I recently bought a set of pressed steel silver and black plates from Great Plates and couldn’t be happier with the product and service. The plates arrived super quick, are superb quality and were very carefully packaged. The customer care and service is second to none and I won’t be buying my plates anywhere else in future. If you need anything specific or any advice they are worth contacting directly as they are extremely helpful.

We're so happy you got them quickly Sabin. All orders made before 3pm leave us on the same day but Royal Mail do sometimes have their moments and therefore it's great to know the system works efficiently

These guys and girls were so unbelievably good. I made the error - told them too late, not only did they correct my mistake for no extra charge but then supplied all plates the very next day.

Great communication and customer service, speedy response to all email's. I would recommend them.Shena was very helpful and professional with a few questions about my order. A good company to deal with.Update.. I received my number plate within 2 working days of ordering it, it is exactly as I ordered. The help and assistance from Shena was very good. A nice and responsive service which I will definitely use and refer to other buyers.

Thanks William. Unlike many of our competitors, we have a direct phone number and email address which are manned the full time during our working hours. We also make our own plates (many others use fulfilment companies) and therefore we are very knowledgeable on what is possible and can communicate clearly within the team and therefore onto our customers

Faultless service !!

Faultless service !!
I ordered my 'pressed plates' for my classic car Sunday evening. Prices were on a par with others, but no necessity to send them my original documentation etc.
Confirmation received very quickly, so no worrying about wether my order was received or not. I had a small query Monday morning, and again a reassuring response was received promptly.
My plates arrived Tuesday morning, and to say I was pleased is an understatement. The quality is superb and I was fortunate to receive an additional plate free of charge, because it failed to meet their quality control checks, great for me, one for the garage wall !!
Their website is easy to use, their prices are competitive, their communication is top notch and the product quality is second to none (I have used on-line plate supplier on several occasions) all in all, an absolutely faultless service, one that I would and will recommend and without hesitation, I will use again.
THANK YOU !!

Hi Tim
Many thanks for taking the time to leave such an extensive review. It's always nice to receive such praise from our customers.
We always look to include any plates that fail our quality checks within the order (as well as the final items as well obviously) in case they are of any use to our customers. We're glad that you will make good use of yours!
Thanks again

Can't complain about anything

Can't complain about anything. Ordered over the weekend, plates arrived today exactly as ordered. Edit: most importantly, they were half the price of that quoted by another company!

Good to hear this Alan. We have tried to keep our prices as low as possible even with the costs of everything going up in recent times. We do believe that we are the cheapest on the market for next to every plate type.

Great black & silver plates

I ordered my black & silver plates on Monday & they arrived Friday, Excellent. I am delighted with the quality of these Perspex plates & from a distance they would be hard to distinguish from the pressed type plate. Thank you, a happy customer!

Our plastic black & silver plates are a great cheaper alternative to to pressed aluminium plates and in some scenarios can be a bit more durable as they don't mark and scratch as easily (although the plan is obviously to avoid contact!). They're also very easy to clean!
