Very pleased

Very pleased! Ordered prolam a few weeks ago for a pergola. Hired a 3m trailer and picked up today from Owens. Very well packaged. Was a bit anxious given the 6m lenght but worked out perfectly. Thanks DIY Direct!

They sell faulty goods, AVOID!

I purchased 7 of the same window films with the intention of fitting them throughout my house. However, after installing the first I decided to wait a few days to see if it had the desired effect and unfortunately the film separated from the window. I decided to give the benefit of doubt and remove and refit a new film whilst doing another 2 of the windows in my house. After a few days passed the films began to seperate on every single window the film was fitted on. I followed the instructions exactly.

The customer service have made absolutely no effort to resolve the matter and instead just reject my return request. Don't even bother using them, faulty products and dire customer service. AVOID!

As we explained to you by email, your request to return the items came a considerable period of time outside of our generous 30 day returns period.
As we also explained, it is imperative that the installation instructions included with the product are followed exactly and from the picture you provided, it is evident this was not the case.
We pride ourselves on exceptional service, as can be seen from other reviews, but there are occasions when even we have to draw a line.

This company are absolute charlatans

This review was made in error because of another company using exact same name. Sincere apologies for the mistake. I tried immediately to remove the review, but was unsuccessful. I am so sorry. That is most unfair to you, and should not have happened. I should also add, that your response to the unjustified criticism was the epitomy of professional and gentlemanly conduct, and is a credit to your company. Once again, sincere apologies. I will take absolute care in the future when writing reviews. Thank-you.

We appreciate you revising your review, thank you, although we would also be very grateful if you could please update the star rating and the title if possible.

Poor products impossible returns…

Poor products impossible returns process the customer service basically make things up. Will not ever use again. Screw fix or trade station as cheap and take anything back.
N
More misinformation from a company you should avoid.
They just make stuff up. Avoid at all cost. Just my view.

We have searched our records for an order or correspondence from you but we have found nothing, so it seems you have mistaken us for another retailer with a similar name.

Our returns process is very simple and we offer a very generous 30 day returns period, so if you were to shop with us you would find the experience more enjoyable than the one you describe.

In the meantime, we would be grateful if you would please remove your unfair review as it relates to another, completely unrelated retailer.

Product sent out quickly.

Product sent out quickly, very efficient.
I ordered 10 stainless steel mending plates 60mm x 38mm, punched out of stainless steel plate, with 4 fixing holes and a protective film. Ideal for what I wanted them for. However, the 4th side is somewhat rough and the corners on that side are not perfectly curved so I’ve needed to use a file to finish them off. If you are going to use them where they’re going to be seen and they have to look the part then take it that you are going to have to do some filing to get them to the standard that is required !!

Thank you for your review, we are pleased you are happy with the product. However, the delivery charge is applied to all orders of less than £45, it is not a payment for next day delivery.
