Absolutely don’t buy it’s a total joke has mine 4days and is constantly showing the wrong location of my van. Been on with tech support who asked if I was parked underground😤 they were saying that the gps signal was weak in my area also I can go in the van remove all my equipment and about 15 minutes later I sometimes get a alert. Absolutely crap 💩

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

In a sector which is woefully inadequate at protecting tradesmen - Armd are a refreshingly on point, well priced and more importantly effective provider of peace of mind to tradesmen. Thieves can still attack our vans but we will know very quickly and be able to act. Lying in bed at night not knowing if someone has been in your van is the worst thing for a tradesperson, but ARMD brings peace of mind.

Don’t waste your time or money!! The armed device is terrible.. Sends false notifications, rings your phone early hours in the morning. If you open your van doors with the device armed, it won’t notify you until around 5-10mins after. By that time your van will be stripped of any tool. The communication with the company is shocking, they just ignore you. So my advice to anyone reading this is leave this joke of a company well alone…

Sought best price for wood filler and discovered ARMD. Slightly sceptical as no previous experience or knowledge. Reviews seemed genuine and good so tried. After issues with delivery company raised with ARMD the filler delivered well boxed up and genuine article. Would highly recommend this company

Brought the Armd Guard last week

Brought the Armd Guard last week, and really love the product.
Came within two days, easy to set up, tested it out a few times and the alerts came through pretty quick.
I would highly recommend it to anyone in the trades.

Not compatible with my phone, unfortunately

After watching a review on YouTube I thought it would be useful to have van guard on my van. The installation took 10mins which was excellent, but after approx 5hrs the app failed. After 6/7 telephone calls and various emails, I've now been told that they are unable to find the cause of the problem at there end and it must be my mobile at fault (samsung galaxy fold 4) very disappointed as the review and the first usage, it seemed to be very good. Unfortunately looks like it will have to be returned to ARMD.

Never arrived delivery method now put me off

Ordered and paid for the alarm/track 1 year sub on the 31st October still hasn't arrived was given a royal mail tracking number that wont update unless a delivery attempt is made so decided to cancel for a refund and have been informed ill get a refund once i have returned the product? A product that hasn't shown up and other than a useless tracking number i have no way of finding out when that mite be so no real idea of when ill get my money back

Not a direct review of the product but surely something costing over £160 would be shipped by a more secure service yes tradesmen are out working most of the time but i would prefer a signed for serviceand to collect the order if a failed delivery attempt was made from a local collection office / shop

I’ve still not received it

I’ve still not received it.
I ordered it 7 days ago.
I have contacted them and they said that it should arrive by (Saturday) yesterday at the latest. If it doesn’t call back.
So still not received it and I’ll have to give them a call again tomorrow.

The kit arrived today and took minutes…

The kit arrived today and took minutes to set up and was working in under a few mins when I received a text.
I had reservations about the delay between opening my van and my phone alert , after messing around opening doors I was very impressed with how quick my phone rings almost instantly.
The tracker function works really well and easy to use and accurate.
I ordered it at 7.30pm Friday night was here by 8am Tuesday.
I actually think this is a very good product and it works very well.
The fact there is no audible siren I think is better because no-one other than the owner is going to pay attention to an alarm anymore not even the thief's.
Highly recommended

Hello

Hello, I have called for help but I have not had any calls returned. The system does not work and when you go into the app it just tries to sell you something else. I will call the helpline tomorrow but if no response they can have it back and give me a refund. No customer service at all !!

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service, no contact request return, no phone call return. I wanted to upgrade my insuerance with them to the app and alarm. If no contact for a up sell you have no hope for a claim! Use some other established insuerance company. Shame it could have been great!!! Oh, and if your still waiting for your shares certificate, I’m not holding my breath!

Hi Nick, I am sorry you have had this experience and feel this way. Could I ask you please get in contact with your name and phone number and we will give you a ring to work out what has happened here and get it sorted. I have been through our database and your details on TrustPilot do not match any of our customer service tickets so I would like to get to the bottom of this asap.

Send us your name and number on customersupport@armd.uk or 0204 5386212 and we will give you a call.

Just so you and anyone else reading this are aware there is a blue button floating bottom right of every screen in both the app and our website that you can click on to open a request form, raise a question or call the phone number (which is 0204 5386212 within work hours). Any message left we will try to responded to asap. You can also get hold of us on the email customersupport@armd.uk

Finally our insurance policy is underwritten by Royal Sun Alliance, one of the most established insurance companies with over 300 years of hertitage. So far our slowest claim to date was approved in 3 days (industry average is 5+ weeks!) and as long your tools are in our FREE tool inventory app RSA have promised to turn around claims within 5 days.
