Massive delay, useless customer service, dont take responsibility

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. I placed an order for a van in June/July 2024 and the sales rep advised a September delivery. The van was severely delayed and the customer care team, although friendly, were unable to give me any useful information, they just said they had no information from the supplier The delivery date kept slipping and despite lots of calls I was eventually given a date in March 2025, that slipped for no given reason to April, this then slipped again to May when they organised delivery, then I was told the van was in the country but damaged with some chips and scratches, and it took them until July to repair and deliver the vehicle. I should add all these dates were verbal, never in writing, i imagine so that I couldn't claim a refund of my deposit! During this very frustrating experience I asked for the build sheet to double check that the van was correct before the delivery, the "order date" on the build sheet was December 2024, which would go someway to explain the year it took them to deliver the van. I have asked why this was, then made a formal complaint and so far they have failed to respond adequately to either. So unless they actually have the van and can give you a firm delivery date, use someone else.

Zahid Ali was a huge help

Zahid Ali was a huge help, he listened and came back with what I actually asked for, he gave some options that were from larger deposits to smaller deposits and as I was a director from Ireland and not the UK he was able to find finance options that allowed that, which was great.
Overall a very good experience and I would HIGHLY recommend them1

First class, all the way

From initial enquiry to delivery, a first class service.
Attentive sales personnel got us the best possible deal.
Nothing was too much trouble and turnaround was very efficient.
I would recommend Vans Direct to anyone looking for a new vehicle.

Absolutely amazing service by a chap called Simon. After being let down by 2 major leasing companies, Simon stepped in and delivered exactly what and when he said he would. Quick and couteous responses every step of the way, always kept up to date and a van was supplied super quick at a good price.

I recommend

With a clear conscience, I can recommend VanDirect. After reading the comments below, I was very apprehensive about working with this company, but I decided to give them a chance, and I do not regret it. Matthew and Chloe were very helpful, from choosing a car to its delivery. The car arrived on the scheduled date and time. There was excellent communication with the employees of this company; they respond quickly to messages and are helpful when needed. I RECOMMEND them.

Terrible Experience

Terrible experience. I wouldn't use this company ever again - if you're looking for a smooth and timely delivery. This is definitely not the company for you.

Despite speaking to the person in charge and being given assurances. They were given 9 days to prepare for an AM delivery on a Monday. The majority of the morning went without any update and it took me calling to get any information. Until I was told it will be 2-3pm at 12:22.

Staff were professional throughout, which is the only positive I can share. Fast to take your money. Slow to deliver the van.
Lots of outsourcing and blaming the other company - no one really taking responsibility for any errors/fault. Certainly don't care about how they will impact your business financially by delaying such a delivery, not arriving during the time slot stated.

I would recommend you take your business elsewhere. If you experience the same contact the Car Finance Ombudsman for advice on your situation. Also do a GDPR request so you can have access to the phone calls and personal data held by the company.
