From website - "There is a delivery charge of £1.95 per individual item valued up to £100. Any individual items purchased over the value of £100 will not incur a delivery charge."
This used to be £1.50 delivery charge for individual items under £50 and no delivery charge for individual items £50+

sorted byRemember the price of Royal Mail postage went up yesterday as well.
I forgot about the £50 thing. That is quite a jump.
But again, not sure about the Royal Mail price increase having that big a difference on individual items. It costs us a significant amount more. But surely they have bulk mail contracts. Even before the increase, £1.50 per item was too much. But having said that, it would depend on the item because it is admittedly a flat rate so somethingsare fairly cheap and easy to send (DVD form factor), some stuff not so much (a controller or phone).
Still a bit bab though because they do have some good stuff on their website that is otherwise hard or expensive to find (edited)
I doubt a lack of stock will be an issue, it's more likely more people will sell as they need money during this crisis. (edited)
Stores are unfortunately still open. Post Offices are classed as essential, if you are desperate for money I would class that as essential. Not that they know what you are posting anyway.
I will try my best to avoid going out but if I'm food shopping and Post Office is on the way home then it's not going to make much of a difference going to one if you keep distance.
I remember the good old days of £2.50 an order. That was that was the opposite dilemma wasn't it?!
They probably have a "skeleton" staff I reckon. But maybe they'll wind right down soon. I wonder how many people trade in online as opposed to go into store. If it's not that many, they me even start to run out of stock soon. (edited)
True. By unfortunately do you mean CeX stores are still open? That's not the case according to CeX Twitter support, the replies I've seen them send suggest otherwise. Online orders only
Oh you are right, I checked yesterday after the announcement and saw nothing so presumed it was still open. (edited)
They only shut stores when the lockdown happened as far as I know. One of my local stores (I'm guessing both of my local stores but I only went to one before lockdown) went to Sunday opening hours until further notice before lockdown (edited)
I went on Friday and stores were operating on normal hours still. CeX are a franchise so I guess it depended on store. (edited)
Yep. I honestly just can't wait for the lockdown to be over and places to open again but only when it's safe to do so. Who knows when that will be though, safety is the utmost important thing in this situation. (edited)
Agreed.
That explains the 45p p&p increase but the free delivery on items £100+ instead of £50+ is a bit of a jump!
Used to be £2.50 default no matter what a while ago. Order one, two, three items etc, still pay £2.50 for example. Was okay for large orders, should've been free for a certain spend total but single item orders was definitely expensive. I wonder if all CeX staff still have to go to work now during lockdown because the online orders are sourced from their stores and online orders are still being processed
Visiting the post office to post something you're selling is allowed? Definitely not a non-essential activity?
They sell apple plugs for that much !
Even when you sell you get returns label from Royal Mail so looks like cex been playing the gameb
I'm guessing their online sales will increase anyway so they thought they would scrape a bit more cash out of us.
Think of all those people with CEX credit who can't use it in store, stuck at home will also mean more time to play games/watch dvds etc,
Still being sold just use the filter of price low to high
