We specialize only in remote controls development, selling and repairs. Serving the whole of Europe since 2009. ....................................................................... Unusual atypical remotes are easy for us!! Seriously, we can create any remote control for every device, with the same functions and the same button names as original RC! .............................................................................. Thousands models of brand original remote controls in our stock. .................................................................................. We only want positive reviews and we will do everything for that. If you are not satisfied with our product, please give us a chance to solve the problem before giving us a bad rating. As manufacturers, unlike resellers, we can analyze the problem, reprogram the product, or recommend another model/type (exchange is free!). Please understand that the development and production of a compatible replacement part is much more demanding than an easy "buy-sell" business model. A replacement remote control must not only be of high quality but, most importantly, must be COMPATIBLE with the product. If your remote control is not working, it is usually because it is a wrong incomatible type, not because it is defective. ................................................................................... Do not hesitate to contact us anytime on orders@remote-control-world.eu. We answer within 24 hours. If you need an immediate answer ask our experienced technician (no chat bot) in the online chat on our website 9 a.m - 9 p.m. .............................................................................. Pls note: on Mondays we are more busy (we deal with inquiries from the weekend) and we are not able to answer emails within 24 hours as usual. It's better to ask on the online chat on Monday if you can't wait.

Dear customer,

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and the delayed communication. We are currently at the peak of our season and facing a high volume of inquiries, which slowed down our response time.
As the manufacturer, we are in a unique position to always find the right technical solution for our customers. We believe that a simple refund doesn't solve your problem, as you still need a functional product. Therefore, we have already dispatched a new, fully compatible remote control via UPS Express air shipping to avoid any further delays.

To ensure the fastest communication moving forward, we highly recommend replying directly to our latest email. Direct email replies are prioritized by our system, allowing us to help you immediately if anything else is needed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I ordered a remote control from VAT : perfect !

I ordered a remote control from VAT two weeks ago, and I just received it. I’m already using it, and it works like a charm! Not only does this remote control clone cost at least three times less than the Philips replacement remote, but it’s also better designed than the original, which is going to end up at the bottom of a drawer.
One more thing: since my order hadn’t arrived after a week (I’d chosen the standard shipping option via the Post Office), I contacted VAT via live chat, and the response was immediate and satisfactory. To be honest, if someone I know has a problem with their remote control, I’ll recommend VAT without hesitation for their professionalism and the quality of the products they sell at an unbeatable price!

I ordered a replacement TV remote

I ordered a replacement TV remote. The product image did not correspond to the product delivered. I didn't receive any confirmation e-mail on purchase or order number. I attempted to resolve the issue via email (no response), phone (no answer). I engaged with the customer service on the site who kept telling me I ordered what I received even though the price and product imagery didnt correspond. They want me to return the product and bear the costs of postage and won't admit fault. AVOID

excellent service

I ordered a remote preprogrammed for my Outlaw 950. I live in the United States and expected it to be expensive and slow to ship from Europe, but it arrived very promptly and without too much hassle. I later contacted the company to see how I could program another device to the remote - a service they charge for it you ask for it upon order - and they promptly provided instructions and the program I needed for how to do that for free. I offered to pay, but they graciously declined. Throughout this whole process they were extremely polite and helpful. I am very pleased.

Fantastic company

Fantastic company. Although not in the UK I was looking for a remote for a Harman Kardon system. These are very hard to find. Found one with these people, ordered it & it came 2 days later via UPS. I'm pretty sure they're in Europe but it was no hassle at all. 5* service & highly recommended. Many thanks.

I ordered a Yamaha RAV364 remote control, but the company sent a different model instead because they apparently did not have the correct one in stock. Instead of informing me beforehand, they simply shipped whatever they had available.

Now I have to return the item and wait again for a replacement. Customer support responds, but this situation should not have happened in the first place.

Very disappointing experience.

Excellent platform for tech things

This is an excellent platform for niche electronics. I ordered a specific stylus for my Sony vinyl player and was pleased to receive the exact Japanese-made model I was looking for. The item was packaged securely and delivered right on schedule. Highly recommended for their reliability and quality.

Ordering was so simple. Being able to track it through the whole journey again was so simple. It took about 12 day to Canada I find that incredible in itself.

Remote Control reasonably priced, easily suited for the TV

Here it is easy to find a Remote Control that is suitable for an old TV set. I liked that experiance. The remote is working well. The buttons are a bit loose, but I accept that as a trade-off for the price. There is no "settings" button that was available on the original though...
