I live in the US and wanted a Great Plate

I live in the US and wanted a specialty plate for my old Fiat 500. I was able to design the plate on the Great Plates website and order it. Once the design was set I was able to add my payment details and address and the plate arrive about a week later. It looks great! They were communicative and through the process and I really am happy with the result. Thanks!

Excellent plates. Prompt delivery.

Very efficient, prompt delivery, and excellent quality plates (gel with border). I greatly appreciated the surprise free upgrade to special delivery just because I made a polite and friendly phone call enquiring about delivery date. Top company offering top service in the face of much competition. Highly recommended. Many thanks.

Fantastic communication from the company, shout out to Tim!
Fast dispatch and delivery, packaged well.
There's so many different websites to choose from it's hard to know where to go.
I really liked the options provided with this company. I ordered standard show plates which I was able to customise to my preference.
The plates will be going on an old T25 for any VW Shows we attend, if you see grogu the T25 it's us and we got them here!
Can't wait to give these plates as a Christmas present to my partner.

Great Plates & Service

Very pleased with the number plate and the overall service I have received. I had emailed a query once I placed the order and Luke was prompt and very informative in his response. Will happily purchase against with them next time I need a set of plates. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic service

Made enquiry by email which was followed up promptly and led to me phoning in with my order on a Friday late afternoon. The plates were despatched on the Monday and reached me well packed on the Wednesday, exactly what I wanted (lipped plates with custom message as a gift for a family member). Will happily place repeat business with them next time I need a set of plates

Reply from Great Plates

Hi Gary,
We appreciate your frustration in this case. We agree that you provided pictures of damaged plates on arrival. The state they were in was not acceptable, as we explained by phone and email.
To avoid any bending in our pressed metal plates, we include an ABS plastic sheet within the parcel, to offer structure to the parcel and protect the metal plates. Therefore the occurrence was highly unusual and therefore we required the outcome of the Royal Mail investigation to understand what caused the issue before we are able to offer a refund. We were happy to replace the plates in the interim in order to negate any further inconvenience, however you made it very clear that you weren't interested in that option and wanted an immediate refund or you would take action, nor were you happy to assist in us raising the issue with Royal Mail.
We apologise that your experience with us hasn't been as you had hoped, but unfortunately we cannot refund customers instantly when replacement orders are refused and the circumstances of the issue aren't yet clear.
We would have liked to explore further options as to how to address the issue but given the tone of the phone conversation that occurred, we felt we were past the point of being able to discuss further.

First class service

First class service. Ordered a motorbike plate which was to be a replica from an old and much loved bike we used to have. The plate had to look the same and the team at Great Show Plates went above and beyond making sure everything was right. Nothing was too much trouble. Plate arrived yesterday and it is perfect. Thank you so much for doing this. I will highly recommend you to any of my friends who needs special plates made up. Thank you xxx

Great website and Service

Great website, very easy to use and order.
Swift dispatch and if you have a delay like I did with Royal Mail I emailed GP...Tim came back to me within 30 minutes explaining the issue at the Royal mail end so great service all round.
Plates landed safely next day and came very well wrapped/packaged.
These plates are very best quality, fitted easy and look perfect. I will be ordering again soon for some more classic bikes and cars.
Keep up the great work Great Plates!
