Coal bags left spilt and water logged

Coal delivered recklessly- bags damaged and drive blocked.
Coal has been saturated as a consequence.
Delivery company and supplier response useless.
Coal had to be moved so could use driveway and then dried before use.

Avoid the hassle.

Little care and suggested
redress an insult.

Refund policy does not make sense

I bought (hired) a gas bottle approximately 6 years ago and kept going back to Ace for either topping up or replacing with a new full one. Also bought copious amounts of coal when I had my log burner. Now sold my patio heater so went to return the gas bottle to them for my refund. Was told this could not be done without the original receipt. I have moved house since and also this is 6-7 years ago since I originally bought this. Even though the bottle is evidently orginally from ACE, having the logo, telephone number etc engraved on to it, they refused to give me my money back and stared blankly at me when I politely challenged this as it does not make sense. Surely even without the original receipt dating back all those years, is it not common sense that this does belong to ACE? Obviously not! Now found an alterntive supplier with much better customer service in Huddersfield.

Disappointing Service from a local supplier

Have previously purchased a larger can with ACE. Took my can into the shop over the weekend and explained that this would not fit in my new BBQ and if there would be a chance of downgrading it or looking at a smaller unit. Was told they had stock but not for new customers, even though I had an ACE Energy can in my hands. Said I could leave the other can there even though I explained it was pretty much full then stared blankly at me when I asked if there was no way of helping. Really disappointing given I only live round the corner - will travel out to get elsewhere in future.

1 tonne pallet of smokeless coal

Better value than the current online competition. We bought a 1 tonne pallet of smokeless newborn coal ( 40 x 25kg bags). The order was dispatched promptly and delivered through a professional courier. Very pleased will do business again.

Reply from Bulk Coal

You placed the order on the 10th of January in the morning. A message was left on your answer phone phone on the 14th January in the morning, asking that
you contact us on the number provided so we could organise delivery of your coal.

I have since cancelled your order and issued a full refund at your request. We do try and contact the customer as soon as possible but on this occasion that did not
happen straight away, but it was not a week later when we tried to get in touch, however i do apologise that we were unable to meet your high standards, as this is
something we do try to achieve on every order we process and that will show on our google reviews.
