Great customer service!
Answered all my questions very quickly. Finding the camera I wanted was really easy!
A great first experience buying second-hand…
I had some concerns about buying second-hand but the lens was as described, delivered promptly and has performed well.
FYI: I was reluctant to buy from branches that take the lazy approach of describing the condition using a boiler-plate description rather than one specifically for the item they are selling!
Great and Fast service
Quick delivery, awesome camera
So quick with issue and delivery.
I placed the order and within the hour I was advised it was with the courier!
I bought the instax mini evo hybrid camera and mini film. I’m over the moon with my purchase. I’ve not stopped playing with it! Will definitely shop here again.
Super Fast Delivery
LCE, dealt with my purchases with a speedy and effective manner, sending out my items in 2 separate packages a day or so apart in order that they arrived as soon as possible there than delay until all items were in stock. Big thumbs up for their excellent customer service.
You always get what it says on the tin
The great thing about LCE is that, no matter the branch - mine is the Reading team, headed up by Andy - you get what it says on the tin; excellent pre-purchase info, excellent quality second-hand items and, phenomenally speedy delivery! I've used them for at least 25 years, and I reckon they're one of the few remaining dealers that actually maintain their quality of customer experience.

My Insta 306 X3 arrived quickly.
I would have give 5 stars but the micro SD card supplied as part of the bundle doesn’t have a fast enough write speed to support all the X3’s functionality E.g. HDR360 video @ 5.7k
