CEX Employee Claims Partially True in Fact Check

“When I was an employee I was fighting for my life against the allegations and bad reputation of cex - our little shop had 5 employees and 2 tills (and a healthy stock of air fresheners) and we were all so proud of how we tested, cleaned and organised everything so diligently and properly. Then id go into another branch on a trip or see a story on here and understand where the general feelings towards the company came from🥲”
Partially true
Confidence: High Checked on June 3, 2026

Summary

CEX does face a mixed reputation, with numerous customer complaints about product cleanliness and business practices documented on consumer review and complaint platforms. At the same time, the company promotes rigorous testing, cleaning standards, and a five‑year warranty, and many customers report positive experiences. Thus, the claim of a bad reputation is supported, while the employee’s description of diligent testing aligns with the company’s stated policies.

    I had previously purchased from CEX and wanted to purchase a Roku 4G+ Streaming stick and so this was the first place I came to. The item was as described i.e. 'B' Good - Product in good condition with all essential accessories. Not in original box. It works perfectly, came well packaged and I received it within 1 day (ordered early hours of Sunday morning and delivered Monday!!) It comes with peace of mind as all items are tested to ensure they are working as required and items come with a 5 year guarantee (excluding consumables (removable batteries, bulbs).
