Very friendly & helpful staff made getting my private plate as easy as 123. Thank you
I gave a rubbish review of this company as I was extremely dissatisfied but thought nothing would happen. I received a call from the Managing Director the next day & it was sorted by the end of the same day! Reviews can be powerful & get the right outcome. The MD restored my faith in the company & I would use them again. Thanks
National Regestration contacted me with a better quote for my reg which I had a offer for and I said I would go with them if they could garentee a quick turn around Craige said 5-7 working days they had a deposit and there would be no problem 5 weeks later they sent my documents back with out an apology keeping the deposit from the would be client for there selfs and loosing me my original sale. I have now got to contact dvla to put plate on retention then re advertise. Thanks national numbers
Approached many other number plate resellers and they all quoted me between £400 and £500 for my plate. National Numbers quoted three times that but explained it might take a while to sell at that price. I was prepared to wait and have just received £1200 (having accepted an offer). The process was completely painless, stunningly fast (with an immediate bank transfer) and I had a real, helpful person at National Numbers to speak to throughout. Would recommend them to every seller.
I have purchased plates before , bu not through this company and not through auction. It was a completely successful and painless experience. Thank you Marty and colleagues.
Thesis the first time I've acquired a number plate via auction. The whole team made it so easy.
I was approached by National Numbers stating they had a buyer for my cherished plate. Having been somewhat sceptical, they have actually delivered and funds arrived in my account today. Great service and 100% genuine. The team kept me informed and tge process was very easy. Would definitely recommend.
