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.

Honestly

Honestly. Absolutely useless since they were taken over. We used to have a good relationship but now they’re just rude and awful service. Took me nearly two weeks to get a refund!

Hi Stuart,

I'm sorry to hear you are not happy with the service you have received.

We do have a refund guide of making refund within 10 working days - that's 7 days max to reach a weekly refund run and 3 days to clear into the customers' bank. Typically, refunds will be made much sooner but I unfortunately this isn't always the case.

I understand our Depot Manager has been in touch to review your feedback and apologise. If there is anything else we can help with please email feedback@consolsoils.co.uk and I will respond directly.

Kind regards,
Andy

The oil was ordered three weeks in advance with a specific day given for delivery to be made by. Unfortunately despite the long notice period, I had to contact Consols to establish why the oil was not delivered as indicated, I was told that the oil would be delivered the day following the date originally promised, it just seems difficult to understand that with such a long period in which to deliver why they missed the indicated date

Hi Roger,

I'm sorry to hear your oil wasn't delivered on the expected date.

Usually this is caused by events out of our control such as a tanker breakdown, however, if that was the case it should have been communicated to you.

If you can reply back to feedback@consolsoils.co.uk and leave me your account number and/or email address then I'll ask the team to investigate and see what we can do to make it right.

Kind regards,
Andy
