Thousands models of brand original remote controls in our stock. .................................................................................. We only want positive reviews and we will do everything for that. If you are not satisfied with our product, please give us a chance to solve the problem before giving us a bad rating. As manufacturers, unlike resellers, we can analyze the problem, reprogram the product, or recommend another model/type (exchange is free!).

A replacement remote control must not only be of high quality but, most importantly, must be COMPATIBLE with the product. If your remote control is not working, it is usually because it is a wrong incomatible type, not because it is defective. ...................................................................................

Illuminated Sony Remote

Best price and excellent service from RCW. Remote was dispatched promptly and arrived quickly and well-packed. I'm very pleased with it - smart-looking, metal-finished and illuminated - much better than the old plastic one and works perfectly.

Quick support and the remote works great

I ordered a programmed TV remote. It took about a week for the programming until it was shipped out, which was a bit longer than I expected, but the result was worth the wait.

When I had a small issue getting it started, Ondřej from customer care provided quick and clear troubleshooting steps that solved it immediately. I’m happy with the service and the product.

Just a fantastic experience

fantastic from start to the remote arriving with me. I thought my old Cambridge Audio Amp was heading to the recycle centre, the remote was playing up and made using the amp very difficult. a replacement was not available from Cambridge audio then I spotted this on a google search, It was easy to select the remote I needed from the website, with a picture of the original unit to compare. I selected the UPS for delivery and didn't expect it to arrive on time at Christmas. It was actually due the day before! but a serious road traffic accident blocked access to my house for over three hours. Thinking my delivery would be left till after Christmas but the next day at 08:30 the remote was delivered. Works far better than the original, so I am very happy.

We’re truly happy to hear that everything worked out so well and that the replacement remote brought your Cambridge Audio amp back to life. It’s great to know our website made it easy to find the right remote and that the delivery exceeded your expectations—especially during the busy Christmas period and despite the unexpected circumstances.

We’re delighted that the remote works even better than the original and that you’re very happy with it. Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing us!

Several times I requested for a manual for my ordered remote control. Without that I can't use it.
The received overview with buttons is NOT a manual. It is not complete.
What a bad buy.

Dear Customer,

We are sorry to hear about your difficulties using the remote control. Please note that the manual for your remote control was sent to you several times.

Regarding any other manual, as we previously explained: there is no separate manual available. Replacement remote controls are generally considered parts for the devices they operate, and additional manuals are not typically provided. The manual you may be looking for is included with the original device for which the remote was purchased.

We hope this clarifies the situation and appreciate your understanding.

Good remotes

Very happy with the products I received, they contacted me after placing the order to make sure they would send me the correct remote control for our tv. Great service, but only thing was that it took a couple of weeks between ordering it, to it being sent, so give yourself plenty of time if you are getting one as a present for someone.
I would use this company again.

Good all around.

After receiving helpful information over their website and email, I sent in my 30-year-old broken remote control.
I perceived VAT Remote Control World as well versed, multilingual, with quick response times, a wide range of services, reasonable offerings, and professional order processing. Finally, I got back my old remote control, working fine again.

The company of the best customer service ever!

Despite of a "bumpy order" (partly our fault) I have to give five stars.. For some reason the remote we ordered did not work - but that is not the point I'm giving five stars. :) Solving the problem and finally fixing our original a bit disabled remote + sending a new one -this service earns five stars. And my special thanks to customer service! She was the most patient and friendliest ever! My warmest thank you to her especially!

Very Poor Customer Service Experience

Very disappointing experience with their customer service. Before purchasing the remote I checked with them if the remote was correct of which they confirmed it was for my streaming device. The remote would not work upon arrival. I contacted Remote Control World to ask for help and they offered instructions on how to solve the issue. None of their solutions helped in this circumstance and I can only think that either the unit is faulty or it is incorrect for my system. Because of their slow replies I am past the 30 day PayPal window and cannot claim on this. The company have advised that I can return for a refund but this would be at my own cost which is 75% of the cost of the remote. They will only refund the cost of return postage if a fault is found. So that risk is being left on me and I would stand to lose out. This isn't how customer service should be. I have asked for a different solution or guarantee that postage would be refunded upon return but have not had a response from them. If this was a return due to my own choice then the return offered is correct but this is due to an item that is not functioning on my system as it is supposed to. I would not recommend using this company and feel very angry at their poor treatment of me as a customer. Slow replies and a failure to try and offer a middle ground. Look elsewhere if you need replacement remotes!

UPDATE: Since my review I was contracted by their head of customer care. This person was much better in their support for me and the product and a satisfactory outcome was gained straight away. This should have been the initial response 2 months ago. Many thanks to Ondrej for swiftly helping resolve this one.

I had placed an order for a remote control from the company.
Unfortunately — largely due to my own mistake, as I later realized — I ordered the wrong remote. (I’d rather not detail what exactly I messed up, because it’s quite embarrassing.)

I reported the issue, but it couldn’t be resolved at first, most likely because I hadn’t explained the problem thoroughly enough. After several additional exchanges, Mr. Ondrej from the company assisted me, and together we figured out which remote would be the most suitable for me.

Thank you to him and to the company for the excellent support!
