“Received a faulty item. Arranged a pick up, trying to pick up from wrong address. A lot of frustration and phone calls. Please don't buy.”

“Cheap, fast sales service, but this company does nothing to make good on its mistakes. 6 weeks on from their failure to deliver some software, and I am still waiting for a refund. Multiple emails and phone calls have made no difference whatsoever. Buyers beware!”

“Ordered a laptop, headphones and a bag on the 24th December. Got email on 27th , package is on way and another today (28th) package will be delivered between 8am and 6pm. Waited in all day then package arrives, no laptop in package. Phoned the 0871 971 0081 number (13p per min) to be connected to never ending dance music, with no indication of how long connection to an agent may take.”

“I ordered an A2 refurbished HP Envy with SSD. There are no serviceable parts in these devices so they need to: 1. Clean; 2. Function check and repair if necessary, 3. Reset the operating system. Laptops direct failed on 2 of 3. The laptop was grubby, didn't charge correctly had a faulty battery and on return and examination, was told it had a motherboard fault and wouldn't be returned. I would say it's reasonably safe to assume refurbished meant stick it in a box and send it out. Following this customer service was awful, incompetent and frustrating. Fortunately they're a Google certified company and when I dealt with them through Google they responded. I won't ever use or recommend this company”

“had to order a 1600 pounds laptop to replace my old one on Friday, and paid 20 extra pounds to have it delivered on Saturday, because as a CG artist freelancer, I needed it for my work. The next day at 5pm, it hadn't arrived yet so I called laptops directs and they told me it should arrive soon. I waited a little bit more, then called the carrier who told me it wouldn't arrive this day, as the supplier had selected a delivery on Monday. Today is Monday, I called laptops direct and even though I explained them that it was their mistake, that there was a good reason why I paid those extra 20 pounds and that I lost three days of work and had to spend my whole Saturday and now all Monday at home waiting for the delivery, they only refunded the "delivery delay difference" of 15 pounds. No compensation whatsoever beside that. I don't like to write reviews and especially bad ones, but I don't want anybody to do the same mistake: if you're in a hurry, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM, go anywhere else, Amazon is cheaper, delivers in time and refund you when they are the ones that messed up.”

“I ordered an Acer XB271HU monitor as a Christmas present on 2nd Dec, it showed as in stock on the website and said it would be delivered on 6th Dec. Got an email on 6th changing delivery to 7th, got a further email on 7th saying they didn't actually have it in stock and would be back in contact when it came in. Rang them on the 7th and was told they would get in touch with the supplier for a date and get back to me. Got an email shortly after saying approx 9th so I phoned and asked what it meant by "approx" as I don't want to be let down again. I was told that it was approx as the couriers are allowed up to 4 days after to deliver but not to worry as it would definitely be here within 4 days from 9th as I had explained to them that the rest of my son's present (the tower) has been here for weeks and I have been unable to test it as I have no monitor and my concern is that if there is an issue either with the tower or the monitor I'm not being left with much time to arrange a replacement before Christmas as this is the second company that has let me down on delivery as Ebuyers did exactly the same thing and I had to cancel that order. Got a further email on 9th saying it now won't be delivered until 20th Dec !! Rang to cancel my order, the woman I spoke to didn't even apologise and was completely disinterested and as they have already taken payment I now have to wait up to 4 working days to get my money back. Won't be using Laptops Direct again, have ordered from Amazon now and it is being delivered on next day service.”

“Laptops direct are the worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. They sold Me a faulty tv, it took Me months of hassle to get a refund. When I finally got it they reduced the amount by 10 % for a so called usage charge. Trading standards informed Me this is illegal, I told laptops direct but they don't care. Any company is only as good as its after sales service. The customer service team are rude and incompetent. If You buy from here and your purchase develops a fault forget about Your consumer rights. Avoid this company at all costs.”

“Probably the worst company in existence. I ordered a refurbished laptop and apparently refurbished to them means the exact same thing as used. It obviously hadn't been touched as it was dirty but my main complaint is to do with the little matter of the £400 laptop not actually working at all. I have a feeling this has something to do with me skipping the ridiculous £30 service charge (which probably means they turn it on to check its working). Turning it on would have showed the OS didn't work and they sent it anyway for me to fix as I had not payed the charge for a 'full service'. Company is a joke and you can tell as they have no review system as they would all be 1 star.”

“Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! Laptop broken down twice for less than three years, luckily I avail the extended warranty and usb back up. Now technical team said they dont need the usb, I realised that the usb back up amounting to £25 is of no use because the laptop has built-in back up and as for the warranty, I paid additional £20 for them to pick up my laptop, they took £28.82. I complained and told them that, they said they've refunded me 8.82 now I found out they didn't refund me the money to where I paid them instead to a different account they said I used to purchase the laptop 3yrs ago. Strange because it has been closed two years ago. Bank thought it is fradulent because there is no account anymore with my name exsisting on them. Dodgy company beware and don't give your bank details better if you really wish to purchase product with them pay them in cheque”

“Rather a big mistake to ever make a purchase from Laptops Direct. I was sold a product with an upgrade. Now down the line when a fault occurred outside of warranty (which is ok) I am told by Acer that the product. I was sold should never have been sold with an upgrade as it is not comparable. Acer or laptop direct or even Microsoft do not want to no. Laptop direct just say put it in writing we will do nothing but reply in 14 days. Totally avoid any purchase from this company or Acer both are dreadful.”

“If I could give negative stars I would, I ordered a laptop from them waited a week for delivery, the got a phone call explaining that they no longer had in stock and was not made anymore. Fair enough so they offer me a reconditioned model with a slightly higher spec. Fine however when the laptop shows up within the week it starts not working properly. Won't turn on, audio I messed up and the video is rubbish. I contact them several time and go through every step of advice they give. Which was extremely thard to get by the way. It takes 2 months to admit that bit needs fixed. I send the laptop back in the best packaging I have but gets damaged In transit. The are refusing to even look.at the problem so I'm stuck with a laptop that one doesn't turn on and I'm still paying for. Staff were unhelpful and every request to correspond via email was ignored meaning the process was needlessly long and stressful. Will never use them again”

“We ordered a all in one PC from Laptops Direct and they delivered wrong item. When asked them to return the item and refund they said my return request was not accepted as this is a business order and they do not accept unwanted returns. Firstly whatever the reason this is an unacceptable customer service and more importantly when it is totally their mistake delivering wrong item they blame us ordering wrong item. How can any business carry on with this kind of service from a supplier? This is totally unacceptable. What a waste of time dealing with them, what a waste of money spend with them if you are a business. If this is how they treat to a potential business customer which can spend over £250k per annum I do not even want to imagine how they would treat individual customers. Doing business with any of the group companies again? Never again. Not through work and not personally. And whatever the result maybe, I will make sure everyone I know through work and personally know what kind of a company buyitdirect is. Ohh well if they wont accept return then I will contact my bank and if necessary visa company. Not because of value of item but principle. They need to learn how they should provide "Customer Service"”
