A few of the testimonials from private individuals who use Leads Direct:


I must thank your staff for not only picking up the phone on a Saturday morning, but also being so incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Let me tell you that is NOT the norm for other retailers I have contacted and requested assistance. Great customer experience - and although I don't buy a great deal of this type of electrical equipment, I now have Leads Direct on my favourites and you will be my first call every time. Many thanks.

Peter Bradley, 14/04/2012

The lead arrived today. it fits! what brilliant service. Thank you to you and your team ( feel free to use any of my comments on your website etc. ). While I am a very small customer, I have received 5 star service.

Isabel Duell, 25/01/2012

Wow! From placing the order, to having the cable in my hand in less than 20 hours! That's pretty darn impressive - great service!

Richard Wickham, 15/07/2010

Thanks for the outstanding service your company provided. From the initial telephone call to Julie and the transfer to Chris for technical  advice, back to Julie to process the order and best of all the super rapid delivery of a first class product.  All in all a thoroughly excellent and professional company to deal with.

I have no hesitation in recommending Leads Direct to anybody who needs cables, connectors leads etc., not to mention advice and very fair business ethic.

Pete Stamp, 03/07/2010

Thanks for the speedy service the cable works like a dream a pleasure doing business with you guys

Craig Rigden, 29/06/2010

Excellent leads.. very pleased.. thank him/her that made them up.. and thank you for good service.

John Green, 08/04/2010

Thanks very much. Very impressive service, I'm sorry I'm just using it for such a small item.

Edward Hibbert, 15/02/2010

Thanks for a super-fast delivery of my custom leads - terrific service.

Peter Wood, 10/02/2010

... I just wanted to say thank you for the service I have received on this my first order with Leads Direct. I have bought leads etc from a number of sources over many years and was delighted when I came across your website. It was great to be able to support a (relatively) local company to myself who offered a good range at extremely competitive prices. For the price, I was delighted with the quality of the products you supplied...

I am delighted. I only wish I needed more items now but I think I will be ok for a while. However, I do know that for anything I need in the future, Leads Direct will be my first choice and I will definitely recommend you to all I know.

I don't know how many people you employ, but WELL DONE to you all.

Simon Baylis, 18/01/2010

Thanks very much for responding to the problem with the lead – I’m completely satisfied and I can’t recommend your company highly enough!

Martin Osborne, 29/11/2009

I would like to thank the gentleman in your sales office who dealt with our order 2 days ago. We were desperate for a next day delivery and the leads were with us by 1pm yesterday lunchtime. Thank you for your efforts - i am sure we would buy from you again.

Adam Langton, Sales & Marketing Administrator, Qudent, 20/11/2009

I recieved my leads early today after ordering from you yesterday by phone. I just wanted to thank you for such an excellent service even though my order was so small. Maybe small but the leads were not everyday common and you were the ones who helped me. The guy I spoke to on the phone was in the warehouse and was so knowledgeable and helpful. This was my second order with you and he helped me then. What a great service you provide, ......... I will be back!

Bruce Winters, 15/10/2009

Received my order today just after lunchtime, excellent service will recomend you, thank you very much.

John Kirkham, 29/07/2009

Thank you for making my lead so quickly. It does exactly what I needed.

David Hitchin, 16/07/2009

Thanks a million you have been so helpful I appreciate your help

Jane Scullion - Respiratory Nurse Consultant, 06/07/2009

Just wanted to say thankyou very much for the exemplary service you provided. Ordered on Monday evening and received the goods on Wednesday morning. Emails and the ability to track my order kept me informed every step of the way.

Simon Dugdale, 22/04/2009

Hi, just a quick note to say thank you for the super speedy delivery and the excellent service. The website was quick and easy to use - As a non techie the "cable finder" was excellent as I had no idea there were so many different SCSI connectors. I felt the price was a little high until I realised how rare these cables are and what others charge for them. Thanks for posting std Royal Mail too, it came through my letterbox while I was out collecting a previously missed parcel! I would have missed the courier. Thanks Again...

Si Pescod, 28/03/2009

I'd like to express my appreciation of your patient and helpful attention to my difficulties. It's not often in today's world that an online seller offers technical assistance to help solve a customer's problem with goods supplied, spending time trying to resolve the issue. Add to this next day replacement of an allegedly faulty lead FOC, when the real reason was the customer's own lack of expertise, and you have service of a very high order indeed. Please feel free to quote my feedback in your Testimonials, if you wish.

