A great service, I found a second hand Canon EF 2X III Extender, that I was told later had only just come in to the shop, and ordered it, albeit after 2pm so it wouldn't be next day delivery. The e... See more

Great Service
Great Service. I was after a part ex price for two lenses. Richie inspected the lenses and quoted me a good price while in store enabling me to make a decision there and then on my buying options. This makes it so much better than taking them into other companies stores who give you an initial quote but then have to send them too be inspected.
Excellent service.
Excellent service.
Came in with queries about camera use and was given really useful information and guidance by very helpful staff.
Also bought a second hand filter that was great value.
Would highly recommend.

Excellent communications with the store. The camera was so much better than I had expected. DPD excellent too.
Absolutely brilliant service
Absolutely brilliant service! Discussed what I wanted, what my budget was and what I wanted to use the camera for. Was given comprehensive advice and left with a new camera, advice on a lens, details of where to get my binoculars serviced and a recommendation for fantastic pizza! Couldn't have asked for more!¹⁵
Another fine delivery!
This was not my first time purchasing from LCE, but my first time buying from the Newcastle shop.
On this occasion, after a quick call to the shop, the gent on the phone was most helpful, I placed my order.
The items arrived the following day, well packed.
I would confidently recommend LCE.
Great service, rare these days
Friendly, helpful gentleman on the phone knew exactly what I needed and made the purchase smooth and trouble-free.
Friendly, helpful staff.
The staff at the Newcastle branch were really helpful, working out my needs as a beginner photographer. Although the camera they thought would suit me wasn't at the branch, they found one at the Derby branch, which arrived within 24 hours. A second visit and they provided all the accessories I needed and lots of useful tips to get me started as a newbie photographer.
Good customer service is a dying art but it's alive and kicking with London Camera Exchange.

Top class visit…
Recently went to the Newcastle branch for a Z9 and a couple of lenses. The guys there are absolutely superb. My partner (who has no interest in photography) said that being in there took her back to her days hanging around record shops.
Really knowledgeable (I mean REALLY) did me a brilliant deal that’s saved me a good few £100.
What’s better is that they’re employee owned so you know the money you’re spending is going to the right place, not off-shore.
Once again, thanks guys.
Prompt Service
I recently purchased a Compact Camera from LCE but when I received and tried it I Decided that is was not the Camera for Me I contacted LCE and they were happy for me to return it and they refunded me in full within three Days. So I would say that was excellent service. RKC.

Firstly visited LCE Plymouth for advice and information. Very helpful with what I needed and what to look for on the web site. Found exactly what I wanted and ordered from LCE Newcastle. One small item not included when order arrived, contacted the shop by phone and a very helpful young man sorted me out and replaced item with a better one. Overall great service from start to finish
