General Comments
I was looking for a compact digital camera. I knew what I wanted, and I wanted to purchase offline so I could try it out first.
I realised it would cost more, and I was allowing for around £50 more than online.
I phoned the London Camera Exchange in Gloucester, and they had the item. They then quoted over £100 more online. When I asked if they could match another high street shop (Jessops), the man was extremely rude to me, and said "the cameras will be gone by the weekend, so your loss", and hung up!
If this is how a small franchise tries to compete with large cheaper high street chains, no wonder LCE Gloucester's prices are high, as I would imagine they have very few happy customers!
