What are CEF like for prices?

Rampage · Oct 5, 2016

What are CEF like for prices, my work has an account for them, but the account is held at a different branch to the one we use. Just want to make sure we are not paying silly prices as they can't give us a price for parts unless they phone the branch we have the account with apparently.
Is it different prices for different people?

Theres a thread here Prices at CEF? - http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/threads/prices-at-cef.108907/
They deffo give different prices to different customers. that said if you move about a lot they have branches everywhere.
They do have online chat so if you know your account details they should be able to give you a price straight away.

Please please please contact them via the forum and check them out.

@CEF Paul may be able to help, but he's more management than shop floor. However, he's sorted a fair few heads out on the forum.

And if you check the Most Used Supplier thread, CEF are the most used.

Hey @Rampage - if you've got an online account you'll be able to instantly check your price there... that said, if you're after a price as part of a bigger project it's worth getting a quote from your local branch as there may be some room for maneuver.
