Unprofessional.

Received screen promptly. That is about all the good things I can say about this seller.

For anyone sceptical about this seller, although I DID get a refund, they will sell you a screen (in my experience, I ordered the LP125WF2-SPB2, just for context) that is *compatible*, but not the exact part model they list (I instead recieved LP125WF2-SPB1). I find this incredibly disingenuous as this screen is a specific older revision with defects I had reached out to them about, unaware of the serial change until closer inspection of images I had sent them. They did not admit to this themselves nor absolve any responsibility for this screen (when I brought this up, they put a little piece at the end saying they can sell a screen of 100% compatibility, which is rarely mentioned aside from on their website, but it also says that they should send one of equal quality, which they didn't.)

Anyway, so I recieved an incorrect screen, when I contacted the seller for a resolution, despite being a supplier not a repair company, they told me, that my screen (which was having ghosting issues) and uses the EDP connector (which is pretty much universal), was incompatible. The machine this was in was the x250 and there is overwhelming evidence on the firmware level and in general by just some smart googling that they are. It dissapoints me the lack of understanding of the underlying technology at this company and the unwillingness to accept when they get something wrong. If they had just acknowledged what they sold was bad I might've left a more positive review.

The seller will also hold an extended warranty *if* you rate them 5 stars, which I deem to be why their trustpilot page is incredibly overwhelmed with high level reviews, as the people who only notice it later are likely told its their problem not the sellers, and why they seem to have more and more ebay negative reviews coming up regularly.

I also want to note if you read this far, that if an ebay seller has 63000 listings for screens, they probably dont intend to sell the actual part for a majority of those. Be incredibly careful around sellers like these.

Reply from Require IT LTD

Hi James,

I'm very sorry to see that your buying experience has been less than perfect which is of course what we aim to achieve. After looking over the messages of this I can see that the team advised of the compatibility issue once we realised the model this was going into. I can of course see that they offered a return and refund at no expense to yourself.

I can confirm we do also request feedback from our customers in the form of reviews or feedback on the platform they purchased from, over the 14+ years of trading we have had more than 44,000 feedbacks with a positive transaction rate, we request feedback from our customers to help us improve our service. We welcome all feedback and thank you for yours, and I of course hope you will get in contact with us again if you do require another LCD in the future and we hope you'll get to see a better transaction with us in the future.

Thank you in advance

Kind Regards,
Michael

Top class experience from abroad

I had to replace the 17.3" screen of my Asus Rog laptop and wrote to them asking if their product would have fitted my needs.
The shipment to Italy was made a few hours after the payment was done. The spare part was exactly the same mounted by Asus.
Couldn't ask for more.

The place to go for laptop screen replacement

I bought a new
LED WXGA SCREEN FOR IBM LENOVO LTN141AT15 from Require IT. Unlike many other sellers who advertise branded screen but deliver lesser known 'compatible', my screen was a genuine Samsung panel. The price was extremely competitive too. It came very well packed and I had no problem installing it (I have never replaced a screen before !!). Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks Require IT !!

2 Reconditioned LCD screens

I bought 2 LCD screens from this company. They arrived promptly and were well packaged. On opening, they looked like new, which is always reassuring on reconditioned products. The screens worked flawlessly when fitted and I'm very happy.

Exceptional very prompt helpful service

I found what I thought was the correct laptop replacement screen on EBay but as this was a local company to me I messaged to see if I could call in person to make sure I did order the correct item. I also sent photos of laptop info sticker and of the bottom connection edge of my current screen whilst it was still in situ to see if that helped identify if I was looking at right item. I received a very prompt reply saying that I needed a different screen. I ordered that and received it 10.40am the next day (P&P included in price) Extremely well packaged, now installed and working, couldn't be happier, just wish I'd replaced months sooner! Highly recommend this company, service couldn't have been better.

Replacement screen for Huawei MateBook D14

Needed a replacement screen for a Huawei matebook D14 and found Require IT through eBay. Their delivery was really quick and the price was good. I had the laptop repaired within an hour and was certainly cheaper than paying the excess on the home contents insurance. Would definitely recommend them

Very professional

Ordered a lenovo T500 display on ebay. The help desk sent an email to confirm that the product number of the display ordered, matches with the one I want. This is very professional to me, as it avoids mistakes to happen. Great customer service and immediate support! Fast shipping as well!

Replacement Laptop Screen

I needed to replace a broken screen on my laptop. The description of the part as advertised clearly allowed me to identify it as the correct part I required. It arrived promptly, sealed in its original packaging and works perfectly. I am happy to recommend Require IT LTD and will be happy to use their service again in the future.
