Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 90 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Many customers found the product range to be good, easily locating what they needed, and appreciated the very competitive prices, often noting they were lower than other online companies and local depots. The staff received frequent praise for being extraordinarily competent, responsive, helpful, and professional, with some going the extra mile to ensure orders were correct and delivered on time. Delivery was often described as fast, prompt, and on time, with many appreciating the communication and the good condition of the goods upon arrival. However, some people were dissatisfied with delivery costs, which could be a significant portion of the product price, and a few experienced issues with damaged products upon arrival. There were also instances of incorrect items being delivered, or drivers refusing to help with offloading, despite previous positive experiences.

Typical punitive delivery charges to Scotland.

I live 25 minutes from Glasgow, not rural by any means and not a highlands postcode.

Had my basket ready to order with free delivery because it was a large order (which they plaster all over their website). Only to put in my postcode and be slapped with an extra £150 delivery charge. Waste of time. Will take my money elsewhere.

Sick of companies acting like Scotland is some sort of irrelevant afterthought.

Edit:

I already did reach out and was just told that even though you falsely advertise free delivery that you don't offer it to all customers. Especially those in Scotland. You categorise the whole PA postcode area as a remote area which simply isn't true.

Thank you for your feedback.

Delivery costs are determined by our courier partners based on location, and while we strive to offer free shipping wherever possible, some areas unfortunately incur higher charges due to logistical factors.

We value all our customers across the UK, including Scotland, and would love the opportunity to serve you in the future. If you’d like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to our team—we’d be happy to help.

Frustrating Experience: Poor Order Cancellation Process and Unreasonable Return Postage

I had a very frustrating experience with this company and feel compelled to share it with others.

Last week, I placed an order, but upon receiving the credit card charge, I noticed the price was incorrect as the order was not charged in accordance with the free shipping offer for orders over £360. Within seconds of placing the order, I immediately called customer service and followed their advice to cancel the order and place a new one. I submitted the cancellation request as instructed and received confirmation that the order would be cancelled.

However, despite the confirmation, I received a package today containing items from the cancelled order, including the Metal Insulation Discs (Zinc Plated) x 35mm (Bag of 50). This was clearly an error in the cancellation process.

Although I was told I could return the items, I am required to pay for the return postage, which I find very disappointing. Given that the error occurred on your end during the cancellation process, it is only reasonable that you should cover the return costs, not me. The entire cancellation process was unnecessarily complicated and inconvenient, and the communication was poor. I am very dissatisfied with this shopping experience.

I hope this review helps others be cautious when dealing with this company. Their order cancellation process needs significant improvement, and their handling of return postage is unreasonable. The overall customer service experience was far from satisfactory.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.

After reviewing our records, we can confirm that your initial call was received an hour after your order was placed. During this conversation, our team clearly advised that all cancellations must be submitted in writing. However, we did not receive your written cancellation request until later in the afternoon. By this time, the discs had already been processed and dispatched.

We understand your frustration and regret any inconvenience this may have caused. As per our policy, return postage costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the error is on our part. In this case, as the order was already in progress at the time of your written request, we were unable to halt the dispatch.

We always strive to provide clear communication and efficient service, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our processes. If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team, who will be happy to assist you.

Happy

First time order so was a little concerned about the speed of delivery and quality of the product. Very happy on both counts. The price is super even when you add on the delivery cost compared with my local suppliers. Would be very happy to order from them again.

Good quality, communication and price!

I ordered sheeps wool insulation for my loft. I4L were far cheaper than everywhere else I checked and their communication was brilliant throughout the whole process, including when I told them about my narrow street. My only negative is with the delivery company. I only recieved about an hours notice that my order was arriving 2 days earlier than I was told.

I was charged £24 delivery on a £500 order despite the statement that "deliveries are free on orders over £300". This statement is misleading and false.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. On this occasion, we find your review a little unfair.   
                      
Our website clearly states any delivery fees both on each product page and in the cart before checkout. This gives you amble options to change to a standard item that is included in delivery or removing an item that has a delivery fee.

You advised that you did not want to proceed with the items that had a separate delivery fee. We offered to swap out the products to a different brand that would fall under standard delivery, refund the fee and, any difference in price paid.

You then advised us you wished to have the part of the order that had a delivery fee cancelled and refunded. We did this for you within a matter of a few hours.

We hope this clarifies the matter.

Best service I’ve had for ages.

Delivery was made successfully this morning. I’ve left very satisfied feedback on your feedback system but wanted to write further to say how fantastic your service has been.

From a seamless online purchase process, to prompt delivery and most importantly really responsive customer service when I had a problem my end with delivery, you guys have been fantastic. And to top it all off, your delivery driver was proactive, friendly and helpful, an excellent representative of both your company and your delivery contractor. A throughly positive experience. Thank you.

Pretty poor service

Pretty poor service. Placed an order online with a lead time of 3 - 5 working days. order was acknowledged then heard nothing more. Contacted then by email and phone on day 5 and was told they would look into it and call me back. Heard nothing by day 6 so rang again and was told the same. Again have heard nothing from them. Just had a call from a third party seller saying they will deliver in 2 days time. When asked why the delivery was so late they said the order had only been placed the day before (day 5) by Insulation4less. They still have not contacted me themselves to let me know. Communication is so important but it seems that customer service is not a priority for them.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear about the delay and lack of communication surrounding your order. Your experience was far from the standard of service we strive to provide, and we apologise for the frustration and inconvenience this caused.

Unfortunately we did not communicate to you that there would be an extended lead time due to your distance from the depot. However, regarding the placing of the order, we can assure you that your order was indeed processed on the day it was placed. We have spoken to the 3rd party supplier in this case and they send their apologies for giving incorrect information in this matter.

We are currently reviewing our communication procedures with both our team and our third-party supplier to ensure that our customers receive clear and prompt updates, especially in cases of unexpected delays.

If you’re open to discussing this further, please feel free to reach out directly to our Customer Service Manager on 0203 582 6399.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback, it helps us improve.
