SIA Reviews 

Had a week doing the course with Shaun and Alister and had a great experience, learnt a lot and now ready for the security industry

I bought a warming tray from SIA. This appliance stopped working after a month. Every time it was turned on it flipped the board. I have contacted the customer support and they have been very unhelpful.
Two certified electricians have said the appliance is faulty and that it was fitted in accordance with the instructions provided with the appliance.
Please do not use them

I ordered my chest freezer direct from Sia as it was actually cheaper than everywhere else, even THAT much used online place we all have as our “go to” I was very impressed with how quickly it was delivered and have no complaints about my choice - I bought it solely for dog food, and thought it would be too small for anything else (this was my preference as I looked exclusively for slimline chest freezers) but this holds a lot and has enabled me to order more dog food (it’s on offer at the moment) that will save me running out for the next 2 months! The fact that it was free delivery and I was communicated with at every stage of the process was a bonus and I’ll be looking here first next time I need a new appliance.

Went to the Red Lion in Helston for Flora Day on May 8th and was impressed with the doorman J Rankin Badge No.: 1016 2405 8318 5606. I was on the door for some years and liked his calm and wellcoming nature. Give him a thumbs up

Absolute joke!!!

i took the course in december 2025, and the course was post poned for a month! finally got back to it and received my results and certificates on the 6th february it is now May2026 and i have not even got an email or nothing back . ridiculous .. so if anyone wonders how long it takes, it takes the piss, that what it takes

Very bad customer service I don’t know how they doing business on Amazon with this quality . They given me used fridge with too much dents and damages and now tell me to deliver the fridge my own .they are just scammers who exist in Uk .

If I could rate these cowboys zero I would.

Within 5 weeks of use one of a dishwasher bought from SIA the main body door seals came away. We reported the issue but were sent two videos of how to repair this ourselves with a screwdriver by taking the main metal door seal off.

We reported that we were not comfortable doing this and requested a collection and refund.

Since then SIA stalled any resolution actions by continuing to ask for information they already hold and ignoring our requests.

Amazon Customer Services have been ABSOLUTELY AWFUL, just adding frustration to the issue and a lot of wasted time. POINTLESS!

We had to pay to courier this heap of junk back to these cowboys and Amazon had to refund our courier costs via a gift card.

DO NOT BUY THIS TERRIBLE PRODUCT OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT FROM SIA.

They are absolutely awful!

You have been forewarned!

Disgusting customer service 5 months after buying a washing machine they want me to pay £119 callout charge telling me they don’t believe there’s a problem with the machine I am going to donate the machine to charity and buy a replacement with a well known brand I can trust I only bought this brand as I didn’t have the money at the time to buy a decent one so DO NOT WASTE your hard earned cash on poor quality products from this disgusting company

A mixed experience. My purchase in 2025 was with 60 cm Curved glass Cooker Hood in stainless steel. The sheet metal rattles so much, you hear it when you sneeze! Things don't fit together well. If chimney is collapsed to it shortest length, this will add strength and reduced the rattle. The longer it is, the more it rattles. Alignment of holes and the chimney is poor too. The cooker hood has integrated support brackets which are not perfectly aligned. Problems arise when you try to screw things together and aim for a vertical chimney stack. Be prepared to spend a lot of time drilling in sheet stainless steel and position on wall using trial and error. I'm still working on mine in April 2026. The cooker hood might look horizontal but the chimney stack looks wonky. Next job is to shorten the stack and re-bracket to the wall to get a neater and quieter result. Next: The chimney stack rattles on top the hood itself - because holes need to lign up and capable of being screwed together, plus one other feature that is lacking - plastic gater. My friends SIA cooker hood is powder-coated black and has multi-coloured switched lighting with extra button, has important black plastic gater that sits inside the hood and takes up slack into which the chimney stack sits - snug fit, not rattles. The powder coating will help prevent rattles too and there is no problem with hole alignment because it is built different. You would expect the two Cooker hoods to be build the same because they look the same reason I purchased mine. Buy the black coated version and avoid the stainless steel version.

