Fast delivery

Fast delivery item as new condition for an A grade which is good as some branches closer to me the items have been poor quality for what I’d expect the grade it’s put under.

Excellent service and super buys.

Very pleased with my Apple Watch Ultra 3.
Initially I bought a series one Ultra and realised I had made a mistake as the series 3 had far more features
which I really needed.
The staff at CEX Dunfermline could not have been more helpful.
Karen took back the series one and quickly sourced a series three which I collected the following day.
The watch was a considerable saving on new and was virtually mint.
I had problems activating mobile data but again the staff at CEX were superb.
I have now purchased two Apple Watches and two iPhones from CEX and I am very happy with all of them.
I highly recommend CEX

Frustrating experience. Won't bother again

The website doesn't seem to work well at payment point, when validating your card.
I received notification that the game was ready to collect on a Sunday, but by the Tuesday I had been informed I was too slow to collect it and it was being refunded. This was insufficient time to allow me to pick it up with work commitments, and was hugely frustrating since the game was a gift, which I them had to reorder and pay extra for the postage and packaging (which I was trying to avoid, since you have to pay per game)
If my brother hasn't requested specific games for his birthday I wouldn't have bothered using the site.

The 2 day rule for picking up a…

The 2 day rule for picking up a purchased item is absolutely ridiculous, especially as you aren't told that at time of purchase. I rushed from work to try and puck a click and collect up and even though it was paid for and done they wouldnt let me through the door even though they were letting someone out. I reorder to pick it up later, but suddenly it wasnt there and I get sent a copy from another store in a broken box... Not good enough. Northfield store lack any decent customer service every time I am in there. Half the time they don't bother to notice you are even there, and they assume you want any remaining trade-in value on a voucher by email rather than asking, and dont even check the email address! So much better at Solihull, just wish I lived closer to that store. There needs to be a decent CeX in Selly Oak. Maybe bring the store staff from Solihull, who are brilliant :)

Google Mini Nest

I ordered a mini Google nest for a relative, in good condition at a reasonable price. It took slightly longer to arrive than hoped but all good. Thank you.
