Humax Direct have closed
Does anyone know the story behind Humax Direct closing?
Have the level of sales fallen so low it is too uneconomic to continue. |

Despite your inane and irrational dribble criticising Humax at every opportunity, you'll be annoyed to know they're just having a bit of a revamp of the website and will be back shortly.

It's not a guess, it's there in black and white on their UK Facebook page.

Some people just have to think it's all just some sort of conspiracy, but myself I'm perfectly happy with what I've seen Humax post and see no reason to not believe them. Quote:

If they're just revamping the website, why not put up an explanatory page rather than a 404 error? Why aren't they accepting orders by phone? Why aren't they fulfilling existing orders? Why are they telling people to buy from regular dealers?
Discussion here ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Seems like Humax changed contractors and the new one failed in it's preparations to takeover in time...

The closure of the Humax Direct website is a temporary move and we look forward to re-introducing new and dynamic replacement soon, that better reflect our Brand values and enhance customer satisfaction. [my emphasis]
In the Victorian sense, it seems that you've prematurely ejaculated.

I wonder who (if anyone) will honour Humax Direct's 1 year warranties on their 'Grade A' machines.

![]() If you look at my profile you would have learned that was an inappropriate comment. or perhaps you are in need of some basic primary school sex education? 2+ weeks between allowing a link to go dead and the addition a simple announcement that should have in place from day ONE is pathetic. Standards at Humax have dropped since their move to Poland. www.humaxdirect.co.uk ... now plus the redirect ... almost 5 weeks since CLOSURE and counting ...

Says the closure is temporary.
You do know what temporary means, right?... Temporary yes ... my post confirmed that FACT ... ![]() 2+ weeks to add the announcement and now almost 5 weeks since the CLOSURE... How long are they going to take to build a new site judging by these time scales ... will the answer be months or years...

Are you an expert on the subject ... from personal experience?
If you look at my profile you would have learned that was an inappropriate comment. or perhaps you are in need of some basic primary school sex education? Anyway, best go and read up on some Victorian novels to increase your lexicon. There is another definition of "ejaculated" that's not the one that sprang to your mind. Quote:

You said "confirm closure", suggesting that they have confirmed closure, when all they've confirmed, for now, is that it's temporary. Maybe they will close for sure, but there hasn't been any confirmation for now.

Almost three months later...
It may well still be temporary, but usually you don't close a revenue-generating website to work on launching a new version. You keep the old site running and build the new site silently on a dev machine and then when you're ready to launch, you kill the old site, move the staged dev site to production and launch it. So my gut instinct says Humax Direct isn't coming back. |

Oh look, humaxdirect is back again after undergoing a revamp, just as they said it would be.
I guess ds_whiner and the other know-it-all naysayers will have to eat their words again.

I suspect 'revamp' was just an excuse, and something serious had happened (like they lost the domain name?). |