Bill Carver, 28/02/2009

The adapters arrived yesterday just as you promised. They fit the bill perfectly. Thanks! I'd send you a photo of the speaker cable no longer sticking annoyingly out of the front of my laptop, but I guess you can imagine that for yourself :-)

Kevin Broadey, 18/02/2009

Over the weekend I have managed to successfully hook up the TOSlink splitter to split the output from my PS3 to feed both the amp and the headphone system. As a result I have to say that I am very pleased – I have exactly the result that I wished for. That is twice that I have had excellent service from Leads Direct. I shall remember you for the future, and recommend you to any of my colleagues that need a connectivity problem solved.

Nic Newey, 13/01/2009

Many thanks for the way LD dealt with my recent order - fast and faultless.

Alec Johns, 12/01/2009

The leads arrived this morning - many thanks for the fastest service I have ever received.

Michael Clayton, 08/7/2008

Just a quick thank you to say that my leads have arrived at 12 noon, less than 24 hrs. after I had placed the order. Thanks for the superb and efficient service.

Tony Bostock, 15/05/2008

I congratulate you on your speed and efficiency most business respond at a snail's pace, especially when my order is for a inexpensive item.

William Glyn Thomas, 08/05/2008

Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent service you provided. I will not hesitate to come back to you for future requirements and/or recomend your services.

Shaun Gannon 14/12/2007

Great service! I am not that much in the UK, but I might be ordering in the future as well when I am over. The service is great!

Ronald van Rossum 24/10/2007

The cable works like a dream, very neat and tidy too! I must admit I am very impressed by your company, speedy and efficient service and very reasonable prices. Your website was incredibly useful too, keep it up!

Mark Challenger 08/09/2007

I would just like to thank you and everybody at Leads Direct for the friendly and efficient way you handled my order and sorted out my problem. The lead is very well made and assembled and I would of course recommend your company to anyone who requires a good product and a nice friendly way of purchasing it. To order it during the afternoon and receive it the following morning is fantastic.

Rod Finnis 04/07/2007

Good service should be recognised. I enquired about this custom made lead last thing on Monday, confirmed the order yesterday, and it arrived here about 9 this morning, and is just what I asked for. You can't do better than that. Thanks,

Will Bond 06/03/2007

just wanted to let you know that the leads work great. The picture quality of the TV is now much better than that when used with the original RCA lead, we can now make out the satellite channel symbol; it was too grainy before... The TV picture is almost as good as it was with Sky+ in the UK.

Many thanks once again, great product, price and pre-sales information.

Paul Stanley 10/04/2007


Thanks very much for your expedient response to my very small order, not a lot, but it got here within 24 hours.

George Wilson 22/12/2006

Thank you very much indeed for your prompt reply. What absolutely fantastic service and - I am very impressed and will certainly recommend this site to others.

Laura Deadman 10/11/2006

First time I have used you. Bought some leads for my PA system they arrived really quick (even the custom made ones) and are excellent quality.

Andrew Lowe 31/08/2006

Many thanks. Items arrived this morning, excellent service. I will recommend you to my friends.

Phil Hawley 21/08/2006

Leads received at 8.15 this morning - only ordered after 3.00pm yesterday. Great service, thanks very much. Regards,

Noel Shone 17/08/2006

People don't comment on good service enough.. they just complain when things don't work. So I'd like to say what great service I've recieved both times I've contacted your company. I had a slightly complicated problem (US equipment, different voltages etc...) which you were able to explain clearly to me, and tell me exactly what I needed to make everything work. I'd spent two days surfing the internet and asking questions to no avail. You guys resolved my problem in 5 minutes. I am only sorry that my ensuing order was so small after all your help. A great service.

Jonathan Duffy 13/6/2006

Many thanks for a superb service, the lead was exactly what I have been searching the usual shops and the internet for, during the past two weeks until I found your web site. Delivery was next day as predicted by your excellent sales staff and I will certainly recommend your products and your made to measure service to my friends and use you again in the future.

David Parker 10/5/2006

I found this site by accident when I was looking for a specific lead but unsure what I needed. I looked for help by email, which, unlike many others companies, came by return. The staff are extremely friendly, and expert. In my latest venture I looked for help on Monday, got it immediately and my high quality cable was with me on Tuesday morning. A first class company with first class service. Many thanks.

