Hi Selim,

Thank you for your review and I understand that you are awaiting delivery of your order.

Online orders can be sourced from any of our stores across the UK and usually, the product is delivered in 1 to 3 working days, but we request that you allow up to 14 days. This time allows us to effectively track and resolve any potential issues with lost orders, ensuring a smooth delivery experience.

Whilst we do not have a dedicated contact line, our customers can raise any issues with their order via our support page or our social media channels.

As you have been in touch with us via email, my colleague has initiated an investigation and will get back to you with a response in due course.

Hi Aled,

Thank you for your review and I am sorry that your recent orders were cancelled.

Our stores make every effort to fulfil customer orders and we have guidelines in place to check the product specifications while processing them. However, at times, the stores notice that the item is incorrect, missing or unfit for online sale, thus, to avoid the inconvenience of returning the item to us, such orders are cancelled.

With the way our system works, we try to assign this item to another store depending on availability, however, this is not possible every time.

If you wish to make a similar purchase once they come in stock, please contact us via our support page https://tinyurl.com/5xv574ut with the subject line "Trustpilot 21920029" and I will be happy to assist you further.

Regards,
Ashwin

Hi,

Thank you for reviewing us on Trustpilot, and I’m sorry that your recent WeBuy order took longer than expected.

In line with our business process, all WeBuy orders received at our warehouse are booked for testing on a first-come first-service basis. We endeavour to process all orders within a week; however, due to high volume, it may take longer in some instances.

As per our records, your items were tested within a week from being delivered, and we were awaiting your confirmation on the updated price.

If you would like to discuss this further or need any additional information, please feel free to get back to us on the existing email thread, and I’ll be happy to assist you further.

Regards,
Viraj.

Worst Customer Service

1. Twice returned purchased items from CEX one was incorrect items sent and the other didn't work.
There does not seem to be ANY quality control to testing of products before selling.
2. Only way to contact CEX is via FaceBook or email, which you need to wait for a reply for some time. Issues could have been resolved in two minutes if I had the option to speak to a Human.
3. Never again buy from CEX online very bad Customer Service.

Please know that your concerns have been heard and are being taken seriously.

We fully acknowledge your concerns regarding the items you received as well as the level of service experienced during this time.

We want to assure you that your feedback has been escalated to our store management team and will also be brought to the attention of senior management for thorough review and further evaluation. We are actively taking steps to assess and strengthen our internal processes to help prevent similar issues from arising in the future, and feedback such as yours plays a valuable role in helping us identify areas where improvement is needed.

We are continuously working to enhance our communication channels and improve the overall efficiency of our customer support.

Unfortunately giving a 1 star since it’s been 4 days and yet to hear back the reason why I didn’t receive £113 for my camera

Watford CEX - staff were extremely friendly but for some reason I was not paid for dropping off my canon Ixus 185 on Saturday - had no emails or calls. I contact the form and it’s useless as they don’t reply

Order 21945417

I was paid on the spot for the games but camera was not paid and suggests on app I should’ve been paid

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your review. I understand your concerns regarding the wait time for payment for your camera.

While we always aim to complete testing and process payments as quickly as possible, there are occasions where this may take longer than expected. This can be due to higher volumes of items being assessed or the more complex nature of certain products, which require additional checks.

Our customer support is managed via email and social media platforms. We strive to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours; however, response times may occasionally be extended where coordination with internal teams is required to provide an accurate update.

I will continue to address your concerns through the ongoing email thread. Should you have any further questions in the meantime, please feel free to reply there.

Regards,
Jessica

Super-fast delivery and items better than described

I tried CEX for the first time as i was looking for some genuine Sony PS5 Midnight Black console covers for my PS5 Digital with disc drive. CEX had 5 in stock and although they weren't cheap, I decided to register for an account and bought a set. Despite ordering on a Sunday, the panels arrived the very next day. They were all in their original factory packaging, completely undamaged and fitted perfectly. Thank you for such fast and efficient service and for providing panels that were as new and much better than I had expected.
