Placing my order with Appliances Direct was straight forward and its communication was good. Acknowledgement of receipt of order and of transfer of my appliance to its installer was very prompt. However, Appliances Direct sub-contracts the installation to a separate company. On receiving my appliance during the first week in December2024, the installation company told me they were fully booked until next year and could not even give an assurance that they would be able to install my appliance during January2025. When I told Appliances Direct that this was totally unsatisfactory and to cancel my order and refund my money they agreed to this without any aggravation and my money returned to my account in three working days. I would recommend purchasing from Appliances Direct for delivery to your address but not to include installation as part of the package. Employ a local qualified tradesman to do the installation.
