A truly dreadful experience with Require IT Ltd

After reviewing other negative reviews I can now relate to the threatening behaviour from staff and lack of consideration when they make a mistake.

I ordered a replacement screen via eBay for my Lenovo laptop and asked Require IT for a particular LG screen part number for a direct replacement which was confirmed to be in stock before I placed the order.

A tracking number was provided for DPD next day delivery and I organised for a local computer technician to come out and swap the screen for me as I needed to get my laptop up and running quickly for work.

The screen arrived on time however frustratingly it was not the part code that Require IT confirmed would be sent. The screen received was an old part number that was discontinued and revised years ago due to ghosting.

I contacted Require IT Ltd who blamed the error on their stocking system, and said that they would refund once the incorrect screen was returned and could not sent the correct part ordered as they did not have it.

I asked Required IT if they would consider discounting the received screen by 50% (£34) which I considered to be a fair and easy resolution for both parties as the part received was inferior to what I had ordered and paid for and also as I had already booked a technician to swap the screen out which would incur costs if rescheduled.

Surprisingly Require IT declined this proposal and I was threatened to be reported to eBay for 'forcing a massive discount'.

I then politely asked for their email address to send the invoice to for the costs incurred due to their error however they got very defensive and also threatened to report me to eBay for ‘billing them with additional costs’.

A full day wasted and I am out of pocket with no consideration of anything but an apology and refund on return.

Edit 1;

Now returned incorrect part back for a full refund and I have absorbed the costs incurred.

Reply from Require IT LTD

Hi James,

I am very sorry to hear that your experience with our eBay team has been less than 100% positive for you, this is of course never what we like to see and strive to always put the customer first.

After looking over this case and going back through all correspondence I can see that we shipped a compatible part number for this purchase, we try to be clear that on occasions we have to ship a 100% compatible part number which we mention within our item specifics and also terms and conditions. I do understand that on this occasion you were expecting an exact part number, so I am sorry to see that a compatible was shipped.

But of course we understand if you are not happy with the purchase then we are more than happy to accept a return for a full refund and will cover the return shipping as a gesture of goodwill. I can see our team offered a return on a few occasions, but this was not accepted and you confirmed you were keeping the part but wanted it at half price, which we could not offer I’m afraid.

If you do require any further clarification over this or if we can help further in any way please do email me directly on Michael@requireit.co.uk and I’ll be happy to assist.

Thank you,
Michael

Require IT were the only company that would deliver my replacement laptop screen in the time frame required. Their communication and customer service were first class and the new screen arrived within the estimated time frame. Fully recommended.

Never a worry!

We are a privately owned computer repair shop running for almost 20 years and have used Require IT LTD on a number of occasions. Even when things are difficult (our own ordering mistakes, and technical issues) Require IT have been great at resolving our issues and have never given us cause for concern. We whole heartedly recommend them as first class screen suppliers!
