Reliable Company with Competitive Prices

Perfect service from ordering online (I did check with my local store, as I believe in supporting local where I can) it they said the product I wanted had to come online as they didn’t stock the item at my local store. From ordering my Sony camcorder battery to it arriving at home was less then 24 hours and it had free postage too. Highly recommended LCE

Why I use LCE

Simple, straightforward on-line order. When I made an on-line enquiry the response was quick and helpful.
I have always found London Camera Exchange to be knowledgeable, helpful and reliable.

Cost of postage to Northern Ireland…

Cost of postage to Northern Ireland when all other camera shops in the Uk just charge you for posting only no surcharge. postage is around £3.00.

Reply from London Camera Exchange - Southampton

Dear Sidney Donnell,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We’re sorry that a surcharge applies to deliveries to Northern Ireland. Unfortunately, this is a fee imposed by our couriers, and we actually subsidise part of this cost ourselves to keep it as low as possible for our customers.

You were in contact with us several times prior to placing your order, during which this was fully explained. We do hope that the significant savings on the item you purchased helped to offset the surcharge and that you still felt you received great value overall.

Kind regards,

Your LCE Team
