Zero stars for solar panels

Their website promised a good price . And quick reply to my details and pics of house and roof.
3 weeks later ? And Their reply was my roof was too complex for panels and scaffolding.
Piss poor service. The infants in charge are only good for simple jobs / fitting. Avoid at all cost.
They are amateurs.

Their email reply was they were dark blue total bollox. All my friends and family agree they are black.
Avoid these liars.

Finally got my new blue glasses . They are blue! And lens are much deeper.
Hopefully my next order ain't so difficult guys .

Hello Stephen,

We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction and the inconvenience you experienced with your order. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for any trouble caused.

We would like to clarify that our production facility is located overseas, and all glasses are manufactured and shipped from there. As a result, delivery times can sometimes feel longer; however, we always strive to dispatch and deliver orders as quickly as possible. In your case, we can see that the order was delivered within the expected timeframe.

Regarding the product colour, we are sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations or match the description as you perceived it. This has been escalated to our relevant team for further investigation.

In the meantime, our Customer Support team will be reaching out to you shortly to discuss the matter further and provide a suitable resolution.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for the overall negative experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

Avoid Avoid Avoid These Shisters

I've been with them since they were Blueyonder. Bills are going up but getting. They put my phone in Internet. No calls in but I could ring out. Numerous attempts and they couldn't fix. Today I decided to cancel phone! Tv!And broadband !
They agreed to a broadband only deal but tried to bill £125 for 3 weeks.
Where did that figure come from.
Still I cancelled with my bank. Avoid these shisters all cost. AVOID AVOID AVOID
