“Purchased from their site and paid for the item in full, paying extra for next day delivery. Received email stating that the item had been despatched. This was not possible since they did not have the item in stock. The cover for the item I had ordered arrived but not the item itself. Customer services will get back within 24 hours but they can do little because they do not have it in stock. Yet they still charged for fast delivery and have retained my money. I requested a refund credited to my account - this cannot happen for up to 14 days. The reason I paid for next day delivery was because I needed the item. I am now stuck because I loose money if I go to another supplier who does have it in stock. The customer services/complaints line is so busy they are not accepting any further calls - shame they refused to accept my money. If you can't collect the item then leave them well alone and go somewhere more truthful.”

“Unable to set up laptop due to being asked to login with a learn direct account. Sent an e massage had no reply. Phoned and received a call back but was transferred to a Hewlett Packard customer service centre. They informed me the issue is with Laptops Direct as they have removed the LEARN DIRECT log in requirements. At this moment have a laptop that can’t be used as it is not allowing the user to set up laptop. Frustrating as previously bought a laptop and setting up was straight forward. Not this time!!!”

“Ordered a laptop and arranged to pay through finance. Paid extra for next day delivery and here the nightmare starts. Item delivered after 5 days, item delivered was same model but very inferior specs than ordered. Item ordered was 9750H and item delivered 8750H. • The actual item ordered had 2.6 GHz processor and the item delivered had 2.2 GHz processor. • The item ordered had 16GB DDR4 SODIMM and the item delivered had 8GB RAM. • The item ordered had 512GB SSD drive and item delivered had 120GB SSD drive. • The item ordered had GTX 1660 graphics card and item delivered had GTX 1060 card. Clearly specification ordered and received are no way near the match and I was just offered a refund of £20 or £30 whereas the specifications ordered and received could be difference of over £480 credit . Please note I also installed my Office 365 license on it before I noticed the various issues and this means I cant use that license key anymore and lost £56. I tried calling customer services many times and was on hold for long and then I left with an option to receive a call back but so far I have not received that call. The customer service I have received was very poor and now I am told that the item will be collected and not any confirmation given in terms of refund. Collection of item was very quick and it took over 18 days to get my deposit back. I will keep away for this company and buy from a reputable seller”

“I ordered a monitor on 4/4/20, and I am still yet to recieve it. After numerous emails saying that they are waiting on suppliers to get in contact with them, they keep pushing the delivery date back. When I ordered the monitor it was listed on the website as 1 available. I now have a pc which cant be used until I recieve a monitor. Would not recommend to anyone.”

“Currently refusing to help me despite sending me a product which is not fit for purpose, not of satisfactory quality and had not lasted a reasonable amount of time. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, it is their obligation to resolve this issue yet they keep trying to deflect me to the manufacturer. I have supplied them with plenty of evidence and tried to work with them on this but even after having my case escalated, they are trying to avoid their legal duty. I haven't had a faulty product in the past so whilst their delivery and prices seemed okay at the time, they are certainly not a company I would recommend. I would urge everyone looking at the reviews to look for cases where there have been problems and I know I have been guilty in the past of leaving a positive review for a company based purely on delivery times and not on how they handled complaint and returns.”

“Absolutely shocking service wouldn't recommend them at all, let you order when item not in stock and have no idea when be in stock but yet still let you pay express delivery and give you a delivery date. But will not inform you there's been a delay and are extremely slow at replying an email a day off even don't waste your time, similar trend in the complaints same thing happening all the time taking your money and not even having the item”

“Firstly I ordered a product of theirs but it turned out to be false advertised which is against trading standards in the first place. Customer service was no help and to be quite frank very rude, abrupt and not willing to fix the issue, definitely not in the right line of work.”

“The laptop I received was faulty and it was desperately needed for working from home - it then took a further 10 days to get refund from Laptops Direct and even then I had to chase them. To add insult to injury they've charged me £10 shipping costs, to receive a faulty item! This should be refunded, what have I paid postage for exactly? Don't take a chance with this company, use someone reputable like AO or John Lewis.”

“Ordered on the 25th of March and we are now 17th of April and item still not arrived. Customer service is not helpful at all and they are selling items that don’t have in stock. They keep changing the date for delivery saying the supplier changed the day, meaning they just dropship and have no stock at all. Avoid at all cost.”

“To start the review I want to point out to real reviews out there: reviews.io have mentioned that laptopsdirect is cherry picking the positive reviews so most of the positive feedbacks are fake. Fraudulent company. I bought about one hundred power supplies 750 Watts EVGA Gold from Laptops Direct. 3 years have passed, seria numbers of them still unconfirmed with Laptops Direct which stops my warranty process. The EVGA manufacturer is telling me only to speak with the place of purchase if goods were not bought directly from them. Currently I have like 20 emails correspondence with whoever is responsible from Laptops Direct. Customer service is not helping me with this problem. They redirect me to main manager and tells me she should reply by the end of today which is not happening. I have asked for this serial numbers like 5 times already. Right now I am sick of this and will be starting court process against this company because they have sold me the product which does not match my purchase.”

“Ordered a gaming laptop for work use and paid for next day delivery nearly 3x weeks ago. The Laptop arrived the next day, all good so far. The next day the laptop wouldn't turn on so Laptops Direct organised for DPD to collect it. 3x weeks later and 4x phone calls later and i've still not got a laptop to use and i'm £950 out of pocket and every phone call i'm told they haven't even booked it onto their system to look at it yet.”
