Very good: Sell products suitable with continental wall plugs, offer products (X10) hard too find in France, shipment time relatively fast. To improve: prices (at least for X10 products) high, shipme... See more

A very reliable company. After many purchases of X10 kit over the years, I cannot find any fault with the service they provide. As they deal with electronic equipment sometimes things don’t go accordi... See more

Customer service needs improvement..

I bought Vemmio Motion Mini and it turns out when I received the product they gave me the wrong item. I asked for assistance on their customer service but they were slow in assisting me on my problem.

X10 material available on this site…

X10 material available on this site although increasingly rare in Europe.
Order-compliant delivery, no nasty surprises
No follow-up, but delivery in about 10 days
If you're looking for X10 hardware, you'll find it at UK Automation

Very disappointing

Order dispatched 3 weeks ago and still not arrived. No response to emails and their phone number always goes to voicemail. A shame as I've ordered many times over the years and always had really good customer service - but either they've gone on holiday or gone out of business and are still taking peoples money for as long as they can.

The speediest service ever, and a fair price!

Ordered 5off door/widow sensors of one evening and they arrived two days later. Brilliant service.
The price of these sensors were extremely fair, as they are a basic contact sensor only: i.e. no extra function of temperature, etc.
In all, a very happy customer that will certainly be looking to purchase again.
Thank you

Zero communication/service

Placed an order. Payment taken. Director emailed to ask if I wished to ask anything or how they could improve service.
Still awaiting a delivery date. Order hasn’t even been sent yet or told if it’s out of stock. No reply from directors personal message.

Order placed 2/6/2020
Writing this on the 9/6/2020

Wouldn’t mind if we had received a single piece of correspondence, instead of taking the money and running.

Order not delivered - not responding

I ordered a tkb switch. I was was emailed that this product was shipped on 14 Jan 2020. Has not been delivered. I have sent several emails and left a Tel message - there is only an answerphone available - No response. It seems they may have gone out of business, so I strongly recommend do not use

Seeing a similar experience written on…

Seeing a similar experience written on here, I thought best to advise others to keep well clear of. I ordered a single garage door opener last summer, no issues, great product. Ordered another double door opener on 3rd January this year, cannot get in touch with them either via mailed messages and their contact tel number is on an answer phone service. They have of course taken the money. Watch out for UK mainland deliveries as seemingly Aberdeen is not mainland U!!!!!!!!!!, extra £18 for delivery yet big bold letters state FREE DELIVERY ON ORDERS OVER £150. Good to hear if others have similar experience and have they managed to resolve or even get some information.

Order not arrived, no response

In the past they've been fine, but my recent experience is that my order didn't arrive and they have ignored my emails. I can't get through on the phone. I wonder if they are still trading - a pity if not.

Terrible returns process - no refund, no replacement, no hope!

I have ordered several items from this company, everything was great until one of the items was faulty and I had to return it. I haven't heard anything since Royal Mail confirmed they had delivered the return, which was in April - so I'm out £100 and nobody at UK Automation seems to care (I've tried contacting via email and their website to no avail). I'm not planning to buy any more products from them and I recommend you don't either as they have completely lost my trust.
