2nd occasion I used this company, great range of remotes and swift delivery which is impressive given there sent from France. Highly recommended.

Appalling!
I have contacted them numerous times to say no matter how many times, we've tried to connect the two zappers we bought (even after they hadn't arrived for weeks) they didn't work. Have I heard anything back? Absolutely NOTHING! Soooo frustrating, I even called and the phone went dead after a few minutes...
Order n°4305139.

I ordered two remotes on line on a Friday and had no delivery charge from France to Ireland. The package arrived by post the following Thursday. I opened the package, followed the instructions and had both both remotes programmed within minutes.

Remotes worked as expected
Remotes worked as expected. Had to program using the receiver rather than the existing remotes but not a problem.

A Company operating from FRANCE not UK
A company operating from FRANCE
Remotecontrol-express.co.uk. UK phone number is given. I thought I was dealing with a Uk company
I called the number 3 times each time a broken english spoken person answered asking me to try again in hope an english speaking person would pick up? I gave up and sent e-mail. Then communication was good
It claims 24/48 delivery
As this is a French company orders must clear customs, it took 4 days for delivery
Could not get remotes to work so had to return.
Beware of postage costs as RCE want tracking number unnecassary extra cost to customer, so to return 2 remotes costing £40 cost £10.95 to return.
Expensive exercise, Returned Friday so still waiting refund
