Tony GregoryShould have received the plates a day before I did. But this wasn't down to them, our wonderful postal service the royal fail. The plates and service itself however. Too quality in both counts. Highly recommend.
Abby DevlinExcellent service from start to finish. My first time ordering a private personalised plate. I ordered a 4D Gel plate and it arrived quickly and pristine condition. I then made another order which was the sticky pads as I forgot to add them to my original order.. however doing this, Ray emailed me to confirm I was only ordering pads (as I forgot to add them previously!) and when I confirmed with Ray, he posted the pads out first class so I was able to get them alongside my plates. Amazing service and even better communication. Highly recommend!
Damian DunneGreat quality plates. Easy and quick order process. Super fast delivery. Highly recommend.
B HOrdered 3D Gel plates. Super easy to use website. Lots of choice regarding style of plate, different flag badges, borders, 3D, 4D etc all included in the price whereas other companies were charging more for these extra options. Fantastic price. Great quality and excellent communication from the company. Ray was so helpful, friendly and super quick to reply to my query. when I contacted them.
Chris PashiOrdered a set of 3d gel plates they arrived well packaged reasonably priced. I ordered the wrong reg initially so the guys offered me a discount when I next order .. Well made and fair price also the website offers so much choice in styles etc… well worth a look.
