Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The usual high standard of service from Consols Oils. Friendly, no hassle booking and a good price. Plus, of course, the ever-friendly and efficient Jon doing the delivery. Highly recommended.

First impressions.

I placed my order directly with Consols partly based on previous positive reviews I had read and a quoted price for delivery within a fixed period.
The delivery wasn’t made on schedule (Friday 14th February) and when I phoned the office to query I was told someone would get back to me with an update. No call came. I phoned again on Monday and Tuesday of the following week to get an update. There was no apology for the delay either of the delivery or that no-one had bothered to contact me to tell me when the delivery would be.
I eventually received the delivery 6 days late. Will think twice next time!

Non delivery

Delivery was due 28th Jan. No apology when not delivered. I telephoned on 29th to be told tanker ran out and it would be delivered on 30th. Person I spoke to was very helpful and arranged an inconvenience payment to be made to me. Oil delivered on 30th, late morning. It would seem that Consol Oils are an outlet for a faceless company upcountry and no longer have any say in what goes on. There should be more communication between company and customer.

Reply from Consols Oils

Hi Jill,

We sincerely apologise for the delay in your delivery, although I'm glad to hear our team were able to help and arrange recompense for the delay.

Our systems would usually send a notification when a delivery has to be rerouted, and we will be investigating why this did not happen in your case.

A member of our team will be in touch with you shortly to discuss your experience and to see what we can do to make amends.

In the meantime, if you have any additional feedback, please feel free to email us at feedback@consolsoils.co.uk.

Kind regards,
Andy

Efficient

I've been a customer of Consols Oils for a number of years, on and off. They deliver when they say they will, and do so with minimum of fuss. Thanks as always.
