Hi David,

I can confirm that your initial payment was declined as it did not pass the required security checks.

When this happens, the item may temporarily remain reserved against the order, so it can sometimes take a few minutes before it becomes available again on our website.

I’m pleased to confirm that you have now successfully purchased the item, and your order is due to be dispatched tomorrow.

If you have any further questions or if there’s anything else I can assist you with, please feel free to contact me directly at steve@cgxuk.co.uk.

Kind regards

Steve

Fantastic

I hadn’t heard of this company before I found it on the Internet, so as I was browsing, I found something I wanted. The price was fantastic. The postage was free which I was very surprised at and the customer service was fantastic from the store that I didn’t buy from but messaged on Facebook and they helped me locate when it was gonna be delivered so all in all 11 stars out of 10

Customer service poor

Purchased airpods from CGX Accrington.. airpods was fake so had to return.. wasnt too bothered that they was fake as sometimes hard to tell.

Upon them getting delivered by royal mail i messaged on social media to check all was recieved to get a snotty message 'Yes they have been delivered your refund should take a few days' wheres the customer service? An appology would at least be fair.. really unsatisfied with the end result here when ive been nothing but fair an polite to store.. no email or anything to say any refund has been sent

Perfect

As a first time customer for CGX, I can certainly say I am impressed with the customer service and support that I have received so far when buying and selling through this company. Unfortunately I use to be a huge CEX fan but in more recent times I have been let down by them and CGX saved me from them! I am a very happy customer when using you guys. Perfect work.

I am not buying anything from Wigan CGX…

I am not buying anything from Wigan CGX Leigh , because they gave me a used TV, but in the advertisement on ebay said “New”. The tv screen had finger marks and the box has opened from bottom and re taped to appear as “New”. In side the box there were used tape pieces. Don’t do any deal with this store.

Meta quest 3s

I brought a meta quest 3s from them and it was as a great purchase, the Leigh customer service was very helpful and understanding. the price was extremely good as it is cheaper than most on other websites and market places and comes with a 6 month warranty( which I hope not to do).The meta quest 3s is brilliant I’m very happy with this purchase. I would definitely buy from cgx again.

A BIG THANK YOU ☺️

After my initial disappointment with receiving the wrong item, I would like to say a sincere thank you to the team for resolving the issue so quickly and professionally. They investigated the problem, rectified my order, and ensured that the correct product was delivered without any further issues.

I received Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for PS5, and I’m pleased to say that it arrived in perfect condition and works flawlessly. The customer service team kept their promise, communicated well throughout the process, and made sure everything was put right.

Mistakes can happen, but it’s how a company deals with them that really matters. I truly appreciate the excellent customer service, the prompt resolution, and the effort the team made to turn my experience around. As promised, I have updated my review to 5 stars.

Thank you once again to everyone involved. Your professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction have restored my confidence, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from you again in the future.

Good customer service

Fast delivery. PS3 was wrapped very well and very carefully which I appreciate. Didn’t get my tracking number after 2 days, emailed customer services and they got back really fast and sent it to me. Very good customer service. For a used ps3 it works very well and minor scratches (which expected with a used) only criticism I have, is maybe clean the devices before sending them out for delivery as it was really really dirty. But apart from that everyone else was perfect.
