Wow has it changed... I remember when you sent them stuff and it was like sending it into a black hole and if you were lucky some indeterminate time later it all worked out.
Yesterday afternoon I bought (in a big rush after I realised the Spring cashback expired that day) a 16-35 f4 (only found one shop that did trade-ins with one in stock, plus got rained on a fair bit hurrying there) and applied at 7pm. They responded with a logon to a web-site to track the claim and at 6am (yes, really) this morning I got another e-mail saying I was accepted and the money would be along within 28 days. Much nicer!
BTW I was a little worried by the Box saying EAC rather than CE but LCE claim not to do grey and it all went okay. Interestingly it also said 20150228 on the box, which I guess could be the date of manufacture (and I haven't seen before).
(I traded in my 10-22 which I haven't used in the 5-odd years since I went FF and so decided even though I thought it was a great lens it wasn't doing anything anytime soon.)
