The company has failed to deliver and install my retrofit double glazing as agreed and within the agreed timeframe. I was told three days before the job should have been finished that they simply couldn't provide the product or the service.
The company has been in breach of contract since 7th June 2019 and has held my deposit worth thousands of dollars since 8th April 2019.
Viridian agreed to refund my deposit by the 13th of June...they've failed to keep this promise.
I raised an official complaint with National Office and again asked that my deposit be refunded as agreed...not even an acknowledgement from National Office.
Shame on you Viridian Glass NZ.

Just because we put streams into pipes, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve mana.
It’s important that we’re conscious of what we pour into our stormwater pipes and gutters in our city as it negatively impacts the fish moving through them.
Come and meet the fish at Ahi Kā - Matariki ki Pōneke 2019

"I mean, I ate heavy cream I think 10 weeks past date," says … View moreIn the US last year, Mom's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash did something many are afraid to do: He ate a cup of yoghurt months after its expiration date. And then tortillas a year past their expiration date.
"I mean, I ate heavy cream I think 10 weeks past date," says Nash, "and then meat sometimes a good month past its date. It didn't smell bad. Rinse it off, good to go."
It was all part of his year-long experiment to test the limits on food that had passed its expiration date.
