Good website and easy to use. Easy to do business with. Due to my delaying in placing an order I seemingly missed out on an offer supported by a manufacturer. When I explained the circumstances to Wex they honoured the previous offer and saved me a significant amount.

I wanted to buy a telescope for my son's birthday. I looked on Wex and we decided which one best suited our needs. I was happy with the price and the bonus was that an accessory kit was included in the package for free. It was delivered safely and quickly. I always get good products and service from Wex.

I wanted a delivery on a specific day, and only that day. Wex assured me they could do this, and they did. Excellent.

The customer service team at WEX were so helpful when we had some recent difficulties with some equipment we ordered. So easy to deal with, every transaction with them is hassle-free and delivery is always so quick.

I like using Wex Photography. They are competitively priced, have an excellent website and are very helpful if you need to know anything. I recommend Wex as a reliable company you will like trading with. Roger

Good price and great range of products, just a little let down by their courier being a day late despite an SMS to the contrary.

£1300 for a camera but battery costs extra When you spend over £1300 on an "almost new" camera in original box, neck strap, cd, charger I would have expected it to include a battery. Even if the original was not available then a 3rd party battery can be obtained for a lot less than a tenner at trade price. Still amazes me that a large company seemingly does cost cutting like this rather than take the decent approach "lets throw a battery in so the customer can hit the ground running as soon as his/her new camera arrives". Didn't include the USB-3 lead either but that is of lesser importance. When I phoned them to ask they said they would sell me a 3rd party battery for a fiver less than list price - still an extra £37+postage. I guess it is back to MPB for me in the future.

I have shopped at Wex photographic for years spending £1,000’s. Like most of my purchasers I rely heavily on people’s reviews. However I have recently written two reviews, after noticing the first review wasn’t printed, after purchasing a very expensive canon 600 mkII lens and being very disappointed with it. I can only assume my review hasn’t been printed due to the negative feedback and them potentially loosing further order which is very disappointing as there could have been other negative reviews that have also not been printed which would have swayed me from purchasing it in the first place

Placed an order for an item that wasn't in stock at the time but showing a 7 day lead time, one month later and the only communication is to cancel my order.

Visited Wex Bham earlier and I feel was made very uncomfortable by one of their staff, I was apparently 'behind the till' - the clear implication from his tone that I was up to no good. This despite the till being behind me, several feet away with two rather bored looking staff between me and the till. I was within a area that I (and I have seen others in the past) stand in to view a number of lower cost items before selecting and making a purchase. If its restricted, access should NOT be possible ! There are no barriers in place. My hands were in my pockets, I have tight pullover with normal trousers, I hadn't got a heavy coat on nor an open bag, (no place to hide anything shoplifted) I wasn't touching anything on display, I acknowledged him and said I was just looking, after which I was 'challenged'. I've shopped as Wex many times, several of the staff 'know me'. Ashamed that this now passes for customer service. Spent over £2K with Wex, LCE and MPB during the last 12 months. After this WEX has seen the last of me, that's £130 + of Fuji printer I had expected to purchase for a start. VERY POOR WEX.

Very sad after spending over £5000 pounds and having to argue about the incorrect battery 126 supplied with my second hand XT3 for £841 pounds and told I can buy one for about £60. 126s I was told battery was supplied. However I gave the camera back for a full refund and purchased new from Jessops with correct battery. The fact and upsetting was I was made to be a fool arguing about the correct battery. I will never deal with Wex again they have lost my trade and confidence if things go wrong . I was offered a second hand battery after but no time on reciept and no idea when available. . Shame but good store in leeds but bad customer service beyond belief.

When purchasing by internet be prepared to receive an email which looks like a 'phishing' attempt. You are asked to send a copy of very sensitive material such as your driving license (one of the most prized items for identity fraud.) The email gives no indication of any policy about the handling of this material should you be blase enough to surrender it. For example how do they store it, who has access to it, is it destroyed after a period of time. In short not an atom of reference to Data protection legislation. If you believe that shopping for a camera should be more difficult than buying a house then this company should be considered as your first and only stop. If you believe that being porous with your personal details is for you then expect this procedure to also delay the delivery of your purchase