Robert Shearer 28/03/2006

Leads received today. I'm really pleased with the service I've received. Your prices are excellent, the lady I spoke to on the phone was amazingly helpful and the goods arrived the next day!!! You just don't get any better than that! I'm really very impressed, I will recommend you to others. Thanks again

Dan McGrath 23/3/2006

All done and dusted and installed. A 12 hour turn round, brilliant. That is what I call service. Many thanks, if you ever want an endorsement, I will gladly give it.

Bill Pawley 08/02/2006

Thanks for a great service. Technically spot on everything works fine and delivery this am. This speaks volumes for your company.

Bernard Powell 10/01/2006

I would just like to say how very impressed I am with your service. Everything was exactly as I asked for and Chris Bray who dealt with the order was outstanding - professional, friendly and helpful. I will certainly use your company again and will recommend you to anyone who asks. Yours sincerely,

Tom Irvine 23 Nov 2005

Thanks Lizzy for incredibly fast service. You must have worked overnight to get this here this morning!

Colin Kostyrka 28/10/2005

I received the leads the next day. May I thank you for your fast and very efficient service. I spoke to two members of your staff before making my selection and found both very helpful and knowledgeable. Many Thanks

Mike Dixon 17/10/2005

Very many thanks ... for the prompt delivery of the special scart lead (and the other leads previously). The TV is now connected to a Freeview box, a VCR and a DVD recorder and all now work without any interference and with the digibox switched off I can copy tapes to DVD and vice versa. Great! Very many thanks for your kind and expert advice - it is a pleasure dealing with you.

Eric Wimbles 10/10/2005

Citylink delivered it about 30 mins ago - installed and working fine!! Previous problems I was having transferring VHS to DV Cam are now history! I will be using Leads Direct in the future!

Dave 3/10/2005

That is truly EXCELLENT service!!!! I didn't call until late on Friday evening - about 4.45 I think it was! I see from Citylink that the part is on it's way to me today! Thanks!

Dave 3/10/2005

I placed an order over the phone on the 6th Sept at 5pm, 10am the following day my order turned up which was a real surprise, as I was told that my order would not turn up until the 8th as I'd missed the last courier deadline delivery for the following day. Brilliantly packaged, 1st class products, 1st class service and a 1st class company!!! Well Done Guys

Russell Butterfield 07/09/2005

Now that's what I call customer service! Thank you I'll be ordering shortly.

Chris Bell 04/08/2005

Thank you very much for an excellent service. My lead has just been delivered and I am very happy with it. I was drawn to your site by its simplicity and clarity. I wanted a lead to extend an ISDN 'phone line through a UPS. It amazed me how many sites simply state something like "1 metre lead with RJ45 connectors" with no information as to which pins are connected or the intended use for that lead. They seem to concentrate on "clever" web site design and forget the original purpose. So, well done to Leads Direct. I don't often need leads but, when I next do, you will be the first people I turn to.

Howard Neil 1/7/2005

I just wanted to send you a very big thank you for such prompt and professional service. I am an Australian that has lived here for 7 years with all my immediate family instead scattered across the globe (Australia, USA and Hong Kong). I bought a Beamer a few weeks ago as my brother (in LA) and mother (in Australia) both already have one, and hence was so excited about having this way of interactive communication which would allow us to feel closer despite the physical distances. So I am sure you can imagine my disappointment when I got back here and I could not get it to work.

The representative form Vialta (supplier of the Beamer) was also extremely helpful, she gave me your details and told me exactly what the problem was, and what I needed to fix it. I had left a message on your answering machine late Thursday night, and first thing on Friday morning, my call had already been returned. By Friday I had the beamer kit leads ordered, and today (Monday) they have arrived (even though I was not expecting them for 3 days as from your website, I anticipated them to be made to order, and hence would take longer).

The gentleman that took my order was friendly, professional and efficient. It is always very refreshing to encounter businesses which actually do what they promise, restoring my faith that “excellent customer service” delivered with a smile – still does exist. Thank you again. I have no hesitation in recommending you in the future. Kind Regards,

Gillian Schofield, 25/4/2005

Just a short note to thank you very much for your very efficient and helpful service. The leads arrived today and I've just got my gear working as I hoped it would. So all round an excellent result within 24 hours. Amazing. We'd never get this service in Guernsey! Thanks again

Gary Machon, 23/2/2005

Fantastic Service will be passing the companies details to all my relatives and friends - you saved me a lot of stress and money !!!

