  • Hello

    I've read on here that Trade Appliances are in administration and generally lots of negative feedback. However, has anybody used Appliancesdirect.co.uk (as this was what came up when I put Trade Appliances into Google). Are Appliancesdirect the same company as Trade Appliances? :confused:

    Can anybody recommend where I can buy hob/cooker at discount price?

    Many thanks

    I think that these are the people who have taken over trade appliances, have never used them so cant say if they are any good or not

    have used appliance-world.co.uk and would never use them again..see this thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1119071

    have recently (this week) used http://www.bunnyappliancewarehouse.co.uk/ think they also have a site appliancecity and another but not sure of the name, would reccomend them, cant comment on delivery as I live relativly near so went and collected (they have a small showroom) but woudl definatly use again

    ive used https://www.empiredirect many times and found them to be ok. they will haggle on price/delivery.
    they have stores all over the place.

    and remember, use a credit card for any purchase over 100 quid. esp to online companies that no one has has ever heard of.
    Get some gorm.
  • Trade Appliances did go in to administration due to there own problems. It was taken over by Easy Computers / BuyItDirect Group which runs many other web sites.

    They also own LaptopsDirect.co.uk, DirectTVs.co.uk, AirConDirect.co.uk, AcerDirect.co.uk and more.

    As in my other post, i have purchased from these companies on lots of occasions and have never had any kind of problem with them so it should be a lot better now. They have also been around for about 8 or 9 years and have a huge base in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

    The name has now changed to ApplaincesDirect.co.uk and its has nothing to do with the shoddy outfit that was TradeAppliances.

    I recently had many problems with the *new* company. Delivery promises were ignored with no communication as to why not, goods are not kept in stock and telephone calls are ignored.. Even when I left a message to say I wanted to upgrade my order to something they could deliver in 7 to 14 days, they didn't bother to telephone back.
    This is a company in a serious tail spin into the ground.

    Avoid anything to do with laptopsdirect. There even spamming forums now promoting the companies.

    Just search the forums, youll just find nightmare stories.
