Perfect

Ordered an ASUS laptop power supply which was described as original. Price was very good.

Was concerned having seen reviews after placing the order.

It arrived in just over 1 week with UK plug and was completely as described / expected. It is clearly an original.

Do not order from this company! I very carefully selected the correct replacement for a Lenovo adapter and was sent the wrong part with the wrong connector. I've sent them several e-mails asking for corrective action, but have received no reply. There is no telephone number to make contact. That's £19.00 down the drain.

Scammers - avoid

Tried to cancel within minutes of ordering only to be told it had been shipped. 15 days to be delivered. Asked to return only to be told it would need to be returned to China at a cost of £34! Alternatively they offered a 10% refund and keep the item. Absolute scammers. Avoid at all costs. This business is in China, don't be fooled by the UK URL.

Their products are counterfeit and non-genuine.

Please be aware that they sell counterfeit adapters from China. This seller is fraudulent and I think that the positive reviews are not genuine and have been paid for.

Paid £16.95 for an original Lenovo charger as advertised but received a knock-off one from China. You can easily spot that it is fake. Avoid this seller! When I asked for a refund, this is what the seller Sabrina sent to me:

Dishonest

I ordered a laptop battery with the same model number as the original. I repair laptops for a living so when the wrong battery arrived with a different model number I queried it. I was told that I was wrong?! I sent photos of the original battery which matched the model I ordered and a photo of the battery they sent me which was for an older model of laptop.

They refused to admit their mistake and offered me a 10% discount on another battery! I won't be ordering from them again!

2 adapters for gaming laptop.

Ordered 2 adapters as replacements for my gaming laptop, as they were lost when moving house.
Searching for the correct adapters was easy on the website.
Yes, the items are shipped from China, but the price was good and the contact and shipping details were constantly updated by the company. I received them within the 10 days stated on the website, they were well packaged for protection and work perfectly.

This is not a UK based company

Placed an order for what was advertised as a "genuine" Bose Sound link 3 battery not realising this was not a UK based company, Item arrived from China 2 weeks later. Strangely there was a piece of black tape stuck over the Bose logo on the battery, so it's obviously counterfeit.

It does actually work but I no longer entertain anything that plugs in and charges if it isn't a genuine manufacturer item after an aftermarket Amazon procured laptop charger blew up on me and by the grace of god didn't burn my house down.

Personally I would advise you avoid this outlet as they obviously lie about what they are selling, and aren't up front about their location which makes returns nigh on impossible.

Not as deacribed

It comes from china and can take 2 weeks or more.
The adaptor described as Original Sony on the website when it arrived it is definitely not a Sony adaptor.
I am not sure i can trust this adaptor to be safe.
Beware of what you are ordering here.

Good adapter, good service, slow delivery

I ordered an adapter from this website and whilst waiting for it to arrive read the reviews here, which weren't very positive. I was concerned my item wouldn't arrive, or would not be in the condition described.

However, my item (a 19.5v adapter) arrived as expected in good condition, and has been working (in use daily) for a month now with no issues. Communications with the company were quick and accurate, and I was happy with the service provided.

The only issue I had was with the delivery company they used (Yodel). Yodel's communication was really poor and unreliable, and the parcel arrived several days after they originally told me it would be delivered. I actually didn't mind the longer delivery time, because this item was much cheaper than it would have been from another company, but the information on delivery dates from Yodel kept changing, which was frustrating and confusing.

I wanted to return the item unused and only then discovered that the supplier is based in China, not the UK, so the item has to be returned to the address in China at my own cost since the item was not required. It was not apparent on the website that the purchase is direct from China - the website is a UK domain. Bear this in mind before ordering.

I would give no stars if possible

I would give no stars if possible. I ordered a charger that it said on the website would fit my laptop. It came and the plug did not fit my charging port. \i asked to send it back and they messed me around for a couple of weeks asking for photos, (which I sent 3 times). They kept saying they hadn't received them. Liars. They thn told me I had to send the charger back to China.| They are scammers and have the worst customer service ever. They offered me 10% of my payment and said I could keep the charger and sell it. I have to pay the postage to China and really I am not convinced that they would probably say they didn't receive it. Wish I had never bothered with this appalling company

Avoid this company

Avoid this company – terrible customer service

I tried to return an adapter that didn’t fit my laptop. Instead of a smooth return process, I was bombarded with emails asking for photos of both the adapter they sent and my original one. They sent a long list of instructions just to avoid covering the return postage.

Even after I sent them a picture showing the adapter was unused and in perfect condition, they continued to hassle me. I got so annoyed that I’ve decided to just sell the adapter on eBay instead.

They’ve effectively “won,” but they’ve lost my business. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. I hope they go under—because they clearly don’t care about customer service.

All-round excellence

I needed a mains adapter for my elderly HP laptop. This company's price was half that of the nearest competitor.
I was a bit glum after purchase because the announced likely delivery date was some weeks away; this was unusually bad news, because I believe current trading conditions mean that international deliveries are increasingly widely disrupted.
Happily, the device arrived 11 days after beiing ordered. It fits, and it works.
The speed and quality of their responses to emails has been shatteringly good - they've either got some great people there, or some remarkable AI. or possibly both.
Altogether a very good experience.