Great price and incredible quick delivery

Had a SIA Tall Larder Fridge for about 7 months from brand new, when one evening when i opened it the door fell off and missed my foot by less than an inch! And believe me, it's a heavy door. Had to tape the whole thing up until i could get some support from SIA. Which never came.

I wrote to them three times through their website. Nothing. I called the company directly (use the SIA Appliances website, not the pointless Ship It Appliance one) and the lady there advised that hinges and brackets don't fall under the scope of what's covered under warranty (?!) and then said she couldn't find any trace of my emails (of course not, eh) so she took my address and said she'd email right back so i could reply with pics of the issue. She didn't email me.

We bodged the fridge door. Had no choice in a house of six people. So it's kind of working at the moment. But for how long? We spent a week trying to get someone from SIA to advise us what to do. But no one stepped up. Everyone simply hid themselves away.

Terrible after sales. Really appalling service. Never again SIA. Never again. Anyone reading this: you have been warned.

Our two burner gas hobs look amazing in our new kitchen. Easy to fit, and work perfectly. Very reasonable prices too.

I bought a 5 ring electric hob from Ship It Appliances last July for a rental property but in February the tenants reported it was blowing all the fuses in the house everytime it was turned on. I had an electrician check it who said it was the appliance that was definitely faulty so he removed it immediately. I, thinking as it was under warranty still, it would be replaced without argument. However, after reporting it to customer services, they have done everything in their power to blame the installation of the hob being the problem and not the hob itself!! They have told me to re-install the hob and then they will send a 3rd party engineer to look at it but if it is found to be the installation at fault, I will be charged £119.99 call out. Why would I re-install a fire risk appliance back into a property just so they can try to prove me wrong!!
Well Ship It Appliances, you may feel putting peoples lives at risk is more important than replacing a defective hob, thankfully, as a responsible landlady, I don’t. So you can shove your despicable company where the sun doesn’t shine and I hope anyone reading these review will think twice before buying anything from yourselves!!

DO NOT BUY.
I purchased a 4-in-1 boiling hot water tap from SIA for just under £400. Unfortunately, it lasted only about two months, even though I replaced the filters as recommended.
I contacted SIA and provided proof of purchase, proof that I had bought and replaced the filters, and a video clearly showing the issue. Despite this, it has now been over six months and the matter is still unresolved.
Without ever receiving the tap to inspect, they claimed the fault must be due to an internal plumbing issue. This explanation doesn’t make sense, as I have two other brand-new taps installed that work perfectly fine. The problem with the SIA tap is that the boiling hot water disengages after a few seconds.
In my experience, the company has done everything possible to avoid honouring the warranty. If you’re looking for a premium or luxury tap, I would strongly recommend choosing a more reputable brand.

THIS IS A SCAM

Ordered new black glass splashback as now back in stock delivered quickly the other day and fitted today.
Looks Great!

Wanted to cancle my order. Very happy with the customer service. The lady I spoke to dealt with my issue efficiently a refunded my money straight away without any delay. Thank you.

been trying to organize an engineer's visit for a dishwasher which isn't working only purchased in September last year - phoned a week ago, website said phone lines were open until 5pm, but when you call up the phone lines close at 4pm, had some back & forth emails since then, no closer to finding out when an engineer will visit - not impressed so far

We wanted an additional plinth heater in the kitchen to supplement our dual fuel plinth heater on very cold days. This plinth heater was very reasonably priced with quick delivery. However please add details to your listing stating the minimum depth required to fit the heater as this information was only stated on the instructions once we received the item.

Ship It Appliances Manchester are the same company as SIA (in B&Q stores). SIA boast sales of all sorts of 'Whitegoods' and reading the small print you could be forgiven for thinking it would be easy to deal with these people and that butter wouldn't melt in their mouth, but how wrong you would be. In my opinion they are the most disgraceful and difficult bunch of people to deal with bar none. Delay, delay, delay (4 months)....anything to avoid sending a postage label to collect a rubbish dishwasher. As for getting a refund hahahaha, what a pathetic joke, it's not going to happen. I could go on writing for a long time yet about this company, but it would serve no purpose so please be warned DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! I would have rated them -5 were it possible.
