Delivery problems let down LCE
No problem with LCE, lens arrived well packaged and as described.
The problems were with DPD who failed to deliver the lens as promised. I have contacted them with my concerns

Very satisfactory transaction
Very satisfactory transaction. Accurate information, helpful staff member and a quick despatch. All straightforward. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the delivery company, who got my address wrong! I had to phone to correct it. In the end the item arrived on time, due in no small part to the driver, who had to work through the atrocious weather during Friday's storm. My congratulations to him.
B*gger off!

Came into LCE's Exeter store regarding fixing my broken camera. They diagnosed the issue to be the board inside related to interfacing with the battery. Since the fix would cost more than an entire replacement we looked at their stock to find that Newcastle had one for a great price. Picked up a used replacement body and lens and am very happy!
Bought a lens
Bought a lens. The wrong one. I wanted MFT, ordered OM by mistake. Refund given.
Top notch service.
A quick and efficient service
A quick and efficient service. The camera was as good if not better than described. It was also priced lower than their rivals.
Superb experience
Superb experience. Johnny and the team were knowledgeable, flexible, non-pressuring and helpful. So much easier than endlessly scouring the Web for non-fake reviews and clear comparisons. Thank you!

We bought a second hand camera that is almost new condition and it was delivered really quickly. Overall, very happy and would definitely buy from them again
Excellent service
I spoke to a knowledgeable and helpful person in the Nottingham branch who suggested it would be faster and cheaper to replace my camera body than to send it for repair. He checked stock and told me the Newcastle branch had a second hand one available . I went online and ordered it and it arrived next day, free delivery.
I’ve now got a working camera to take on holiday! Couldn’t be happier.

A fast response when contacted by filling in the online enquiry form. Friendly and knowledgable staff, that were very helpful. Fast shipment of my secondhand purchase that came with a couple of bonus items I was not expecting. Recommended by my father that has used LCE for many years whilst working as a professional photographer and studio owner. I would highly recommend LCE for a first class frinedly service.
