Ordered on line which was easy enough then when paying decided to go for next day delivery and paid the extra. When the plates did not turn up tried contacting showplate direct 7 times with absolutely no response. All I wanted to know was when my plates would actually be delivered. I had been given a tracking number which was for Royal Mail only to find that they were waiting for the package. I eventually got my plates but asked for the next day delivery cost to be refunded or I will mention in a review, it was only then that I started getting replies from them So IF you do use then don’t expect any communication from them if things go wrong or simply want and update you will get no response until you have to threaten with a bad review. CUSTOMER SERVICE none existent be warned

I ordered a front and rear plate but both were damaged when they arrived and they looked like they have been dropped on the edges. I contacted Showplates direct and enclosed pictures of the faulty goods but they have just ignored my messages. Clearly customer satisfaction is not their strong point.

I needed road legal number plate. i've chosen LEGAL PLATE BUILDER and within this builder i've selected one of available sizes. But this crappy plate builder built NON LEGAL PLATE NUMBER. Absolutely no information its not legal when top of the page shows its road legal. when I requested refund as I received non legal plate number I was totally ignored. absolutely no support after sale. I would say avoid unless you want a crappy number plate which can be used during shows only. better go to Halfords and get one done in 5 minutes, same price and better quality

Sent my plates but with a error in the font colour of the 3D - the grey was really light. I've bought before without any problems so tried to go back to the company to give them the opportunity to rectify the issue, now you realise why there is no phone number or address, simply an email address, I was and continue to be completely ignored. I've started using gbshowplates now and they seem to be much more trust worthy.

Do not trust this bunch, they will take your money and ignore you, without question the worst service you will ever find, from four plus orders only one has ever been correct, but the last of them didnt even arrive, then dispite my emails, no response, just stole my money, if they are really that desparate for £27, if they would have asked I would have loaned it to them.....

Ordered UK numberplates with next day delivery. Item never arrived. Company address does not exist (try typing the Isle of Man postcode into Google Maps) and no phone number. Absolute zero correspondence. AVOID!!!

Ordered a set of plates and received confirmation of my order. When the plates arrived they were uk legal ones and not the show ones I had ordered. I contacted the company who sent me a couple of replies but have since stopped. No phone number to contact them on which is a bit of a surprise.

This company sent the wrong plates to us. Then told us they would discount £10 on new plates which they didn't do. I would not recommend this company and I wouldn't have re ordered them, my husband did. When we originally ordered the plates we sent an email to this company with our correct number plate details on it, which was never responded to. This company have now charged us twice for number plates.

Easy to order and design the plates. They arrived next day and I was delighted with the quality and the price. Top company. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Brian. Vale of Glamorgan

I purchased a set of plates from this site, i was stupid as i should have known by the name SHOWPLATESDIRECT.COM meaning for show not for road use, Failed my MOT and a complete inconvenience, when discussing with my MOT officer he said there is a loophole and thats why they are made in IRELAND, if you see that they are manufactured there steer clear, There not authorized DVLA registered, £28 down the swannie! Do not buy off these guys.....

No ..... they say they're in Ireland. It is illegal to make and supply illegal number plates in the UK so this outfit and others like them (platesforcars.co.uk) pretend to be in Ireland but are not. They set up a bogus mail address in Ireland at a virtual office and then proceed to deceive people. They're simply running scared of the authorities.
If they do not state a correct and proper UK phone number on their web site then stay very well clear of them as you will be ripped off!!!