Stuart Johnston 14/12/2004

Thanks to all at Leadsdirect for the perfect combination of advice, price and efficiency of service. Excellent in all respects. Many thanks,

Malcolm Bray, 13/11/2004

You`ve done it to me again!!!!, what are you guys taking, you guys are truely brilliant, I placed an order over the phone for a certain type of velcro cable ties on Wednesday afternoon, as this was a special order, I thought it was going to take a week at least, less than 2 days after I placed my order, my order has been delivered to my door, I was totally gobsmacked.Thank you very much, your service and products are unbeatable.....hands down, others dont even come close.

Russell Butterfield 12/11/2004

I've received the order the day after I placed it, I'd like to say a big thanks for being so efficient, in the past I've used Team Clockwork ... for all my cables and they take about 3 weeks to deliver and never answer the phones or reply to e-mails. In future I will always use Leads Direct. Thanks again!!

Daniel Sykes 29/10/2004

I just wanted to say a massive thank-you for those leads that you sent me. Excellent communication from the beginning and a great service all round. Praise where praise due as they say! Thanks again & take care,

Rob Pell 7/10/2004

... my thoughts about your service are in line with all the others who have left compliments on your site. This is my fourth order with you (if you count this one as two) and I will always use your service whenever I need anything you can supply.

Keith Anderson 30/8/2004

Fantastic service - the order arrived less than 24 hours after I phoned it in, and even before your email! Everything present and correct, and at a lower price than PC World would charge for just one lead!

David Rackham 27/08/2004

Just a quick feedback to say a big thank-you. I thought i`d take a long shot and give you a ring to see if anyone was available for me to purchase a Sony cable. I called at 19:50pm on Saturday 31/07/04 and the guy who answered was very helpful and polite and was happy to take my order. It's good to find a company that works past 5.00pm and with good customer service as well !!! Once again - Well done. I`ll certainly recommend you.

Paul Duxbury 5/08/2004

I wish other companies were like you guys, your service was first class, from the minute I placed the order on the phone right through to the delivery. Your prices and service are the best I have seen anywhere else in the UK. A big thank you and I will be ordering from you guys again, thats for sure.

Russell Butterfield 29/07/2004

An excellent service. I ordered a lead, one that is almost impossible to find in any standard shop, at lunchtime on Monday. It was made to order that day and arrived the next. What more can you ask for. It was also good to have someone on the end of the phone, who knew what they were talking about, to make certain that I and Leads Direct had the correct specifications. 10 out of 10.

J Farrow, Slough, Berkshire 14/1/2004

....received goods 2day just after lunch... excellent service ,would happily recomend to others........:-)

Dave Buttle 29/10/2003

What fantastic service, the lead was with me first thing this morning. Thank you very much. I will certainly use you again in the future. Many Thanks,

Nathan Lock 28/10/2003

The order turned up this morning, and looks to be exactly what I need - though I need to wait unitil I get my Mum's PC to bits before I know for sure :-) Thanks for your customary super-quick service, and for knowing exactly what I was talking about even though I wasn't too sure myself! Until the next time...

Kevin Broadey 24/7/2003

Just a quick note to say thanks for the brilliant service. The lead & switcher box arrived the following day as promised... The unit is now safely in place & works a treat!

Chris Trafford 23/6/2003

Excellent service, good value, answer straight away when I call, even when I would have thought you would be closed, you're there.

David Taylor 27/5/2003

Just a quick note to say thank you for sending the MIDI extenders. They arrived when you said they would. In my recent experience, I have found that "Customer Service" requires several phone calls, letters etc: and immense frustration to get what was agreed. Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity.

Tony Gibson 24/05/2003

Just to let you know, I connected up my speakers with the leads you sent and we watched "Apocalyse Now" with surround sound. It was bloody brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic helicopter effects. A much better buy than a DVD with 1005 free crap films me thinks. Thanks for your help

Paula Sutton 25/03/2003

Brilliant service - very quick and so helpful.

Nigel Tennant 16/3/2003

What an extremely good service. I ordered my leads on Thursday night and they came recorded delivery on Saturday. Thank you for the very prompt service and I WILL be telling all my friends about you.

Martin Eldridge 15/03/2003

I can confirm the order arrived Saturday and I am very pleased with the items. I would like to thank you for the excellent service and the way you handled my requirements (your service was second to none). In fact the service was so good I can't wait till I need some more leads so that I can purchase them through Leads Direct! A truly brilliant service which I will tell my friends about! Seriously!

