Anyone used these before? Read a few good things about them so put an order in on 22nd Feb, advertises next day delivery so was expecting them before the weekend.

As of today Ive had nothing turn up, they are not responding to emails and the phone just rings and rings with no answer.

The fact the website looks like a total POS isn't exactly inspiring confidence.

Anyone used them lately and had an order delivered?

Used them several times in the past and had no issues at all.

I wouldn't start worrying just yet

How were they sent? Standard 1st class? Could they have got lost in the post?

Judging by this old thread on PH seems they have been slow to respond in the past. However, quite clearly their next day service; isnt....

OK thanks will hang tight a bit longer then.

Almost looks like they set the website up in 1997, went out of business but left it up!

it's prob next day for the Island of Ireland only

Fair play.

The only other thing is on the transaction confirmation receipt email it states:

This confirmation only indicates that your transaction has been processed successfully. It does not indicate that your order has been accepted.

Like I said will sit tight for a few more days.

I used them years ago and they did a great job, however needed to re-order a custom plate last year and couldn't get a response via email, website or telephone(+353 (0) 71-9300817)

So I didnt risk it.

Just found this: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/NI056901/filing-history

Are you sure it's the same company?

If so then I guess that answers your question.

e: And yep, that website is shocking. Out of interest, why wouldn't you use Demon Plates?

soundb0y · 1 Mar 2017 at 14:39

So of course they have just turned up. Look fine from a quick glance.

They turned up even thought he company looks to technically not exist anymore? lol

They're based in the ROI to get around our plate laws why would they be filling accounts with Companies house in the UK?

You make a fine point.

tweedbean · 1 Mar 2017 at 17:03

Great news, a shame they don't answer the phone or their emails

Sorry wasn't overly clear, was making a joke based on the look of their website. Didn't actually think that hey had stopped trading.

Guessing that's why I never had to send them a copy of the new v5 then? And why there's no text underneath?

You can just order a uk 'show plate' to achieve the same

That's how I got my incredibly illegal child killing numberplate

soundb0y · 1 Mar 2017 at 17:46

Dam now I feel a bit vanilla, maybe I need something more child killerish instead then, would pressed metal plates fit the description?

Will Gill · 1 Mar 2017 at 17:48

oh I never went that far, just altered one letter space, passed every MOT I've ever submitted it for on various different cars

Hardly murder one

Blackhawk47 · 2 Mar 2017 at 18:29

Is a illegal number plate a MOT failure now?

Honestly I don't even know.
