    The entrance isn't wheelchair friendly. Also i would suggest that they had two different ques. One for selling and one for buying.As i was in the que for along time behind people getting all their details took. So i left not buying and going elsewhere.

    CEX is a popular destination for tech enthusiasts and movie buffs alike. The store offers a wide range of electronics, including gaming consoles, smartphones, laptops and cameras. Additionally, customers can find an extensive selection of DVDs, Blu-rays and TV show box sets. One of the most notable aspects of CEX is the competitive pricing on its products. The store's prices are often lower than those found at other retailers, making it an attractive option for those looking to save money on electronics and entertainment. Another positive feature of CEX is the knowledgeable and helpful staff. The employees are well-versed in the products sold in the store and can provide excellent advice and recommendations. They are also willing to answer questions and provide assistance to customers who need it. One area where the store could improve is in its organization. With so many products available, it can be challenging to navigate the store and find what you are looking for. Additionally, the store's layout can be cluttered at times, which can make it difficult to browse through the products. Overall, CEX is an excellent option for those looking for affordable electronics and entertainment. Its competitive pricing, knowledgeable staff and extensive selection make it a top choice for customers in the Liverpool area. Despite some minor organizational issues, the store offers a great shopping experience that is worth checking out.

    I brought an Xbox in to sell. They told me they couldn't buy it because there was "wood in the fan", and to OPEN THE XBOX to get the wood out. I opened the Xbox, dusted off the insides and took a tiny wood chip out, closed the Xbox up and brought it back to sell. They then told me they wouldn't buy it because it had been opened. Which they explicitly told me to do. I mentioned this to the same member of staff I spoke to both times, who said I needed to leave due to "becoming violent" - I was not violent nor did I raise my voice, I asked to speak to the member of staff's manager. Will not be going here ever again.

    Store looked nice outside and in, but I went there for two items. Both had a broken case, and one of them was put in a 4K case (should have been in a collectors Arrow case) with a fake reprinted cover, and they had the cheek on ask £10 for it, when it is £15 elsewhere when the official case, cover, and not broken. Wasted journey, and it cost me for parking up as well. Disappointed.

    The shop has a great selection of games, films, consoles and other electronics. The manager on site was extremely polite, friendly and helpful. He was very knowledgeable and able to answer my queries.

  • 3/5 Mike F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shop if looking for electronics and tech items. Prices can be a bit unusual at times - Second hand items they sell in their stores are nearly the same price, if you were to buy the item brand-new. This particular store looked a bit drab and could do with a revamp.

  • 1/5 Alan S. 9 months ago on Google
    Unpleasant staff. Virtually 'as new' prices on new goods

  • 1/5 Anthony L. 9 months ago on Google
    Won’t let you try before you buy, so how you meant to know if you prefer Sony or Nintendo, pot luck? Pathetic

  • 5/5 henry m. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent place for those now hard to find PS2 and wii titles as well as having a wide selection of DVD / Blu-ray titles at bargain prices.

  • 4/5 sam m. 9 months ago on Google
    Good choice available with plenty of stuff for sale.

  • 3/5 Elliott Elmo F. 6 months ago on Google
    Over priced second hand games and the staff looks like they don't want to be there

  • 5/5 Steve W. 6 months ago on Google
    I used to think it was a shop that ran on cheap energy drinks, low testosterone, 4chan and the frustration of ripped off people off. Where else can you buy 28 year old computer games for 15x their original market price? Or sell your mint console 1 week after release for 1000th of its worth? But having seen the joy, the kids get out of buying games for the older PlayStations and Xbox's with their pocket money. It hits you right in the feels even though the whole place and the business model feels "sticky" like Blackpool - but without the fun.

    Over the years I have spent hours here. Most of them were spent standing in the queue, but the rest of them hours were spent hunting for DVDs to rebuild my collection with.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 6 months ago on Google
    Ormskirk branch, a small shop, but decent retro collection, lovely, knowledgeable staff.

  • 4/5 Muhammad Umer Z. 5 months ago on Google
    If you sell DVDs, they will buy it for a penny literally. Better to give it to charity shop. Otherwise you can get secondhand mobiles, videogames, gaming console or even laptop here. Mobile/TV accessories also sold here.

