“We ordered a dishwasher middle of September. Delivery changed 3 times since. Only very short notice, email the day before. Difficult to keep putting our plumber off. Finally cancelled the order asking for full refund. Customer team member obviously didn’t read the full email and only refunded £20 delivery charge. Still no dishwasher and they have held on to our cash for 10 weeks now. I will not be recommending this company.”

“Do not use Appliances Direct if you value customer service. They sold me a faulty oven and refuse to deal with the problem - just fobbing me off the manufacturer who never answers the phone! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!!!!”

“An absolute joke of a transaction and as a result I will never be using this company again. I can totally understand that retailers are struggling with the COVID-19 situation but I don't believe that should stop customer interaction/updates. Shortly after ordering I was informed that my delivery date would be pushed back by four months. However, when that new date had passed I had to chase Appliances Direct up to find out that delivery would be pushed back a further four months! Surely this would be a reason to get in touch with a customer?”

“I have used this company several times in the past and been blown away by their organisation and professionalism, I was kept up to date with emails at every stage of the process, I even received a courtesy follow up call after ordering & after delivery. I have place two orders recently, and have had to cancel both due to the web site telling me it’s in stock, when actually it’s NOT, I was given a delivery date of 18th Nov, which was a realistic three week wait, then it was changed to the 27th Jan 2021 – What went wrong ? You were a brilliant company to deal with, now your totally useless, and for that reason, I will NOT be using you ever again.”

“Very bad experience with appliances direct. They have misleading stock information.. I have ordered a fridge freezer four months ago when it was “in stock” on the website. The delivery has been delayed four times with less than 24h notice causing me to lose days off at work. I had to buy another fridge temporarily and than they send me another email saying that the delivery would be delayed again without a date this time... so I had to cancel the order. I’ve lost hundreds of pound in loss of earnings,temporary fridge and phone calls. And at today I still don’t have my fridge. Avoid this company! Don’t try to sell stuff you don’t have!”

“Awful awful awful - sorry I didn’t listen to bad reviews - took money for an already cancelled order - took until I did reviews to get back (luckily I found it). Now waiting for another delivery placed early October - like banging your head against a brick wall - passed from one to another to delivery company who knows nothing about the order - but according to alliance have been trying to ring non stop ((funny boy missed calls or emails) - left without fridge freezer in lockdown with children - awful experience - worst ever”

“I ordered a split aircon unit back in July together with installation. I`ve contacted customer service over 6 times and every time they told me someone will call to arrange for installation the next day. BUT I`m still waiting for someone to contact me, and now we`re heading into winter (the aircond unit was suppose to be for the summer). Complete failure!!”

“Ordered a cooker in September which showed as in stock available for next day delivery on paying for the item they said it couldn't be delivered until the 30th October at the earliest . To now receive an email saying estimated delivery will now be 6th January 2021. Couldn't get through on the phone lines and no reply to messages requesting a refund as I need a cooker ASAP as mine has broken and I have 2 young kids to feed and now no cooker to use!!! Wish I'd never ordered from this site 😕”

“Ordered a dishwasher on 10 September and was scheduled for delivery on 16th October but did not turn up having waited in all day. Have called numerous times and each time is approx 40 minute wait before you can speak to anyone only for them to pass the buck and blame the courier. Still getting fobbed off with excuses and still no delivery date given as yet or reason for non delivery or delay. The worst customer service ever!! I do not recommend shopping with this company, you are safer going elsewhere.”

“Ordered 6 items from their website that stated all in stock and could be delivered in days (scheduled for 28th October allowing time for kitchen to be installed). Just received an email now saying delivery will be Christmas Eve. Really how acceptable do you think this is. Waiting on the phone for nearly 40 minutes to speak to someone. Avoid and use AO.com - lesson learned.”

“Product never arrived, had to chase far too many times to get a refund when they finally did respond didn't really acknowledge how awful they'd been or offer any kind of explanation. Tried to sell me a warranty on a product that already came with a five year parts and labour warranty... Really disappointing service.”

“Built in Oven Appliance delivered, wrong size, Was my fault as difficult to read AD advert for this oven. The delivery van was still at the premesis & AD refused to take the item back, even if I paid for the return. I was also willing to purchase the correct size oven AND cover the return and re-delivery costs. I will NEVER EVER use this company again. DISGUSTING Unacceptable behavious to a customer that had ( in the Past) purchased many items from them. NEVER AGAIN. DISGUSTED with them. They have one star because I am unable to give them NONE”

“Cooker hood arrived and on opening it was found to clearly be something that had been returned to Appliances direct and sent out again. Most of the protective film was missing and what was left on the product was extremely dirty. I suspect it had been installed, had the film removed and then for some reason taken down. Customer services extremely unhelpful and hid behind technology, requesting images to be loaded to the most difficult customer services portal I have ever used. How can they possibly justify sending out products in the state that this one was in?”

“Avoid this Company if you want good after sales service. My Electriq ( own label) oven broke down 6 months into its warranty period and I was referred to the service company. Impossible to make contact by phone but I was eventually granted a visit 1 month after breakdown. Needless to say the engineer could not repair the product as he did not have the part and no contact from the Service agent 1 month later ! I have requested a refund from Appliances Direct as the product has now been unusable for the last 2 months but all they can offer is an apology ( which doesn’t help when you’re trying to cook food) and a chase of the service company who then tell them they are awaiting spare parts. As this has gone on for 2 months now it’s wearing very thin. You have been warned!!!”

“Bought a foldable, portable electric scooter, which turned out NOT to be foldable or portable at all - the locking mechanism simply doesn't engage at all no matter how hard you try. Paid the requisite fifteen quid for next day delivery, which took four days and several emails to come into being! Immediately requested that they collect and replace the faulted item. One month later, I am still waiting for satisfaction. They finally collected it a couple of days ago, but still refuse to honour their "no quibble guarantee" despite having demanded and received my video footage of the fault and offering a £45 gift voucher if I were to just shut up and go away! Current status, no scooter, no refund, no replacement, out of pocket, drowning under paperwork to these cowboys known as APPLIANCES DIRECT and will NEVER buy from them again.”
