased - if it says 'good condition' it's never less than that, and there's a... See more

A company I trust
A company I trust and have used on many occasions. I mainly buy used kit and have the confidence that all items will be examined and checked completely by competent and knowledgeable staff before being sent.
Exceptionally speedy delivery
Exceptionally speedy delivery.
Using DPD the most reliable carrier in my experience.
All boxed up.
Only minor gripe, no shoulder strap provided. To be fair it wasn’t listed, but a shame to have to purchase subsequently.
The lens was in good condition and as…
The lens was in good condition and as described. Moreover, Postal Service was brilliant, received the lens in only three days.
And it was a very good price 👍
Great Service and Advice Freely Given
Great Service and Advice Freely Given. I went to LCE in the Strand to pick up a few bits and pieces whilst there one of the staff who had a similar camera to mine helped me with a couple of settings on it I was having difficulty with, a great help, I will be shopping there again l.
Went into get a camera
Went into get a camera I had been looking at, and to get some more info on it. A gentleman (Mark) was very helpful, answering any questions I asked and giving lots of helpful useful tips and advice. I not only came away with a new camera but I also got a new flash as well. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for advice or good quality cameras.
A good experience.
The London Camera Exchange has been a good experience. Good pricing, quick delivery. On the delivery side DPD messed up, but LCE kept me in the loop, and made sure everything was good, and though it took a few extra days, it was all sorted. It wasn't their issue, but they stepped up.
Easy to order online and great delivery…
Easy to order online and great delivery time.
Good service with good customer communication
Good website design and rapid dispatch of camera. Good service and communication.
Pristine condition for a used lens
Pristine condition for a used lens. You would not be able to tell it was used, even the packaging looks brand new. Shipping was slower than I would have liked but that was an issue with the courier failing to turn up when they said they would.
Wholeheartedly recommend LCE
Excellent as always. Prompt delivery and helpful personal contact from staff.
Fast and easy transaction

Quick prompt service from LCE on anew purchase. But I have traded in cameras in the past (one camera , two lenses) and was happy with the deal. Fair price for all and I got the camera I wanted - and still have. Recommend to all camera enthusiasts.
Great online shopping experience
Easy ordering. Chester store coordinated with other stores in the group to ensure the item was shipped. Great communication throughout ordering, processing & delivery. Item delivered quickly & securely. Good choice of products, good quality and at competitive prices. Peace of mind knowing stores are available if needed.
Great to be able to speak to someone.
Prompt delivery and good communication with the store. Thank you for your assistance 😊.
Top service whether in-store or online
Unbelievably speedy service! Ordered at lunchtime and delivery was the very next day.
I've purchased multiple items from LCE's Chester store this year and always had amazing service and advice. It's good to know that the online service is just as reliable. Thank you.
