Good service, but suspect old stock.
This was to add to those we already have. Delivery was quick. When we installed, we found the default was 2016, which is the same as we had about six years ago. So I assume this is old stock. Presume we will have to replace the `5 year' battery quite soon.

CEF puts it right
The order placed by me had an error. As soon as I noticed this I contacted CEF and the error in numbers and cost was corrected and I was emailed to tell me this was done. The ordered item duly arrived on time.
I was impressed with the service, and will use CEF in future.
