Excellent deal with trade in of an older camera for a newer version. Price paid for the trade-in was as offered at the outset. Good communication from LCE and their carrier DPD.

Very straighforward, and the lens (very happy with Condition rating) was dispatched the same day. Only gripe was your courier DPD who said they'd deliver the following day in a particular 1 hr slot.... See more

Great service

Having ordered a piece of used equipment, the branch had difficulty locating it. Communication was very prompt and very apologetic and a refund was immediately issued. However, when the same item was subsequently located a short time after, I was contacted and asked if I'd still be interested in it, with the sale price held. The item was packaged and sent the same day, arriving with me the following day.
Customer service metrics should include how things are managed when they go wrong and I can't fault this branch who took ownership and responsibility and instead of hiding behind a problem, maintained dialogue that resulted in a very satisfied customer. Great job.

Great service, great product, speedy delivery

Bought a second hand camera , found which branch it was at, talked to a really helpful young man in Derby, who got the camera out and checked it and answered questions whilst we talked on the phone. Expedited the deliver and even phoned me back to say they had got it on that days delivery pickup. Product itself all boxed , no different to buying it new, Brilliant.

First time I have purchased used…

First time I have purchased used photographic gear without first viewing and the experience was made far less anxiety provoking thanks to some initial contact with the excellent Sammi from the outlet in Bath. I subsequently purchased on line from the Derby store and felt far more confident in doing so. The used lens arrived promptly and very well packaged. It had been described as ‘good’ condition but I would have called it very good condition. Thank you very much
