Fantastic Service.

All the staff I spoke to were really helpful and managed to get my new camera to me over a bank holiday weekend!
It was truly impressive, so much so I ordered another cheap second hand camera from them three days later...

I’m always cautious about buying a used item, but the lens from LCE Manchester was exactly as described and with all original packaging. It would be nice if LCE offered a 12 month warranty like the two main competitors rather than the 6 months, so fingers crossed it doesn’t fail.

Great Customer Service

To take full advantage of a particular discount code, the item had to be put on line & not in store as I would normally do. Goods were dispatched within a hour of ordering and fully tracked with frequent notification on progress. They arrived following day as promised in stated time slot. Unfortunately they proved unsuitable but I was able to return them to my local store in Manchester, who could not have been more helpful and who processed everything from there. My Visa card was refunded the very same day. What more could one ask. Fabulous service, especially from the manager, Gary, in the Manchester LCE store.
