Payment Issues
Reliance has received criticism for delayed payments. Jc C. reported that it took five days to receive payment, despite being quoted by others in the area who pay sooner. This has led to dissatisfaction among customers who have experienced payment delays.
Contrasting Reviews
However, Adrian Wills praised Reliance for being "well-organised & efficient, " recommending planning visits to avoid traffic congestion caused by the nearby council waste transfer station. Dean Spicer had a positive experience, stating that the business is always willing to take scrap metal without any issues.
Disappointment and Frustration
Trev Newbold was unhappy with the service, feeling ripped off by the difference between the quoted and actual payment for his copper and lead. He believed that the metal was not "clean" enough and was not able to seek alternative services due to the metal being already in the company's skips. Luke Smith was unable to get a response to his enquiry via email, suggesting that the service can be improved.
