Great experience

Great experience. Easy to complete contact form to provide camera details. Received a reply same day with an estimate of what they would pay. They provided a paid postage label so it was easy to send my cameras to them. Received an email the next day confirming what their offer was, very happy to accept. After providing bank details, I received payment within 24 hours.
Friendly emails from them ,with clear instructions at every step. Great experience overall.

Good service

Every response from Camera Recycle was prompt and pleasant. Posting off the cameras was free of charge. The prices offered after receiving the cameras were well within the range of estimates given based on the photos I'd sent. There was still the option of having the cameras returned to me free of charge. I can't comment on the price paid as I don't know the actual value of the cameras I sent.

would recommend Camera Recycle

I emailed Camera Recycle with details of my old cameras I received a reply very quickly by Louis. He gave me a realistic valuation and I decided to sell my cameras. Once the cameras had been received, the money was transferred to my account the same day!
Would definitely recommend Camera Recycle

Highly recommend Camera Recycle

Highly recommend Camera Recycle. They were willing to pay me for 4 old cameras that other companies were not interested in. The process was simple and smooth with postage paid by them. Louis was very quick and efficient at responding and payment was immediate to my bank account.

Excellent

Excellent - straightforward and easy process. I was happy with the estimated prices and the final price offered. Louis was prompt and clear in his responses. The alternative for my cameras would have been landfill so this is a win-win.

Great customer service

From start to finish the whole experience was very positive. I would definitely recommend Camera Recycle for selling your old unwanted cameras. The price paid was within the estimated valuation and payment received within 24 hrs of accepting their offer. Louis was very helpful and emails were answered with efficiency.

I'm very happy to think they will be used again and extremely happy with my experience.

Very pleased with money for old camera

Very easy to sell my camera and accessories. Filled in form and attached photos. Got an email with an offer and then a free postage label/QR code. Packed up and sent at the post office. Another email confirming offer, which was the top of the estimate, which I could accept or have my camera sent back. Then sent my bank details and the money was in almost immediately. All done in less than a week.

Very quick and efficient.

The service provided was very quick and uncomplicated. My main aim was to have my old kit reused and not go to landfill, so the money was not of particular interest. Having said that, I feel that I received a good price for my stuff.
I did try another company before Camera Recycle Ltd. They were a joke. Unless I had other non camera stuff to put in the box, they didn't want to know.

I would definitely recommend Camera Recycle.

Excellent service

Excellent service. I would highly recommend Camera Recycle. From emailing the initial enquiry and photographs to having the money in my account was 6 days, and that includes a weekend! Louis was very helpful and good to deal with the same person from start to finish. Thank you!
