Spares Direct Anmeldelser 

- My Washing machine had ripped the seal
- Contacted spares Direct
- A well-spoken lady answered the phone ordered part via debit card.
- Waited for several days, no ARRIVAL OF PRODUCT
- Contacted them again lady said she was outside and opening shop.
- In the meantime, I checked trust pilot reviews of this company and they were all very poor.
- That was enough when she rang back she gave me the story of misdirecting my product and sending the item to the wrong address and forwarding a product to me which was meant for another customer.
- Her argument did not add up as I had not received the product from the other customer.
- I SENSED SHE WAS Misleading me
- Then she offered to reorder it for me, I said "No thanks" Trust pilot reviews said it all and that was enough, no more amateurish methods in dealing with me.
- I immediately asked for a refund they kept me waiting for a week a washing machine full of dirty clothes and she wanted to start the process from scratch.
- I then went to Hotpoint direct who were offering the same product for £37.99 I told them Spares Direct were doing it for £23.99. Hotpoint then checked their website and came back to me and matched, sorry beat Spares Direct Price and sold it me for £22.00
- Do not deal with Spares Direct unless you want my experience.

Ordered a part on Sunday (website said 3-5 days delivery) Booked in someone to fit part the following Saturday (6 days after order date). Tried calling on day 4 to ask when it would arrive. Didn't sound professional on the phone. was told I would be called back. The following lunchtime, still no call, phoned again. Told that they didn't even have the part in stock! I said that on the website it said in stock for same day dispatch, she argued that it was in stock it just wasn't with them yet to send out....that's out of stock then!

Would certainly not recommend!

I order a part for a Fisher&Paykel dishwasher from the website. I payed the part. Then it arrive a mail that the part is no longer available for that price and they will refund the price.
If i like I shout buy the part again with the new price. The refund comes (positive). So i order the part with the new price on the 30 march.
On the 4 April comes a mail with "you order is shipped" cool.
23 April i ask where it is? The 24 April comes an email with stock problems and that Sparesdirect refunding the order.
So now i wait for the money....good i payed with paybal.
In the meantime i ordered the part on an other shop. From order to delivery 3 days....
Don´t order at Sparesdirect

I ordered a part that their web site said was in stock around lunchtime on a Monday. I soon got an email saying "processing order".
Thursday I chased and was told it had not been shipped yet but would be today. I asked for it to be shipped first class given their delay but they said that would cost me more. I declined to pay more.

Conclusion: if I wanted a spare quickly I would go elsewhere.

Ordered for few spares for Whirlpool fridge on 13th October, its 2nd of November today, no delivery has taken place till now. Pathetic service. No communication as such. Originally delivery had to take place in 3~5 days, believe they have gone to hibernation mode! complete rip-off. Stay away if you want the spares for sure in a timeframe.

I ordered a part from them using the serial number and they sent a different part which they claimed was a direct replacement (despite it clearly not being the same part). They then asked me to return the part at my own expense and claimed I'd sent it to an address which was a year out of date (I got the address from their website). Despite promising me they'd investigate, I never heard anything back. Here is our email exchange:

I'm never going to get a refund of the money I gave you for the wrong part you sent me (18.85) and my postage in sending it back to you (5.20) am I?

Hi

For your information, I ordered part 41017885 on friday from hooverspares. It arrived today and fitted perfectly so you have been mis-informed that 41024466 is a direct replacement. Just thought you'd like to know.

Hello
Yes, that was changed more than a year ago - I wonder how you found an old page. However, we may be able to retrieve the part, or it may be returned to you. I will make enquiries.
Kind Regards

As you can see the teeth are worn but it clearly has a diameter of ~1.5cm.
Here is a picture of the part you sent me (41024466:

Which clearly has a diameter of ~2cm.
I'm not a fan of hand-washing and would appreciate a speedy response, thanks.

The outer diameter of the pulley is the same but the inner diameter (the hole with the teeth) is larger on the replacement part.

hooverspares.co.uk show the parts as different ... here and here. [links]

Hello
Yes, it is a different part number, but it should be the same part - the number was changed at some point. The item should be suitable?

I received Order ID 2514 yesterday thanks, unfortunately it contained the wrong part - you sent me Part no. 41024466, when I'd ordered 41017885.

What is the best way to proceed?

Thanks
