Incompetent Morons
August 29, 2017

Do not go to this store. Awful customer service, incompetent staff who look like they dont give a crap. Had 3 online orders " disappear " and countless wrong and beyond scratched discs. They also offer appalling prices for buying off you sometimes making a 3000% profit.

Scammers
July 6, 2018

Please don't purchase items from this company, especially phones. They're faulty and getting a refund is impossible without paying for legal assistance. They ignore the law and their customer service doesn't exist.

Discriminates against disabled people, all that matters are their own stupid, non inclusive and down right discriminatory in-store policies...

Came up with all kinds of excuses not to honour the warranty and left a kid with needs heartbroken, absolutely disgraceful operation!

Best avoided

Profiteering from a 13-year old whose XBox developed a fault whilst under warranty is the most disgusting behaviour a company could show. They should feel absolutely ashamed of their immoral activities. One day karma will serve justice on CeX and their deceitful policies.

Avoid at all cost
September 15, 2017

Truly cannot understand how this business continues to function.
Called at a store in Leigh Lancashire today with the complete James Bond series in a metal presentation box set, all flawless DVD's watched once. Purchased for me as a gift for over £100.
I was completely stumped when the store offered me £4.
That equated to 20 pence per DVD.
I have since researched on line and the same product is selling on both Amazon and eBay for between £40 and £75.
Do yourselves a favour and sell your goods privately.

Stay away from CEX
April 6, 2018

Do not waste your time going into one of these shops, id give them no starts, complete crap, rude arrogant kids no one over the age of 25, Rip off merchants give you a pittance if they actually accept your items in the first place, then sell them for more then double what they gave you. They over price everything they sell, and then they will refuse to buy some things in store that in mint condition even though their website shows they buy and sell the item so false advertising. There Head office don't deal with complaints or seem interested, company is a complete joke do not shop or sell there, they should be closed down.

Disgusting
July 22, 2023

My son who has autism saved his pocket money to buy a PSP, he was excited to get his new console from CEX a store he loves going in. Sadly the console did not work properly the on screen keyboard did not register certain keys, I thought it would be a simple case of returning the item for a refund or replacement, but no, we had to wait an hour for an "inspection" after which it was concluded the item was fine, on returning home it was evident it wasn't fine and we had been robbed for a second time.

It is beyond me how this store gets away with the nonsense that it does, it sells second hand non-working tat for more than a brand new item, they refuse people their consumer rights, and rip off disabled children, they really are lower than low.

If you want broken rubbish that you can't return then by all means buy from cex, but my advice would be avoid at all cost.

Dropped off a phone for sale and after nearly 48 hours, they neither got in touch nor provided suitable updates for anything, without making the agreed payment. You're better off pawning your stuff on the street.

I'm sure the waiting game is so people die of old age before getting a reply.

I've been sen damaged goods and incomplete goods. I've returned them to the store instead of posting them back and lo and behold they appear for sale again both online and in store.

Customer service doesn't care, they will do everything they possibly can to make sure you keep hold of the rubbish you are sold so they can keep your money.

Just think the next time you buy something that doesn't work it may have already been returned several times.

The worst company out there, do yourself a favour, don't ever use them
