Very helpful counter staff
Very helpful counter staff. Placed an additional order on line and collected from counter later. Part of one item was faulty but branch provided a replacement without any problem. Not impressed to be told there would be a £15 delivery charge for one (£18) item which was out of stock. Bought the product from elsewhere.

Thank you for your review and feedback.
We are extremely sorry that on this occasion we have not provided you with an acceptable level of service, please accept our sincere apologies.
I am afraid no contact details are provided against this review and your order number is not noted for me to obtain, so we are unable to get in contact with you by phone or email, please could you e-mail customer.services@cef.co.uk with your contact details and that this is in reference to a Trustpilot review and one of our team will contact you by return to discuss this issue.
