Lamps2udirect !!!

I ordered LED lamps which turned out to be out of stock ( this was not made clear on the website). A week later I emailed to enquire where the order was to be told they would be in stock that Friday. A week later still no delivery so emailed again to be told the goods had been sent and should be with me “imminently” . Two days later I get and email to inform me the goods had “just shipped”. As an electrical contractor I need companies I can rely on and trust so I won’t be placing anymore orders with Lamps2udirect.

Long tube bulb for kitchen

Had a long tube bulb delivered for underneath my kitchen units, however it was smashed by FedEx en-route !!
I immediately emailed Lamps2udirect with photo evidence.
A gent called Martin immediately responded (I was like WOW), as it was after business hours.
He immediately dispatched another out, which arrived the following day, encased in a long hard cardboard tube and bubble wrap inside (well protected)
Now installed and working great :)
A truly 5-Star customer service experience and I won’t hesitate to shop with lamps2udirect again and I’ll certainly be recommending friends & family, too
Thanks again, Martin :)

Recent Orders with Lamps 2 U Direct

I placed 2 orders with Lamps 2 U Direct and both were delivered in good time. There was a problem with the second order in that the incorrect bulbs were shipped. However this was sorted out very quickly by the sales team and the correct bulbs were then shipped to me the same afternoon. Hence 4 stars rather than 5 this time!

Very wanting long waiting

Waited a long time didn’t get my lights. They were very polite and eventually gave me a refund. However after nearly 2months getting the wrong ones due to a “picking/packing” problem but selling items that they actually don’t have in stock. Slow communication via email as they never answered the phone ever, I eventually got a refund after requesting then going to resolution centre. Very disappointed with service

Hello there - Please confirm your order number so we can resolve this issue for you. We have been moving premises this week, so have been slightly behind getting back to emails (This information is advised on our site), but as of last night we are completely up to date, so I am unsure what this relates to? Can you get in touch - sales@lamps2udirect.com - A contact name would also be useful...

different item arrived to what i ordered

Ordered LED bulbs and outside light with expected 5-7days shipping time. Weeks go by, no update. Email them and they say they are awaiting stock of outside light. I ask them to send the LED bulbs.. they arrive finally 20days later but they are completely different to what I ordered! and the outside light still isn't in stock. I have requested a full refund with no response yet..

Hello Malika, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We did get in touch to advise one of the items was out of stock, but delivery for this took longer than expected. You requested a part delivery, which we arranged. We actually sent you a BELL elite GU10 LED which is a better product and double the price of the lamps you ordered. Generally people are happy with product upgrades, but obviously that was not the case on this occasion. Even so, we arranged a full refund and let you keep the lamps.

useless and ignorant attitude company

useless and ignorant attitude. Ordered some bulbs 18th Nov, waited several days, contacted them by e-mail, got a reply stating they had to order some more as out of stock. Waited again, then asked for update, reply order had been shipped on 1st Dec. Now 9th Dec. have e-mailed them twice for update, no replies and no bulbs. Have now told them to cancel order and refund money. Do I hold my breath???

What a waste of time

What a waste of time. Simple order for one LED replacement strip. They charge for delivery.

Repeated delays. Weeks go by.We are out of stock. Then our shipment did not arrive. Then it will be here next week. Never arrived no commitment. I ask for a refund. No response

Then it finally arrived today...AND IT IS BROKEN see photos.

You other customers do what you want but I'll never use this firm ever again. Utterly hopeless. Easier to drive to a local store. Pathetic customer service broken bulb, what else is there to say.

Asked for a full refund. I'll follow up with a review update if I don't get one

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Things are going much slower than we would like right now. We appreciate how frustrating it must be to wait for delivery and then have them item arrive damaged. We will arrange a full refund for you.

Will not answer the phone after no delivery.

Accepted order except tubes not in stock on 28th October. I have just had to chase up a refund by email after a month.

We only have one phone line that gets very busy this time of the year! We do urge customers to email us, that way we will come back to you ASAP and you do not have to make a phone call. Thank you for the 4 start review though - It's appreciated.