Barry Brissenden 21/1/2003

I have been very impressed with your customer service, even though my order was very small you give me your full and prompt attention. The leads were great too! Hope your staff have got over the flu and you dont have to run up and down the stairs so much - as you kindly did for my order! P.S. If you have a quality system you can record you exceeded customer requirements in my case.

Chris Lewis 21/1/2003

Thanks, the lead arrived at 8.30 this morning. Wonderful service.

Adrian Ingram 10/1/2003

Many thanks indeed. It arrived as promised, an excellent service all round. In future you'll certainly be my 1st stop for leads & I'd recommend you without hesitation.

Clive Cohen 31/12/2002

What can I say!!! Hero ! Star ! Life saver ! The goods arrived A.M. on saturday, thus allowing a successful recording session. Nice one, i've told my friends about your company! Ta,

Roger Pitt 25/11/2002

Just a quick note to say thanks very much. The leads were delivered the next day and are excellent - Superb Quality! Best Regards,

Gary Page 3/11/2002

Have a look at this site - I used it to buy some gold plated scart leads. Pass on to anyone who you feel may be interested. The customer service is the best I have come across for an website.

Frank Caraglia 25/10/2002

Thank you for your help, the service has been impeccable and definitley worth recommending to others in the future. Regards,

Gary Browne 16/10/2002

Many thanks, have now received goods. For your information I would confirm that the lead did in fact fit and work with my Olympus camera and was less than 25% of the cost of a proprietry item even including post & packing. I will certainly be in touch when I require any more leads etc.

TJ Chilton 2/10/2002

I received the leads this morning (as promised). My son Craig can now use his games console again ! Thanks again for your help and my appreciation for the manner in which you conduct business. Polite..Helpful..and Rapid... Most refreshing ! ! ! !

Lance Bruty 18/9/2002

Bloomin' 'eck - that were quick! Thanks very much - you've excelled yourselves again!

Kevin Broadey 13/9/2002

So all the testimonials on your website were right! Best price by far, Delivery in a flash! and the best all round service I think I have ever had from a mail order firm. Your use of pre-used packaging materials to save the environment was also appreciated, a thing we often do when mailing items to friends and relations but I have not seen this adopted sensibly by business. Very well done!

Robin Hoad 11/9/2002

Leads came back today and they're great - will definitely use you again and recommend you to my friends - very impressive service and quality - you lot are the best - what you do is pretty unique.

Andy Black 7/9/2002

... don't ever be tempted to do an NVQ in Customer Service - you've got it nailed already. When I need new leads you've got the business.

Barry Kingsbeer 27/8/2002

Many thanks! It is a welcome change to have a company that does ‘take care’ of their customers. Thanks for keeping me informed. Be sure I will be recommending you! Cheers

Justin Smith 20/8/2002

Just to confirm, I received that cable on Tuesday, thank you very much. I was very impressed by your speed and efficiency, it was a pleasure to buy from you.

Dima Barsky

Thanks for a great job on the custom leads. Qaulity workmanship, fast return, nothing seems too much trouble to you guys. Very genuine service

David Daine

I must say that I'm impressed!!! The last time I was in the local music store, there was a never ending stream of moans from customers about the inability of the store to supply leads!, and the time people had to wait to get any kind of service. I'll be putting "the word" around.

George Cochrane

Nice one ... leads arrived today. Everything looks cool - I'll spend the day tomorrow re-arranging the studio and installing the new leads....thanks for delivering what you said when you said...it's a pleasure to have that happen!

Chris Snowdon

I just wanted to let you know they arrived and thank you for handling my order. I have to say - your customer service is brilliant...

James Creely

Leads just arrived - very nice - tried them and they work a treat. I think you should have a section on your web site saying that you can make leads for early Quad stuff. There is also another company called I think "naim" they both use strange DIN / Jones types leads, and to buy from that company can cost big time.

Dave Whitter

Just dropping a line to say thanks. Recvd my order this morning, TOP CLASS SERVICE, much appreciated. THANKS,

GROVER.

The leads arrived this a.m. Great quality and working perfectly. I'm impressed with everything, including your special offers. Be assured that the word will be put around. Thank you.

Tony Bushkes

Thanks for all the kind comments, folks!
