“Absolutely terrible. Stay clear from buying from this company. I ordered bedroom furniture for my daughters bedroom. I simply cannot believe that a company tells its customers that the products will be delivered at a certain date to its Irish customers and then it doesn’t happen over and over and over again. Crazy the amount of emails and telephone calls I have had with them. Nightmare experience like other people have said below.”

“As others have stated, the experience is fine until there's an issue, then you get fobbed off by customer services, who don't understand the problem. Based on other reviews, many people find Buy It Direct in breach of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. I ordered an oven from them in October 2020. Nine months later, there was an issue, so Hotpoint came out and fixed it. Fast forward another eight months, and there's another issue. They are not interested, tried to fob me off, telling me the warranty had expired and I needed to deal with Hotpoint. I have explained that I am claiming under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and not the warranty. I get the template your contract is with Hotpoint reply, which shows their customer service team is not trained on consumers' legal rights, which is concerning for an online retailer. I'm sure they'll hope I will give up and go away, but I will be taking this to the small claims court and Trading Standards. Go elsewhere if you want any level of customer service. The cheapest isn't always the best - I am learning that the hard way!”

“I brought 2 Electric Scooters from Buy It Direct from their Amazon listings costing £185.05 each and both scooters ended up being faulty and both were returned for a full refund, but this company is now refusing to refund the full amount for them. Even though I paid £185.05 the company is only refunding £149.29 for one of them. I have clearly sent them a bank statement showing how much I paid for each Electric Scooter. This company clearly has very low ethics and scams customers out of money. I know Covid has had a massive impact on some companies but to rip customers off to make their money back is outrageous. This company has breached The Consumer Rights Act 2015 as the item was returned in 30 days and Buy It Direct has refused to refund the full amount of £185.05. I would Advise anyone thinking of buying from this company to think twice, the amount of stress they cause with their poor customer service team isnt worth it. I ended up calling By It Direct and spoke to Anne from there customer service team who offered a £50 good will gesture for all the inconvenience to then be told, Sorry No £50 good will gesture will be given, it seemed like Anne had No idea what she was doing and constantly putting me on hold whilst she was asking for advice on what too do, After telling me multiple things and then going against them, I asked to be put through to a manager, (Managers name Manny) who told me that Anne shouldn't of offered any good will gestures and said he would not honour this. He then was exstreamly rude to me and hung up on me. This just shows that this company has exstreamly poor ethics. I will Never buy anything from this company again and I advise anyone thinking of buying from this company to look elsewhere.”

“Truly terrible service, possibly the most incompetent and frustrating I have ever experienced! Firstly, they failed four times to collect my broken laptop because Buy It Direct kept sending the courier to the wrong house, despite me giving the correct details over a dozen times. Over 40 emails back and forth, never the same person replying, nobody seemed to know what was going on, and a total lack of clear answers. Then I received a phone charge of over £60 from being on the phone with them trying to sort it out, and they charge .14p a minute then keep you on hold for ages. Next, I was told somebody would get back to me within ten days to update me about my laptop repair. After three weeks I had received no news so I emailed them. First I was wrongly told that they had emailed me already. Then someone from the company rang to speak to me, called me the name of my colleague, and when I said they had the wrong name, they hung up straight away before I had a chance to explain. Now they have emailed saying someone will respond in three days to update me. Which means it will be over a month since I first contacted them about the repair, and they still haven't sorted it. I recommend don't by anything from Buy It Direct because if it goes wrong, you'll have nightmare experience!”

“Will never buy from this company again! Please steer clear. Ordered what was advertised as 17" laptop to find out when delivered was a 15". Reported straight away and was picked up next day. 7 days later they have only just looked at the delivery to check and have now informed me to wait anything up to another week for a refund?!! I am now left without the ability to buy another badly needed laptop until my money is returned. Absolute cowboys!”

“Was sold a new galaxy s10e that cannot be updated due to it being a incorrectly modified EU phone, meaning it's several security patches out of date and can never be updated. Awful runaround in trying to resolve it, then a forced return for them to "process options" and a 2 week wait for my money back while they "evaluate".”

“The only reason I gave a 4 instead of a five is the dehumidifier we bought says it holds 10 litres. More like 5 litres but great apart from that.”
