We're sorry to hear you are unhappy with the service received. The doors are shipped from overseas on container vessels containing thousands of containers, restocking dates are only estimated and can unfortunately change due to factors outside of our control, such as weather conditions, port congestion, and customs clearance processes.

We try to keep all customers up to date with restocking dates, however, sometimes these delays only become apparent when customers call for an update and we speak to our shipping agents who then advise us of this.

We understand that this is a frustrating situation and acknowledge that our communication could have been better, we apologise again for the inconvenience this has caused.

Very pleased with the doors so far

Very pleased with the doors so far. They have yet to be unpacked and hung, but so far so good. My two bosses, my wife and home help also , so they must be good.
Very punctual delivery, excellent tracking website, and very helpful driver. Who could want for more?

Great Company

The ordering was simple, and despatch very quick. I ordered four doors of two different designs, two arrived within two days of ordering and the other two a couple of days later. There was a problem with one door, but that was the fault of the carrier, however Express quickly sorted it out for me, and the replacement arrived very quickly.
The doors are very high quality, well made, and as I have purchased from this company before I know that the doors and Express are truly reliable.
Express Doors Direct will always be the first company I will go to for any doors, and would not hesitate in recommending them to others.

Poor customer service (when you finally get through).

Three doors ordered with a long lead time, when ‘they’ eventually arrived there was just one door delivered of the three ordered. Two 15+mins calls later, the courier company was blamed for the error. Express Doors apologised for the inconvenience but couldn’t not have cared less about the fact that I will now have to pay an extra £150 for the chippy to come back for a second visit to fit the still undelivered missing doors, no gesture of goodwill at all, not even a 10% discount on future orders. Very disappointing experience. Luckily there are other suppliers of identical doors.

Absolutely appalling customer service I…

Absolutely appalling customer service I bought X2 external doors from Express Doors (online). Nowhere in the description does it say thay the glass for the panes will not be provided nor that you need the buy the glass separately. It was only when my carpenter came and very carefully opened one of the doors we discovered there was no glass. Now Express Doors are refusing to take the door(s) back all because the packaging has been opened - the door has not been touched. I am finding it extremely hard to return the doors plus the want to charge me £52 for collection off doors that are no use to me. Please do not use this website as the description is not what you receive.

We're sorry to hear you are unhappy with the doors received.

Both of the doors you have ordered are listed as unglazed in the technical specification on the website, this information is available to see prior to ordering.

As these doors are supplied by LPD we have to adhere to their terms and conditions and unfortunately they will not accept goods back that are out of their packaging and not in a resalable condition. The charge given is what we are charged directly by them.

We can only apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.

We're sorry to hear you are unhappy with the service received. We do state on all order confirmations that goods may come in more than one shipment depending on the suppliers.

You should have been contacted from the couriers to advise you of both delivery dates, however we do apologise if this wasn't the case, and for any inconvenience this caused.

DO NOT USE this company

DO NOT USE this company
I ordered an oak external door at £466 my carpenter fitted it. It is an external door but fitted in a porch. He used Osmo oil 3060 to finish the door after two weeks the door has multiple cracks in it, I contacted the company who said it was because of refinishing it with Osmo oil. At no point did the company send me any maintenance and refinishing information with my order.
They have refused a replacement or a refund.

We're sorry to hear you are unhappy with the service received.

We have supplied an external door in which you have finished the door with an internal door oil, the oil used is designed to be used specifically on internal doors, and as a result is not recommended for use on external timber or joinery products as they do not offer sufficient protection that external doors require. If you were unsure about the appropriate finish to use, our finishing guides are available to view online or you could have called the office for clarification.

Delivery damage

Door was left at front door by carrier with no inspection signature even although my wife and I were in all day.
The door packaging was dented and so was the door due to mishandling along the distribution chain. Complained through the company with photos as soon as delivered using company online system and as of yet on the 4th day no reply . Corner and edge protectors as used by other door companies would have prevented this. Otherwise the quality of the door was good.

Ordered a door from Express Doors…

Ordered a door from Express Doors Direct and unfortunately the experience after delivery has been extremely disappointing.

An incorrect door was delivered and, despite charging a fee for the exchange/replacement, the process has been painfully slow. Nearly two weeks later, I still have the wrong door sitting in my house and nobody has properly sorted the issue.

I have had to chase repeatedly by both phone and email over a number of days, often being told someone would call me back or update me “later that day”, only for nothing to happen.

At one stage I was even asked to provide evidence of calls I had already made, despite having already spent significant time on the phone trying to resolve the problem. The overall impression has been a complete lack of urgency or ownership.

Mistakes can happen with any company. What matters is how they deal with them. Unfortunately, in this case, customer service has been reactive, disorganised and far slower than you would reasonably expect — especially when customers are being charged additional fees to correct an error.

Very frustrating experience and not one I would repeat.

We're sorry to hear you are unhappy with the service received.

We acknowledge that there was a delay in arranging the replacement and that our communication throughout the process could have been better. We are currently experiencing a high volume of calls and emails, which has unfortunately resulted in longer response times than we would normally expect. Due to this, your request to add an additional door on to the swap over wasn't picked up until after the first swap. We recognise that this fell short of the level of service we aim to provide and understand your frustration.

We raised the additional swap over with the suppliers to be done as quickly as possible, however we sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused.
