What if your CeX delivery is delayed?

CeX gives an estimated delivery window at checkout. Wait until this has passed before raising a concern - items shipping from distant stores take longer.

If you have a tracking number, check the carrier's website for the latest status. The parcel may be at a collection point or with a neighbour.

If the delivery window has passed and tracking shows no progress, contact CeX through their website. They can investigate with the carrier and arrange a replacement or refund.
