Beyond dreadful service

Beyond dreadful service.
Placed an order 10 days ago. When order placed specifically requested BABY TANKER by telephone as narrow village road. Price agreed, deliver date 8 july agreed as had to take day off work.
Sat in all day no delivery!Called up 9 july they apologised and said would now be 10 July. Sat in all day and no delivery 10 July!! Eventually they called me 13 july to say the baby tanker was now "off the road being repaired". They wanted to cancel my contract and order! I said not too and that as I had only ordered 1000 litres they could deliver anytime in the next few months as it was a top up order. They refused and said they would not do this and they were cancelling. SO i will now have to order 14 days after my original order with Certas with another company now 14p higher price. ( Thats why!) Avoid this Company.

Absolutely awful

Absolutely awful. Dont fall for the monthly direct debit for the maintenance check, they don't carry out the service and took your money. Then they dont give you the refund even they agreed to. Absolutely liar and very frustrating to deal with them.

Good quotes normally

Often the best quote but on my last visit they could not quote online due to the problem with the Strait of Hormuz. Other suppliers quoted and I got supplied elsewhere.

Good afternoon - We just tried to contact you but unfortunately there was no answer and no option to leave a voicemail.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience when you last tried to place an order with us. At that time, the oil market was extremely volatile due to the uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, which meant we were temporarily unable to provide quotations.

Thankfully, market conditions have now stabilised, and we are once again able to offer quotes at the time of ordering.

For your next oil delivery, please feel free to check prices on our website or give us a call, and we’ll be happy to provide you with our latest competitive rates.

Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to supply you again in the future.

Kind regards,
Certas Energy

Friendly & helpful customer advisor

Friendly & helpful customer advisor - told me date when oil would be delivered by and it was actually received day before - with oil prices high at the moment it was good to be able to order 500 Litres for same price as 1000 Litres and still have 14 days to pay - thank you

I tried several times to order online but the site failed each time (over a period of days). I finally got through on the phone and once I was talking to a person everything was fine.
The delivery man put the oil in the tank without my knowledge - which suits me fine but meant I hadn't cleared the area for him.
