While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

City Electrical Factors stock the right materials
City Electrical Factors stock the right materials and their branch staff work very hard to satisfy their customers' needs.
CEF definitely work hard to have a wide range of suitable parts on their shelves, so that you will leave their branch adequately prepared to do the job you are going-to.
The branch network has systems in place to source anything that is out-of-stock and get it to you ASAP.
You might get better discounted prices elsewhere; but, you will not get better service, a greater range of products off-the-shelf, or branch staff that will respond more readily to find the product that no other electrical supplier is prepared-to-believe actually exists.
