Return of online purchase

Ordered online what turned out to be the wrong item. I took it to CEF Stockport and they were very obliging to take it back as a return and my account was reimbursed within a few days.

Perfect online Ordering and delivery

Perfect online Ordering and delivery. But would like to say I went to the stockport branch before online ordering and was told that they have far less stock in store so they can either order it in for pickup next day or order online for delivery, they then took me to show me exactly what I needed to order as I had a sample and even gave me the reference and confirmed it was correct for me. I work in sales too and know that they really didn’t need to do this and would prefer people buy from the shop they work in.
So all in all kudos the the older and younger gentlemen for helping a guy who is note in a trade far above and beyond what they needed too. Lovely friendly atmosphere. So would recommend this place to anyone. Well done.

The service received from Tony at the Stockport branch was superb but I would expect nothing less from someone with his experience and age.

Excellent service

Excellent service, didn’t have all the stock I requested that day but by next morning it was there as advised.
I spoke to Scott who couldn’t have been any more helpful.

Well done!
