Don’t waste your time or money with this lot . Probably driving around in their Mercedes today laughing at your expense. Wrong lights delivered, returned for an exchange, recorded delivery. Have proof that item was signed for from post office . Tried to contact them but nothing. Asked for a full refund but nothing .

This so called company must have made fortune taking people's money, with no intention of delivering any items .. There should be an investigation by the police to find out who these people are, basically they are fraudsters and will continue getting away with this scam if nothing is done.

I’ve just ordered Christmas lights and received an email in my junk confirming my order. When I’ve gone on to track my order they are asking me to pay customs before it can be dispatched. I’m worried this is a scam!

Paid extra for express postage of item not received. Provided me with a tracking number that says the item is still with the sender!!! Absolute rubbish do not use!!! AVOID THIS SELLER AT ALL COST!!!

Xmas lights orderered 30 Nov - system showed in stock 5% first time discount could not be applied ? Paid extra for 1-2 working day delivery No email confirmation of order and as of 12 Dec no product delivered Numerous emails / texts / voice messages sent to SM but absolutely zero response Only got through once to the SM tel number and was told the lights were on back-order (hiow can they be when they are showing as in stock?) but was told all lights had now been packed up and sent out 1st class - so should have arrived 9 Dec latest ... but guess what, we are still waiting Would recommend no one uses this company - they should be zero stars! I'm not holding out any hope here, but if goods don't arrive by tomorrow 13 Dec, I will be taking steps through my bank to recover my money and will also be reporting the company to Trading Standards

I ordered for the first time from this company. Placed order for premier 720 led bright rainbow Christmas cluster lights. Ordered Saturday and arrived today (wednesday). I'm happy!. Lights are pretty and as described. Thanks for a great service.

Wish I hadn’t bothered to order from this company. I ordered outdoor lights for Christmas 12 days ago and have heard nothing back from my email and voicemails chasing my order. Wanted the lights up last weekend but looks like they won’t be up this weekend either. Just no reply from any phone calls and emails. Would definitely not order from this site. Sorry SM Direct do better! Still waiting…

I have had a terrible experience with this company. I can't get a refund for the wrong item sent and then returned at a postage cost to me. Nearly two months later and nothing. They just don't respond to a procession emails. I would suggest that you avoid this company like the plague.

Having placed an order before reading reviews I was very sceptical if my order would turn up. Very happy as my order came within the delivery time and well packaged. Would I use this company again,not sure as there are more bad reviews than good

I TRIED TO CONTACT THEM NUMEROUS TIMES BUT GOT NO REPLY WHATSOEVER AND HAVE HAD TO RAISE A DISPUTE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. TERRIBLE RUDE OWNER RUNING A SCAM WEBSITE WHO SHOULD BE PROSECUTED

Ordered 8 laundry baskets which were an absolute bargain even with delivery, put the faster delivery, then I read the reviews from the site and thought oh no this doesn't look hope at all, but all 8 arrived bang on time, no issues at all. Couldnt be happier as only going to be used for skeleton cages for Halloween and didn't want to spend a fortune.

I never bother writing reviews usually but I felt the need to warn people not to buy from this company. I ordered from then I never had any correspondence about my order. The items never arrived after trying several times to contact them to no avail I've given up!!! Lesson learned... Read the reviews first!!!!
