I wanted a product that was discontinued .

I think this was very professional and helpful at a time when people either are unable to help or can't be bothered .

Adds simplicity and efficency to complex and difficult demands
Whether buying consumables or tools, i'm increasingly impressed by the range and ability to seek competitive prices by CEF (on tools)
Staff are knowledgeable and helpful. No question too small in my experience.
I operate cross-merchants so im always looking for value, service, stockholding and flexibility in my wholesalers.
CEF are getting there, but most importantly for me - they are at least moving and adapting to changing trading conditions unlike others who are increasing prices or not holding stock at all.

silverline ffp3 masks not pack of 25!
Purchased and paid for silverline ffp3 fold flat masks as advertised £24.99 for Pack of 25. the website advertising is very poor as it suggests this is a pack of 25 but I wasted my time ordering and going to collect as its only ONE mask. Seriously! even in the worst point of the pandemic £25 for one disposable mask would be madness but now they are back in supply I couldn't beleive this complete rip off. Change your misleading website CEF and stop wasting peoples time.

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.
