“The score is for my overall experience dealing with Carplatesdirect. The plates I received were exactly as I wanted & delivered in a very timely manner. Score for this 5/5. From this perspective I would definetly use Carplatesdirect again. The customer service aspect was very poor. I must have called the number on the website a dozen times, always going to voicemail, where I left numerous messages. I emailed a dozen or so times as well, and although I got a couple of responses back, it did not address my issue & the question I had, hence the score of 2/5. if the customer services improves in the future, I will certainly use Carplatesdirect again.”

“Plates not very well made, took a few days to arrive. Emailed with photos of plates to show why I thought they were not very good, not had a reply. Won’t be buying from here again.”

“Ordered from here previously so ordered again - fast delivery however a random hole was already drilled into the rear plate. I’d made the change on DVLA website and insurance before I opened the box and saw the plates, so I’ve had no choice but to use them. Not impressed.”

“Used this supplier as web site looked professional and offered express delivery.48 hr delivery,I waited 5 days after paying £10 for express delivery. Personally just go to your local plate supplier and collect instantly for half the price.”

“Whilst the new plate appears to have been manufactured quickly, it was lost by Evri. Nobody answered the phone at Plates Direct which was frustrating. An E mail was eventually answered and a replacement plate was delivered 13 days after the original order.”

“Quality of plate, good - no problems there. I ordered a standard UK rear plate, no fancy lettering or borders, for use on a trailer. Ordered as per the website instructions, hours before 2pm and chose Express Delivery. This was the Thursday morning as I needed it for a trailer for the following Sunday. I expected Express delivery would mean it would arrive by Saturday. The weekend came and went and I had to do the journing with a hand-written plate on the trailer, not ideal at all. The following Wednesday (a week after ordering) the pate arrived. Funnily enough, the day I got back from the 1200 mile round trip. Hardly what you'd call "express delivery". I emailed Car Plates Direct about it and the response was a one-liner, "Sorry we do not sell a guranteed timeframe delivery service." I think if you check your website again, you'll see you do. Very disappointing customer service. I gave them a chance to offer me a refund between the 'express' service and normal service but nothing has been forthcoming, not even an acknowledgement of my email, so here's the poor review. My advice, don't bother with express delivery if you're desperate for a plate, it's not worth the additional money.”

“The quality of the number plate was excellent however only half my order arrived. The fitting kit is still somewhere out there but certainly not with me. Hence the rating!”

“Production time and product excellent, paid £9.99 for 24 hour express delivery, which unfortunately and unknown at the time was via Evri. They were terrible with no updates. If I'd known who was to deliver I would've paid £12.99 for Royal Mail 24 hour signed for.”
