Buy It Direct Reviews 

DELIVERY DRIVER ARRIVED EARLY, PUT IN GARAGE FOR ME. HAVEN'T USED IT YET SO CANNOT GIVE REVIEW ON THE ACTUAL MICROWAVE AT THE MOMENT.

I have already filled one review of this item but to continue, the drivers were excellent and helpful and very speedy in removing the old fridge freezer. Then quickly unwrapped the new one and installed it. I’m very happy with it as it fits in nicely with the blue cabinets. I also love its retro design and so far it is working perfectly. It’s a perfect size too as I am on my own now. Overall I’m really pleased

Sales person was so helpfull and knowledgable about the product i was after and was a massive help the transaction was quick and easy and postage was fast

Stay away!

Our Dryer died on Thursday last week. I paid Extra to have it delivered on the Sat. Time was between 1300 and 1700. The next day ( Friday ) I received a text message stating all is fine and confirming the details. I would expect a further message tomorrow to confirm they are on the way. GREAT so I thought... Sat came. 0800 I received a message saying they have warehouse issues. LOL and will not be able to deliver. I called Appliances Direct. Who ironically use the same system this company does????? I paid more!!!!! I was told it would be delivered on Monday. NOPE ... Here we are on Wednesday and it has JUST been delivered. I have not had a chance to look at it at all. They delivery driver signed his pad ( something I am supposed to do or it VOIDS my terms and conditions) and the two of them buggered off. Seriously Avoid. They are under 2 names... they other account has 1.3 stars...

MORE I was told to package it to the best I can... as it didnt come in a box... just a bubble wrap so I did the same.. but its not being collected till Monday and is sitting outside!!!!! Note these points off their website.. And I was told it is ok to leave it outside.

good service and excellent item

Good communication and on time delivery. Delivery man helpful.

I purchased a dehumidifier and before committing to the purchase I asked a question and the response was very quick. This answer confirmed my choice, so I made a purchase. The appliance was here within two days! It is a great dehumidifier and was a great price too! I would use Appliances Direct again. Excellent service.

Deliver was on time driver very helpful and pleasant well happy with electric will recommend you to friends. 😀

To start we ordered the Hood in the afternoon and it was there next day , very good service. For the price it’s a nice little unit that looks good in our kitchen. It was easy to install except the 2 security screws are a little tricky.

Easy online purchase and delivered within 24 hrs .

I am very pleased with the decision to purchase from 'Buy it Direct'. They offered the best value amongst many suppliers . The item arrived in superfast time, with virtually next day service without the additional cost.

Extremely poor and unacceptable experience with Buy It Direct (Appliances Direct).

I purchased a Hisense 55” TV which developed a fault within a few months of normal use. The TV was collected for inspection in fully intact condition — no cracks, no impact damage — which I have clearly documented with photographs taken immediately before collection.

The television was then returned to me in a significantly worse condition, with a severely cracked screen that was NOT present before it left my possession.

Despite clear before-and-after photographic evidence, Buy It Direct has refused to provide any repair, replacement, or refund. Instead, they have given inconsistent and contradictory explanations, alternately blaming “user damage” and “transit damage”, while attempting to redirect responsibility to the manufacturer.

No proper inspection report or credible evidence has been provided to support their claims.

This raises serious concerns about how products are handled during their service and logistics process, as well as their willingness to comply with their obligations under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

As a result, I have been forced to escalate this matter through my bank.

Based on this experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering purchasing from this retailer.

Update:

Despite now being provided with my full order details, the company has still failed to provide any actual evidence to support their claim of “user damage.” Instead, they rely on generic statements with no proof, no documentation, and no accountability.
I clearly confirmed that the TV was in intact condition at the point of collection — no cracks, no impact damage. From that moment, the product was entirely outside of my control and handled solely within their service chain.
If damage occurred, it must have happened during handling, transport, or inspection — all of which are the responsibility of the company and their contractors.
It is extremely concerning that the company is attempting to shift responsibility onto the customer without any verifiable evidence, while also avoiding transparency regarding the handling process.
This matter is now being formally escalated, and this review will be updated accordingly.

Great service, fast delivery.

RMA Number: 79062895
The laptop I sold was received on 4 March and the payment amount was confirmed on 5 March. I then received an email saying “we’ve got some money for you” and I accepted the offer the same day. It is now 16 March and I have not received the payment yet.

I sold a phone with another company that same week and the whole process from them receiving the phone to making the payment took three days. Because of that I am not sure why Laptops Direct takes so long to make a bank transfer. The bank details I sent were correct but apparently there was some trouble making the transfer so I have been instructed to wait another 2-5 working days.

The testing process itself was quick, but the payment has taken much longer than expected.

Good selection of competitively priced ironmongery and other stuff.
Well packaged and rapid delivery.
Will definitely visit again.

Great product, sent very quickly. Many thanks
