I'd be interested to know that too (although the lens Im thinking about currently is actually cheaper on Clifton Cameras than even Amazon! Must be a first)

Can you explain what this used condition on your website refers to please, Item Condition : MO

I was looking at a used Drone when I looked the description "MO"it is showing as "Video Camera appears as new, the camcorder is free of cosmetic marks and scratches." That description doesn't seem to fit the item and itsnot very clear to me?
 
The MO means Mail Order Returns.

The item has been purchased and returned as unwanted. The item will have been opened and may show light signs of use. The item may also be missing a component or accessories, but this will be noted in the items description. The original packaging may also be missing or damaged.

Thank you for stopping by our new Edinburgh store and for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you liked the look of the store, though we understand your concerns about the size and the pull door. We’re always striving to create a welcoming and safe environment, so your comments are really helpful. Moving closer to the city center was a tough decision, and we recognise it’s a change from the Jane Street location that many of our customers were used to.
I’m very much appreciating the new location - I don’t drive, so the only way I could get to the old location was by cab.

And all the more grateful as I stopped by yesterday afternoon for a massive advice session about Canon mirrorlesses, intending to go to John Lewis to play with some bodies - and they’ve replaced most of their camera displays with empty spaces and monitors. Hmph.
 
Don't like the new system of assessing the condition of used equipment. Gone from being very specific descriptions to more general observations, such as
'This Lens is in mint condition and will show only 1 or 2 very light marks such as very light wear to the lens mount or a small mark on the barrel,' and
'This Camera will show very light use and will exhibit only a few light marks such as light wear and shining to the lens mount, screen and base'.

Hello,

We've recently updated our used product pages to improve clarity and efficiency. To address frequent customer enquiries, we've added sections detailing included and missing accessories. Additionally, we've standardised product descriptions to streamline the trade-in process for our retail staff. While maintaining a consistent format, we still allow for specific notes, like scratches or defects, to be added to individual product listings. This is a great example, https://www.wexphotovideo.com/canon-ef-70-200mm-f4-l-usm-lens-used-3198798/
 
Still doesn't make sense to me I'm afraid. Ignoring that one 'great example', a buyer won't really know the condition of an item until it is received. Others may disagree. The system will, of course, 'streamline the system for retail staff'.

Thanks for the feedback. This is always welcome and will be passed on to the appropriate person.
 
After a little hiccup with Wex P/X team having received my goods today then sent a notification I had 7 days left to confirm quote

Now Wex having confirmed receipt and will inspect within 3 to 5 days which is fair enough. Also they have put on hold a Panasonic G9ii for me and want full payment within 5 days which actually is no problem.
However I would like confirmation first of the P/x offer before I go ahead with the purchase. This is because Wex will be hold onto the amount offered with myself adding the difference

To me it appears a lack of communication between depts, one saying will inspect in 3-5 days and the other only holding goods for 5 days. Maybe this holding of goods should be extended to something like 7+ days. But what would I know only having owned and built up highly successful business in a different line of work


I only have 5 days to order a panasonic G9ii that is on hold for 5 days. but an email received Ref CSH********* saying it is not currently in stock so how can it be held in stock.
Again very confused

Wanted to make a couple of purchases today and could have used WEX or LCE, which are local to me here in Bristol or Amazon for next day delivery.
I chose WEX for its support of TP and had a good experience. One item available in store and the other upgraded to next day delivery, which was appreciated.
 
Update
after several emails and phone calls at last a Panasonic G9ii is on its way to me:). And the best part of it is it has cost me nothing, the P/x of my Nikon gear and camcorder has paid for it with still money left over. so when things cool down a bit The G9 will go and a pana camcorder will replace it ???? .:thinking: as I do love having a camcorder as well.
Getting photographic equipment that is lighter to carry has been a hard choice, after all having carefully looked after it for so many yearsl like loosing part of ones life

@MatWex Right, this is doing my head in and Im thinking of giving up to be honest at this point.

Im thinking about getting some Kase filters and you have a black friday deal on and ye, carmarthen cameras and park cameras are all cheaper than kase directly.

BUT, all your websites mix up the words "revolution" with "wolverine" filters either in your description or the titles. Specifically I am looking at the pro kit here on your site

I want the revolution ones only as they are slightly thinner, not wolverine which as slightly thicker and a greater risk of vignette in certain situations.

Can you tell me exacly what's in the box?
