Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers are pleased with the quality of the products, describing them as excellent, well-made, and good value. Reviewers also appreciate the ease of the ordering process and the promptness of delivery in many cases, with some receiving their items earlier than expected. The clear presentation of the final product and the variety of options available are also frequently highlighted as positive aspects. However, some people were dissatisfied with aspects of the delivery service, particularly when paying for express or next-day delivery, which occasionally did not meet expectations. There were also instances where customers received products with quality issues, such as misshapen plates or unevenly installed numbers, and some reported missing fixing kits. A few other people also felt that communication regarding delivery and order status could be improved.

Best customer service ever! Lost plates / Delivery issue, sorted in minutes. Replacements turned up 24 hours later. Excellent, friendly service. The plates are amazing!

Avoid, expensive plates not fit for purpose.

Avoid, expensive plates not fit for purpose. Please save your money! I purchased 13IN X 4.4IN plates to be legal and MOT passable, cost almost £50. On delivery the plates had scratched surfaces as they were unsecured in the package, I noticed the characters were the incorrect height at 74mm (79mm legal) and slightly off thickness. On contacting the company, they sent an alternative size plate (16IN X 4.5IN). Again, these too arrived scratched, on drilling fixing holes (using old plate as template, using a pilot hole and not etc.) the front of the plate had delaminated slightly. Especially noticeable when drill hole is next to or through the character. On contacting the company, they stated “you are not allowed to drill through characters or digits or any printed part of the plates by Law”. This of course is nonsense, as providing you don’t add screws or bolts to change the look of a letter it is fine. Utter waste of cash and I’ve had to re-buy legal plates for half the cost again.

It is not legal to drill through a digit or character to obscure the digit or character with a screw or screw cap.

Don’t waste your money on next day…

Don’t waste your money on next day delivery

I ordered plates from this company on Friday at 16:25 as their website promised next day delivery if ordered before 5pm. So I paid the extra £9.99 to use this service expecting the plates to be with me by Monday due to the weekend.

Monday arrives but no plates had been delivered so I had now missed the deadline for a car show I was attending that evening.

After emailing I was the advised that plates must be ordered before 2pm and not the 5pm advertised on the website.

Waste of money and no apology or offer of postage refund for their error!

Hello, It clearly says Next working day orders are to be placed before 2pm on the basket stage when choosing your postal service, There is simply no way of getting next working day orders to arrive next day when ordered at 16.25pm on a Friday evening? We use royal mail next working day service and these are collected from us at just after 2pm, We have emailed you with the screenshot of the basket stage where it says 2pm, We are sorry you feel this way and we will strive to do everything possible to make this more clearer in the future.

Van show plate.

I went on the web site and sorted, very easily, the show plate for my van at teatime on Thursday. It arrived through my letter box on the Saturday morning packaged in a very sturdy cardboard envelope.
I’m delighted with it.
I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase the new 4 D plates for the van when I’m ready.
Many thanks for your quick, efficient service.

These guys are excellent

These guys are excellent. I gave the wrong address and my number plates got returned to sender. When I emailed them and explained what had happened they got straight back to me(so fast). They resent to correct address and I got number plates the next morning. Brilliant service, really helpful and the keep you up to date. Would definitely recommend and will be letting anyone who wants a number plate know who to use. Thank you very much guys⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would avoid this company at all…

I would avoid this company at all costs, received my numbers plates which were of poor quality, numbers uneven and looks like a child has done them. Wrote to complain along with pictures, the response back was that “ it’s within tolerance” which is absolute rubbish. No apologies or offer to replace. Contacted the ombudsman and made a complaint and awaiting further action. A waste of £55!

** update**

After reading your reply, if you cannot see that the numbers are all wonky then that’s the issue clearly. The pictures sent clearly demonstrate this. I’ve kindly and respectfully asked for a replacement or refund, this was ignored, no apology or “let’s help fix this” mentality. I have registered a complaint with the ombudsman and will continue to pursue this. The product is of poor quality and under the consumer act 2015 I am entitled to a refund.

Also I find it baffling that you can reply straight away to a review that’s in the public domain yet fail to respond to personal emails.

Great product easy to order at a great price

I ordered new plates for travelling to France so needed a Union Jack and UK in the banner. They were very easy to order, competitively priced and arrived by Royal Mail within a couple of days. The plates are plastic, not metal but that is fine. I would definitely use this company again and recommend them.
