Cex Warning

This is a word of warning to anyone thinking of using the sell to CEX service at www.cex.co.uk.
I took the advice from this website to send off my old mobile phones in return for cash.
The first one i sent off to www.mazooma.com and had absolutley no trouble at all, the cheque arrived within a week.
However with the second phone i was offfered a better price on the CEX website.
This was on the 23rd of Jan and i am still waiting.
I have phoned up nearly every week since sending it and just keep getting fobbed off.
Today i tried calling and gave up after 25 mins of being on hold.
Their customer service is a joke!!!!!!

I would be interested to hear if anyone else has had problems like this???

    Yes I have experienced similar !!!!ing problems. I sent off 8 Xbox 360 games to them on the 4th April, by Recorded Delivery. They arrived and were signed for on the 5th April.

    I phoned them on the 8th April and they said no, hey haven't received them. I gave them the Recorded Delivery tracking number and emailed them the proof-of-delivery image that was signed by CEX and a signature.

    They have not responded.

    Also, their phone number now simply rings and then goes to "The other person has cleared". The !!!!ing !!!!!!s. I am really annoyed. I reckon they are probably about to go out of business.
