LCE are ACE
I've been trading with London Camera Exchange for over 20 years. Their used section is by far the best in the land. Customer service is second to none. Returning an item is hassle free. In my opinion LCE are ACE.

Great service and communication.
The transaction was easy and straight forward. The item was dispatched the same day and received by me the following day. I was kept informed of status throughout. The item was ex display and in mint condition but with full warranty at a competitive price.

Immediate Replacement
The first delivery was cancelled by DPD. I told LCE and they immediately replaced the order. It’s a good test to see reactions when something goes wrong.

Absolutely Flawless Experience
When a business does this well, they deserve timely review to support their reputation.
Using London Camera Exchange for the first time, it was the only online camera store I could find to have a Godox TT350c flash in stock. Upon ordering the flash from their online store late at night I got notification in the morning, that the order will be fulfilled by their Portsmouth branch, which is basically the other end of the country as I am in Aberdeen up North East.
They have chosen possibly the best delivery company in Britain nowadays, which is DPD, and I got the flash next day, well it just arrived moments ago. This means I will be able to use the flash for New Year photos.
You have absolutely aced it guys! Thanks a lot! One well organised chain of stores!
