Formerly trading as Make it Cheaper.
deciptive, false information, misleading Zembl rep calls me and introduces there electricity rates which were good but could not believe. I asked the rep are there any other charges eg metering charges he assured there will be no metering charges… Read more
everthing will be in email.
a Few days later
get an email from Zembl asking to log in and set up a password for easy access to pay bill, view outstandings etc. Which I did, first thing I checked was the rates they are providing
BOOM
The rates are higher then what was discussed, called back and spoke to the rep he said he will look into it. Later get a response
"Looks like a rate structure change. I think this will actually be better for you. As you will benefit from the off-peak and shoulder through the day time."
Which was not the case.
I would not recommend this company at all. They lure you in with low rates but the rates change when you get the welcome pack.
Follow-up · Cancelling was easy with form they had provided along with there welcome email. Rates were at list 10% more to what it was introduced. reason for change as quoted "Looks like a rate structure change. I think this will actually be better for you. As you will benefit from the off-peak and shoulder through the day time."

Unwanted nuisance – Used their services back when they were Make It Cheaper. It was welcomed at the time since our energy situation had changed, and savings were promised on the back of a simple change-over. Well, the 'simple' changeover had to be done 3 separate times over the span of 2 months before finally taking effect. The time and frustration outweighed any… Read more
benefits, and I wish I'd dealt directly with the energy provider from the start. Now our office is getting endless calls from Zembl, disrupting our business, wanting to go through the process again. Promises energy savings without doing any sort of price comparison and demanding the time to do so. The irony is, I do want to do a price/market comparison, but it needs to be at a time that suits. The sales person doesn't care about this and is persistently harassing us, being rude to our staff, and using pressuring and bullying tactics to try to force our time for their own agenda. Obviously don't care about the businesses they harass as long as they get their piece of the pie whenever they want it.

as a lot of the sites are not exactly user friendly, as I found out yesterday and today after being advised by one of the suppliers that my current contract was about to expire. I phoned up Make It Cheaper today and got through to Charlie Thornton who quickly found me the best rates for Gas and Electricity in my area. We completed the sign ups over the phone and it didnt take any longer than about 20-25 minutes.He was extremely quick and efficient in finding me the best deals. Job done! I highly recommend Make it Cheaper as the best way to go when the time comes around to renew your energy contracts.

Had issues with our previous energy company. Spoke to Abdul Khadim at Zembl and he gave us options in our area. When we’d picked the best one for us they covered all the paperwork. Highly recommended Show reply
Fast, friendly and effective service - no obligations, but saved my company money within minutes and can also now do this for my personal services! Jack Mustill was great! I have recommended him and Zembl to friends immediately. Show reply
Change of Plan – Hopefully the club will be happy with the change of plan. Alix Crosby was very helpful on the ph. with the information. The management of the club feels that the solar rate should stay the same. What is the point of everyone having solar when we are not getting a good return. I am happy to change to an Australian co.

Why the good reviews. Check low google reviews – Slow and unhelpful responses. Seem to be more interested in collecting customer data than providing quotes. 1 star for concept.

Wonderful service – Have used Zembl/Make it Cheaper for the last three 2-year cycles for my multi-site bakery business. I can't fathom why someone wouldn't use this service. Has been amazing in keeping our costs reasonable. My last two cycles have been completed by Harlie, who is fast, professional, and very good at her job. Would recommend Zembl to any business owner.

Worth the time on the phone with Grace – Grace was informative, polite and efficient. She compared retailers and found that the same company I was already with had an even better plan/rates for me. This is the second time Grace has compared for me, calling when I was due to compare again. Great service. Show reply
Zembl were exceptional to work with, super helpful, very patient and answered all our questions – Zembl were exceptional to work with. When Domonic found that we were on the best pricing available for a small to medium business he sent us over to Ben to see if they could save us money on a large commercial plan. Not only did they manage to do that, when I had to play the middleman and convince my boss that the plan was a good idea for our… Read more · 1
business, Ben was very patient when I would come back day after day with a collection of my own questions and questions my boss had I was unable to answer, that he unfailingly answered clearly and with the patience of a saint. Would highly recommend.

Seamless and easy. Thanks to Jordan C – After being inundated with calls from various agencies wanting to connect our new rental, I got in touch with Zembl myself after hearing about them through a friend. I was put through to Jordan who was patient, kind, understanding, and even quite humorous. I like to think of myself as a reasonably intelligent chap but with this sort of thing I am… Read more · 1
clueless. Jordan took the time to explain everything properly, and voila, within minutes the entire thing was sorted. The fact that we supported the same football team was a plus too! I did some serious online digging myself after the call to try and get a better deal and guess what - I couldn't. Congratulations all round, official happy customer.
