Do Not Buy a Banner Until You’ve Read This!

9th October 2025

Buying a banner online seems simple — but every week, UK businesses lose money to fake banner websites and low-quality print suppliers. Before you spend a single pound on a new vinyl banner or PVC banner, make sure you know exactly who you’re buying from.

At HFE Signs, we’ve been printing banners for UK customers since 1996, and we’ve seen it all — from poor print quality to websites that disappear after taking payment. Here’s what every buyer should know before ordering.

The Hidden Danger of Scam Banner Suppliers

The internet is full of websites claiming to offer “cheap banner printing” or “next-day vinyl banners.” Sadly, not all of them are legitimate. Many scam banner suppliers:

• Take payment and never deliver your order.

• Use low-grade vinyl or pixelated graphics that fade within weeks.

• Disappear when you try to contact customer support.

• Copy real business websites or use fake reviews.

Once your money is gone, it’s almost impossible to get it back — and your business is left without the banner it needs.

How to Spot an Unreliable Banner Website

Before placing an order, always take a few minutes to check:

1. Trustpilot Reviews:
   Type the company name into Trustpilot and look for genuine customer feedback.

   • Beware of new accounts with only a few reviews.

   • Read comments for recurring problems like “poor quality,” “late delivery,” or “no response.”

2. Contact Information:
   Reputable suppliers list a UK phone number, physical address, and customer service email. Scam sites often hide behind forms or generic emails.

3. Website Quality:
   Professional suppliers like HFE Signs show clear pricing, product specifications, and delivery details. Scam sites often use vague descriptions or copied images.

4. Secure Payment Gateway:
   Always ensure the website uses https:// and recognised payment providers (like Worldpay, PayPal, Stripe or a well known provider).
