“Buyitdirect...just not from them Bought a monitor online (Lenovo ThinkVision) from Laptops Direct which was delivered within days. This is where the bang stops. The webcam was faulty. Asked for the unit to be picked up and it only took their courier "service" x3 attempts to actually do so, as they couldn't locate an address in W1 (sic !)... 2 weeks later and without even consulting me, they just sent me a refund (- shipping cost) when I had clearly asked them to fix the issue and ship back the unit. Pathetic from start to finish.”

“I've been waiting for over 3 weeks for a laptop to be delivered. My son started school 2 weeks ago and has missed out due this issue. Regular reassurances from customer services that they will follow-up and get back to me - no communication has been forthcoming and i'd had to spend significant time myself chasing this up. Other tech retailers can delivery within 24 hours - will definitely not be re-using LaptopsDirect and will advise others to avoid.”

“I ignored the negative reviews on Trustpilot because, overall, Laptops Direct had a 'Great' 4-star rating. After my experience dealing with them, however, I have reason to believe that the positive reviews on Trustpilot are fake (written by the company employees) in an attempt to cancel out the sheer volume of complaints. I have actually reported Laptops Direct to Trading Standards because of how badly they've handled my order. They took my money immediately and then just kept failing to dispatch the item. I was told time and time again (when I complained to customer services) that the phone had been dispatched and that I would be receiving it 'the following day'. Two weeks and four complaints later, they told me the phone was out of stock (the same day they'd told me for the fourth time, that they were sending another one out to me). The LaptopsDirect website, however, says that the phone is not out of stock! It says that the item is very much IN STOCK. So either their customer service team is misleading people or their website is. One thing is for sure, whoever next buys the phone is going to have the same two week experience I have had! When I questioned customer service about the contradicting stock information, they ignored me. They offered nothing more than their generic apologies for any inconvenience caused. I have finally given up with them and requested a full refund. Whether I get one or not, still remains to be seen. The only thing I know for certain about Laptops Direct is that they cannot refund my time. I strongly advise buyers to shop elsewhere. It won't end well. I ended up buying my new phone from Carphone Warehouse (for the exact same price). It arrived the next day for free and I am writing this review on it.”

“I ordered a mobile phone and was told it would be delivered on the following Tuesday by DVD- it wasn't. On Thursday I emailed and was given a tracking number which proved to be a lie. After another week I emailed again and was told they were out of stock. So I emailed and cancelled my order. Another week went by with no communication from them. I emailed again and received a reply and apologies and that the cancellation would be dealt with quickly. It wasn't. Another week went by and TNT delivered the phone and I received an email to say it was too late to cancel the order as it had been despatched. Meanwhile they had reduced the price by £5. I recommend you don't deal with Laptops Direct.”

“YOU BUY & PAY - NOTHING IS DELIVERED FOR MONTHS YOU BUY YOU PAY - NOTHING IS DELIVERED FOR MONTHS. - I have purchased a laptop for a Ł1000 from this company on 1 January. I was promised a 3-4 day delivery time. The delivery date came and went. The delivery date was changed and changed again and again and again, a total of four times!!! When I started to complain one month later, they promised another computer with similar but much less specs for the same money. I refused and selected a very similar item. Again I was promised a delivery time, but this time I was told that I have to wait a full month, so I waited. On the date of the delivery, they emailed me again, the 5th time, that the item will not be delivered. Yet again, they offered much worse computers for the same money. This company is a morally totally compromised con artist gang. They are literally selling goods that they do not have, they do not have any prospects to get in stock. Once you are disappointed with the delivery issues, they offer you worse quality goods / computers for the same money. I guess that is how they are selling their less sellable products. - They take your money - they make you wait weeks or months - and once you are fed-up enough, they either offer a refund or you must accept a worse item. Save your money, your time and sanity and go somewhere else. With this mentality, this company should be out of business and it would be better for all of us.”

“Absolute shambles of Customer service. Purchased a £1300 laptop in the sale, it arrived with software faults and I experienced multiple blue screens. Raised with CS and they completely ignored the issue, didnt even acknowledge that part of my complaint. I ended up having to complete a full install and reinstall of the software to resolve. a massive inconvenience and again the CS team literally ignored my multiple emails and only addressed other points I had raised (I was missing a code for a free game download) Several weeks on and still the CS team are skirting round the issue but finally someone replied to say I needed to take the issue up with MSI directly.......so I purchase a faulty laptop and reported it within 7 days of owning, yet I have been pushed away and ignored. I would avoid this place at all costs if you want a quality item and service to match”

“This is the worst company I have ever dealt with I ordered my new Laptop paid for next day delivery the item didn't Arrive I contacted the company and it hadn't even been sent another 2 days passed and I asked to cancel my order. 2 Days after me asking to cancel the laptop was sent, I had to send the laptop back and I still haven't received my £1109.96 refund 3 weeks later. I went to ebuyer.com purchased the same laptop for the same price and it was with me the next day. very very poor service all I want is my full refund”

“Paid £850 for a laptop, delivery promised in under a week, a month later and nothing has come, not even a notification from the company. Contacted customer support and they claimed they would help but haven’t got back to me. At a loss”

“Disgusting service, brought a £300 monitor in December which upon lightly cleaning the screen has completely gone, they are saying this is user damage but nowhere on their site does it say you can not clean the product and should leave it dusty, the person emailing did not actually read my emails and was replying with random responses which I assume where an attempt to get me to leave the issue. The person who called was no better!!”

“Bought a 4k 32" monitor with next day delivery. Arrived promptly but left side of the screen didnt work. Contacted them said they could turn it around super quick. Super quick i am now five days later being told is likely to be two weeks. They have the monitor back now, they have the manufacturers case number agreeing it needs replacing. They have never contacted me ive chased them up instead. They make these promises then fail to deliver. Wish i had never heard of this company. Unhelpful disinterested and poor customer service... The latest is its a high price product so it takes time to sort out, wait who paid that price??? Meanwhile my editing studio stands all kitted out with no monitor to let me use it...”

“UNBELIVABLY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE Several time customer, always been fine, but wait until you have a problem! The worst customer experience I have ever encountered - this is the first time I have ever been compelled to write a negative review. Purchased Epson Ecotank as a xmas present. Faulty, couldnt get past set up. Advised Buy It Direct on 05.01. 13 email exchanges since and still no resolution. Initially tried to send me to the manufacturer. I advised my contract was with them and my intent was not to envoke to warranty but rather claim a refund or exchange under Consumer Rights Act 2015. Initially (3 emails) failed to acknowledge content of the emails and prefered to continue to prescribe same - refer to manufacturer. Then aledgedly escalted to a case manager on 13th Jan- stil waiting for their response??? Attaining any response (even untimely) is frustrating. Email chain attached!! At the very least should prove embarrassing! BUT AT YOUR PERIL”
