Great price with next day free delivery !
I had been looking to purchase the Dewalt Tote bag (DeWalt DWST82990-1 TSTAK Carrying Bag) for a while and noticed it for sale on the CEF website for around £20 lower than anywhere else. I purchased online and chose to have it delivered to the local store as I was going to be out the next day. I collected on my way back home the following day and very pleased with the product and service from CEF.....In this world of constant irritation, don't you just love it when a plan comes together !!

Would use again
Competatively priced, products do the job, quick delivery and good customer service. The initial order was delived within a day or two of ordering. Unfortunately, two of the products were damaged (reason for 4*'s), however, the process of requesting replacements was very straightforward (quick call and 2 pics sent to an email to prove damage) following which I received replacements the next day.
Would recommend and use again
