Great service, knowledgeable staff.
I bought my Canon kit from LCE Winchester and spoke with Ben a few times. A fair price was given for a Nikon kit I was part-exing. He was knowledgeable, pleasant and sorted out a slight faux pa, on my behalf, without any issue. I will definitely consider using them again for future purchases.

This was probably the best customer experience I have ever received. I received a notification to say my camera was in stock and ordered it that day, I then received further updates throughout the day that my order was being processed, passed to a branch and that my order had been dispatched to them, the next day my camera was delivered, I couldn't have asked for better service, thank you

Service from LCE was fine, but their choice of DPD as a courier meant it took four days to arrive.
