Stock sale result
After looking at your stock sale, it was good to see Lee Filters lens adapters on your list. As I had meant to add a missing size to complete my needs the offer was worth investigating. The size required was on your list, so an order was placed and delivery received very quickly. Ordering and payment method was easy to follow, with no problems. I was kept updated during the following days, until delivery.
First Class Service
A very easy and effective transition with LCE
A great price that was cheaper than the competition and delivered next day without extra charge.
Very impressive will be using again for sure!

Shout out to the two guys at the Reading branch. They were happy to let me play with the camera taking various photos and playing with the controls. They were able to answer my questions. The only reason I bought online is because they didn't have the lens I wanted in the store.

When I first placed my order there was a mix up and they had sold out. However the man who emailed me was very good at organising an alternative and it arrived promptly.
Well packaged. I was kept up to date with delivery .
Very fast service
Very fast service, great packaging of delicate lens (actually it looks tough as).
Great service...thankyou
Great service...thankyou! Quick and efficient delivery after an easy to use online ordering. Wish all companies were as easy to deal with. Very fair price too.
Fantastic Service from London Camera Exchange
I couldn’t be happier with my experience at the London Camera Exchange. Delivery was impressively quick, and their customer service truly went above and beyond. Shortly after placing my order, I received a friendly call informing me that the camera I had chosen was the last one available in my preferred colour. They explained that the box had a slight scuff, and, as a thoughtful gesture, they included a complimentary box of Polaroid film.
It’s rare to find a company that cares so much about customer satisfaction and ensures every detail is addressed. The camera arrived in perfect condition, and the bonus film was a wonderful surprise. I highly recommend London Camera Exchange for their excellent service, quick delivery, and genuine customer care. I’ll definitely be shopping with them again!
Great service quick delivery Thank you
No cash back given
Bought a camera which is the same price everywhere. Used LCE as TopCashback said 4% cash back for new customers and new products. That applied to me so bought through TopCashback link. No casbah given.

Great service and delivery times.i always get my secondhand gear from here
All went well except the delivery was not secure
All went well except that the delivery company left the box by the side door when we were out (with a picture of it there) rather than a picture of someone taking it with an open door which is what LCE said would be the case. At least the delivery company left it by the side door rather than the front door which is close to the street.
