Wanted a Christmas pressie for the Wife..........so I contacted National Numbers for a particular plate advertised. Was told they'd contact the seller and come back to me. Few days later hadn't heard anything so chased up the salesman. Was then told the seller hadn't come back to them and salesman guiding me to choose something else as the plate was probably 'dead'. Agreed and paid a deposit for a different plate there and then on the phone within 20 mins or so. Received emails by National Numbers, was told to print off and return with a cheque/V5 documentation. Few days later I called to see how things were progressing. They'd received documentation, though as I'd paid by cheque it adds 10 days to the process so wouldn't get official documentation till December 28/29 or something !!!! I called and had a bit of complain here and explained they'd known I wanted it as a Christmas present. The salesman agreed to get the plates out to me, though said can't put them on till received documentation. One final gripe, I gave clear verbal instructions over the phone I wanted no 'markings' on the numbers plates (wanted them as blank as possible)......the plates arrived with large National Numbers logo across the bottom.......contacted them and was told it's extra to have it 'in hidden writing' (is the best description I can use)......needless to say, I hadn't been told that/given that option during the sale process. Ultimately, whether it was cos the December rush for Christmas orders or not, I don't know, though I found the comms side poor (i.e. I did all the chasing, no e-mails replied to (I sent two emails originally didn't get replies so resorted to phone calls, was told I'd get phone calls back, though didn't get them etc.). In fairness, when I received the final documentation (December 28/29) I asked a question and did receive a responsive reply from the 'admin team', shame the sale process wasn't as well communicated. As mentioned, could've been cos of Christmas they were busy, though ultimately buying a number plate isn't particularly complex or difficult (well to me it doesn't seem).....so in summary, I would deal with National Numbers again as I got the product I wanted, though I would recommend you are firm on communication process.
Excellent and very very fast service. 5 days from start to finish and that's with National Numbers doing the transfer and making the new plates. 100% brilliant. Thanks guys.

All went well especially as I was a complete novice. The only comment I would make is that a little more communication to keep me informed of progress would have been nice. I would use them again and I would recommend them.
