AWFUL to deal with

AWFUL to deal with. Plates arrived quickly but were spaced incorrectly. Even after photo of V5C never had an apology. Got a refund and went somewhere else.

Car plates direct

Car plates direct. ( carplatesdirect.com)
Ordered plates first class.
Emailed to see if on way. They replied within a few hours. Advised no tracking on ordinary first class. Plates arrived after 2 days.
Plates as ordered.
All good. Got what I paid for in sensible time frame.
No issues with this company and would therefore based on my experience recommend.

This is not the correct profile

This is not the correct profile for carplatesdirect and I had needless worry after my order when I read these reviews ….here is my review that I have posted on the correct profile for this company. Ordered Friday and paid express delivery so had in mind Monday delivery. Read dreadful reviews on another carplatesdirect profile on here following my order and was worried. Contacted via email yesterday and got an instant reply with tracking info. Plates arrived today, so perhaps not as express as I had thought but can’t complain and the product is perfect. Customer Service response could not have been quicker

Far from same day dispatch

Despite advertising same day dispatch and paying for their priority delivery service, the plates were not dispatched on the Tuesday despite being ordered in the morning they were in fact collected 3 days later and then delivered 2 days later than that! Far from priority , little or no response from the supplier.

Wish I had checked on trustpilot before…

Wish I had checked on trustpilot before purchasing with this company as I paid an extra 9.99 to receive next day delivery and 4 days later still waiting for the plates.. contacted the support via email and they state that they do not offer next day delivery but all Google listings and even their own website landing page leads a buyer to believe thay are purchasing expensive plates but getting a fast quality next day service.Google ad was a sponsored listing and I tried to notify Google but probably won't respond

I just wish I’d read all the reviews…

I just wish I’d read all the reviews before ordering from this company! I am now 7 days down with no plates and after paying £9.99 express delivery! Google should not allow them to advertise! DO NOT BUY from this company!

I would give them 0

I would give them 0. Scammers, paid £9.99 for express delivery. No show after 3 days. Delivery message says with courier, and will be 72 hours taking it to 6 days. Contacted them they claim to not be car plates direct, and that its a generic google website. But they are replying from the e-mail given on the website. No checks done to see if I had entitlement to the plate. Do not give them your money.
