“Appliances direct have changed my order date 5 times now, each a few days before the items are due after having to arrange days off work. Still not received two months later. Premium number to call them also which is a further insult to injury. They are quick enough to place your order and let you purchase items, no mention of issues with stock or whatever nonsense they come out with. Would never recommend them to anyone! Please don’t order from them”

“I have dealt with this company previously and had good service, however, my recent experience was poor. I ordered an air purifier/ioniser in April, had an email in May to say it was delayed and then heard nothing. When I started to try to cancel the order last week, one phone number passed me to a further number unavailable, chat unavailable. Finally I cancelled on-line and low and behold had an almost immediate email to say 'it's on its way' then a further email to acknowledge the cancellation. It arrived on the 20th July, 3 months over-due. Do you think this is good service? Naturally the lack of communication and apology I found intensely annoying.”

“Ordered an oven and microwave from these cowboys. Microwave missing the tray and the screws. Been in contact with them for over 4 weeks, keep being promised that parts have been "sent out", then the next week I get an email from another person saying they haven't and so forth, x5. The microwave, although from the same range as the oven, and supposedly "matt black" is a complete different colour to the oven. They've completely ignored this fact after they asked for pictures, which were sent in 2 weeks ago. Last promise was that things will be resolved "within 24 hours" and guess what? Heard nothing from them now for close to a week! *shock* Will be starting a claim with the small claims court, and I encourage anyone else having a similar experience to do the same. Stay well clear!!!”

“Shocking customer service inconsistency with every member of. staff you speak to.. paid for next day delivery no item after much frustration trying to cancel order which isn't proving easy! Very unprofessional I am awaiting my £400+refund. Ordred from a more professional company that knows what they are doing! AVOID!”

“Bought a Siemens microwave combo oven. When it was received the packing looked like it had come from eBay! Inappropriate packaging. When opened broken glass fragments fell out the box, the back of the unit looked like it was hot by a cricket bat, there was food on the door hinges and the whole front of the oven was badly scratched. On top of all this it didn’t work. It was obviously a well used second hand oven that had the glass door replaced. I have now been trying for over a month to get a refund after the oven was returned to them. This return was authorised by AD but each time they are contacted the refund will be 2-5 days. They NEVER honour this. Beware of using this company”

“The phone i bought was advertised as in pristine condition and unlocked. However it was locked on an unknown network and when I called appliances direct they offered me £20 refund to have the phone unlocked which i agreed to. As i did not know the network of the phone, the mobile phone repair shops could not unlock the phone for me so I returned it. Appliances direct received the phone 4 plus weeks ago but are yet to refund me. Rubbish customer service.”

“Ordered a TV and it arrived damaged, reported in with photos within 20 mins of it arriving. I then received an email a few days later saying it would be collected on the 10th. The 10th came no one arrived. Called up customer service to be told it would now be 14th! Swapped shifts at work to be home on 14th and in the morning I called up to confirm that a hot swap would take place today (new tv delivered damaged one taken) was told yes it was, I asked for the couriers number to double check. When I called the courier they said no we have it for tomorrow the 15th!! Called appliances direct to tell them they “apologised” I said I’d taken day off work could I talk to a manager. No point he says the manager will tell you the same. Next day 15th courier arrives but only to collect the damaged TV 🤦‍♂️ Back on the phone again a lady apologises and says it’ll be with you tomorrow. Absolute shambles of a company. I’d never buy from them again.”

“I have been waiting for four weeks to get a date for collection of a dishwasher, although they have accepted to replace it and given me a returns ref number: 7780928. So I have an excellently packaged dishwasher occupying space in my garage While we wait to hear of a collection date. I would not use again. Believe using the current crisis as an excuse to hang on to our money.”

“The Salesmen lied about having a product in stock. We asked specifically if the refrigerator was in stock and in the back before we bought it. Paid for it and said we could pick it up the next day. Drive from Sebastian to Melbourne, only to find out they don't have our Refrigerator nor any in stock and won't get a delivery until tomorrow. Then another sales associate only said" Well, I don't know what you want me to do." How about see if you can fix the problem or give me the one off the floor. Instead, just struggled it off. If it doesn't come tomorrow, we will get a refund of our $1200.”

“Very poor service, only receiving automatic response to my emails, can't get through on the phone. I ordered an air conditioning unit for my mom on 26th June. The credit card payment did not work (my fault not theirs) so I sent a bank transfer to the address they gave me on the 27th. The money left my account on this date and I paid extra for next day delivery. No sign of my order. I couldn't track it and it said payment was not made. 14th of July and still no sign of my order. I have now cancelled the order which seemed to be a very quick process. But lets see when I will get my money back?? I would have preferred to have the air con unit. First time I have had problems ordering online.”

“Ordered a cooker paid extra for faster delivery due to needing a cooker asap Got a email stating no delivery until a extra week bearing in mind I have small children. Plus paid for faster delivery. When ordering the item it would of been more acceptable if I was told no item in shop so be given two options wait or full refund. None was given. Made a complaint. Refunded the delivery fee. However no wire was with the cooker. Overall dissatisfied customer.”

“Terrible service, my dishwasher arrived with a broken door lock making it unusable. I tried to call but after going through many menu's I got disconnected every time that I finally got the option to speak to a human "The number you are calling is not recognised" I sent an e-mail with photos. It took 6 days for a response, they offered me £20! I replied immediately that the product is unusable and needs replacing. I waited 7 days for a reply. This reply referred to my "washing machine" when in fact I bought a dishwasher. I was now being offered £30. I again explained that I want a replacement once again saying my item is NOT cosmetically damaged it is mechanically broken and using it would flood my kitchen. I have waited 7 days for a reply and nothing. I now have a broken dishwasher sitting in my living room. I tried calling again today at 14.00 to hear a recorded message that lines were closed for the day due to high volumes of calls and to try again tomorrow. This is totally unacceptable. I won't be using them again.”

“PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I ordered a food processor on the 29th May and I am still waiting for this to be delivered. I have been given 3 delivery dates during that time and they have not met any of them. Money was taken from my account without the food processor actually being in stock (this was not stated on the website) It is impossible to contact them via their phone line and my 3 requests via email for a refund have been ignored. 6 weeks down the line I am out of pocket with no food processor delivered and the unlikelyhood that it will be anytime soon if ever. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.”

“Be prepared to be charged a fortune to use their support line... it’s been two weeks since I received my faulty range cooker, Appliances Direct have not supported me at all. I have now worked directly with the cooker manufacturer to arrange a replacement. If you want to run the risk of not receiving any decent after sales service ... be my guest”