    Sold me an earbuds that only one works, it also doesn’t charge properly. And I was told I couldn’t test them until after paying. After paying and found out one of the ear buds wasn’t working right in the store I was told I couldn’t swap and the only way I was to get a refund was through a voucher. Being that I only needed the earbuds for my trip as I was transiting through Liverpool it was pointless getting a voucher, and I told the attendant but no help was rendered. I almost missed my bus, and I had to run to the bus station cos of how slow their service was, spent almost 45mins in store just to get a trash earbuds that is faulty! I’m so appalled!!!

    Purchased a mobile phone December 2023.Sale assistant told me I could not hold the phone myself to check it out. He then gave me demonstration.I purchased the phone. Too big to go in my pocket, too slippy to handle without a case.Refunded my purchase to a gift card. They never give cash refunds at Cex only gift card refunds.I will be more careful next time.

  • 5/5 Bryan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff are friendly and would happily answer the questions we had about products and when they didn't have the answer with them right away would look it up for us.

  • 4/5 dave e. 2 years ago on Google
    Picked up a nice Canon fit wide angle, As there are not many camra shoe around anymore, jessops, has, gone (again) and buying online you can't really tell what condition it s in till it arrives, So you can pic up a good deal,

    Really disappointed and frustrated at the continued unresolved issue I have had with this store since before Christmas. I traded in a phone on the 22nd December after booking in via my CEX account. I was due to recieve the funds next day, I still have not recieved my funds over 3 weeks later. I raised the request in the site for support and was told I was paid. After sending bank statements and essentialy investigating the problem for you, you finally confirmed you made the payment to an old CEX account connected to a closed bank account. You confirmed this on 7th January, I was informed I would recieve my payment to the correct banking details and I still have not recieved this. One response every couple of days from the support is not good enough. Please can someone contact me and make the payment I am due? UPDATE* Now 3 days later and still no payment (17/01/2022). I traded the device in on 22nd December, so we are now approaching 1 month delay on this payment. Please can you update me?

    I bought a Nintendo Switch, a few games, and some accessories that totaled about three hundred and fifty pounds on Lord St.. I bought a game called Rayman Legends for 16 pounds. I am from the states and a new customer. On the bottom of the game package in small lettering it says download code only. I didn't see that. I brought back the game expecting to get store credit for a different game in the store. They would not give me credit though I had the receipt. That is not how business is done. Cex, sort it out. I will not be a return customer.

  • 5/5 Amber B. 2 years ago on Google
    Had to return an item that was sent incorrectly from an online order in this branch and the customer service was great. Lovely staff in general but Lily in particular was super helpful, thanks for the help!! I was also pleasantly surprised to see a couple of GBA games available in store (a rare sight these days), made my trip extra worth it

  • 5/5 Nick V. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff are always friendly and helpful, it's fun to look at the games while hearing them having detailed geek conversations about new movies or games coming out. They definitely know their stuff. Plus the last time I went I was able to ogle a super hot tgirl that worked there.

  • 5/5 Larry D. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff very friendly and even offered solutions as they didn't have there product

  • 5/5 Ivory D. 2 years ago on Google
    Took a few games In to trade, nice and friendly staff

  • 5/5 Barry C. 1 year ago on Google
    I like this shop because it offers more than your average CeX store. The basement (yes, they have a downstairs!) is not just Dvd & Blu Ray but music cd's too. Please don't give up on all these formats because of live streaming! Upstairs for all game formats and electronic gizmos. If you trade, take a store credit over cash as you'll get more. That said, cash is important so the option is there.

  • 4/5 Alan S. 1 year ago on Google
    A great selection of tech, with the exception of camera gear

  • 4/5 Daniel E. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Teo Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Big variety of games! With very good prices! The staff is very kind and friendly!!!

  • 4/5 Dave B. 1 year ago on Google
    Seems very reasonably priced. Varied items for sale

  • 3/5 Chelsea Lad 9. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent choice of items, staff are OK, just what you'd expect really

  • 5/5 Sarah A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to pick up consoles, accessories, games etc for a more reasonable price than brand new which are generally extortionate. Always excellent condition and never had an issue with anything I've bought. Great staff too who are happy gice time to go through options etc. Will always go back 👍

  • 1/5 slimjim877 1 year ago on Google
    I've bought a few games from here lately and they've all been missing a disk, or had the wrong disk in. Plus they purposely hand over the wrong disk with the box when it comes to things like game of the year editions, or classics that include dlc on the disk. And I'm quoting here on why they do that "it's good enough for us". Never mind it's never said or written anywhere.

    The staff are fast and the prices are reasonable..
