Reply from London Camera Exchange - Hereford
Dear Paul
Thank you for your review, and I am very sorry that the used lens you purchased arrived with a fault. We have now received the lens back at our Hereford store, and upon further inspection, we found that the fault is intermittent, which explains why it was not identified prior to shipping.
The lens is currently undergoing repair, and we trust that we have been able to resolve the issue swiftly without causing you too much inconvenience. Please accept our sincere apologies for the trouble caused, and thank you for your patience and understanding.
Kind regards,
Your LCE Team
Have always shopped at LCE
Have always shopped at LCE. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They explain things clearly and don’t push for a sale. I have also previously traded in gear when upgrading and got the best price. My latest purchase was online, but I usually visit my local store (Derby) if I need advice beforehand.
