I bought a Mamiya C330 and it has performed exactly how I would expect it too. The price was good for the many examples I have seen in the past. The buying process was very simple and I received the... See more

A great service, I found a second hand Canon EF 2X III Extender, that I was told later had only just come in to the shop, and ordered it, albeit after 2pm so it wouldn't be next day delivery. The e... See more

After complaining about poor service …
After complaining about poor service from one branch of lce it was soon remied with the expertise from another branch who fell over backwards to help. The product was as described , delivery was 100%received the item next day which was free as spent over £100.The only downfall was the outer packaging was very gritty (could have been better)!Have used this company several times they never let you down when buying something. The only thing that needs to change is the way you can purchase items problems with certain branches using links to buy stuff never work! being able to put your items in the basket like other shops you never get a problem so please lce give all shops the power to use the latter as it is frustrating when you have lost an item waiting for the link to arrive,also you are restricted buying with your card over the phone.

As I live across the water(channel islands) I was afraid that i was being scammed at first (always a worry when ordering from a place one has never ordered before ),with all the emails that said it was here but was not and forever checking my mailbox theres was no sign "oh me of little faith".. I was not,scammed and I have in my hands my orders YIPPEEEEEEE!!!! 5 Stars to LCE .
Really helpful people who are genuinely interested.
Very helpful phone call with the Newcastle branch who was genuinely interested in the sort of camera I was looking for. She found the one I had seen tried it and gave me feedback on the results. She then directed me to another camera in Hereford which she said would be even better for my gransdson who wanted an optical zoom for photograph birds. The Hereford shop was equally helpful ensuring that the camera was prosted directly to my grandson.
Really friendly and helpful staff
Really friendly and helpful staff. Very quick turnaround for online purchase.
Fantastic customer service from Lisa…
Fantastic customer service from Lisa who located the camera I’ve been trying to buy for many weeks across multiple retailers and gave me first opportunity to purchase. Now a happy photographer ready for a holiday shoot. 😀
Excellent mail order service.
My ‘local’ LCE store is the Southampton (Civic Centre) branch where the service is always exemplary.
When I saw that the Newcastle branch had a used example of a lens I wanted I had no hesitation in ordering it.
My e-mails were dealt with, promptly and efficiently, by Richie and the lens was delivered to me the next day.
Although the lens was ‘used’ it was in perfect condition and I was delighted with it.
The Newcastle branch lived up to the extremely high standards I have come to expect from LCE.
Thank you.
Speedy Service
Asked for a link on the Friday night, heard back by Saturday morning, dispatched that afternoon, arrived the Tuesday. Excellent packaging, swift communication, great service. Will buy from again.

Used this company twice
Used this company twice, twice the staff couldn't have been more helpful if they tried. Patient with me as novice and great service. Great price. Great delivery service!!
Previously outstanding with my autistic adult son talking in layman's terms, who was looking for his first canon camera and needed help.
