“Much easier than I thought”

Written on: 15/05/2013

My wife wanted to buy her first new car after suffering years of bangers. I thought a private plate would be a nice touch. I found this site, entered some suggested numbers and letters and hey presto the suggestions popped up. I chose, sent an email to get a bit of guidance and followed the simple process. It was all very easy; no hidden charges and the plates and paperwork arrived in good time. A one off experience for me but obviously a well trodden path for the platemarket.com: highly...

Written on: 02/05/2013 by Mike922James (1 review written)

My daughter bought me private plates as a birthday present for me and my new jeep, She ordered the wrong ones, they sorted that out immediately, I then re-ordered the wrong size (rear plate),they sorted that out, she must have realised she was dealing with a family that were not car/paperwork friendly because she then sorted everything out for me, even dealing directly with the DVLA sorting out the legalities(an experience in its own right). First class service, first class communication and... (read more)

Bought the plates off them too, great quality with the requested logo and format, overall I would recommend the plate market to anyone, cheaper than most especially elite, who in my opinion are expensive , they wanted £150 more for the same plate.

“Penalties !”

Written on: 15/03/2013 by eeny44 (1 review written)

I picked this company after Googling the number I wanted. I paid by credit card but within 2 hours I had a call to say I couldn't have the number on the car I wanted as it was age related. OK, my fault for being a bit dozy but when I said I would cancel the order, I was informed it would cost me £65 in cancellation fees ! I think this is a completely outrageous amount and while I admit I made a mistake, nothing had been done to warrant any charge. I didn't want to pay this 'fine' and so... (read more)

I purchased a private number plate for my fiancé and i was pleased as i had checked on many oyher websites but this one offered the lowest price. I received the plates in superb coniditon. However, after purchasing the plate I was not sent any sort of confirmation through email to state that i had bought the plate. This was very worrying at the time as i thought what if my money had been taken (a large amount of money too) and i would not receive anything - obviously i received the plate in... (read more)

Theplatemarket's Response to Hinnah1992's Review

Written on: 28/02/2013

Hi Hinnah.
Thank you for your comments - we appreciate them.
I do recall speaking to you about your order. 2 confirmation emails were sent to you - one was an automated email and the other was sent when your order was processed on 13th February. As per our conversation, I cannot explain why these emails did not arrive. I can only think that they perhaps landed in a junk folder.
Having received your email query, I telephoned you to confirm your order on the phone.
I have also checked your original order details, to see if we missed the alternative shipping address. However, both the addresses you entered when you placed your order online are the same. No alternative shipping address was entered.

I am sorry that your experience with us what not as smooth as we'd like. But I hope your fiancé was happy with his gift, and that he enjoys it for many years to come.

regards
Karen :)
