DO NOT TRUST.

Edit** further update on this whole saga. I was emailed last week by the owner of the company begging me to cancel my chargeback as she has had over 200 disputes and saying it is costing her and could ruin her business. When I responded saying I would not be cancelling as I had lost trust, one of the replies where, I am not Amazon. Never once stated she was only that she should have been honest and transparent with customers instead of continuing to take money. Very rude and unprofessional. Got a notification from my bank today ro say my dispute has been resolved and the bank have refunded my money. She has tried to fudge disputes but is unfortunately losing to the banks. Glad I now have my money back. Will never ever use this company again and will continue to warn people of the scams.

Ordered on the Sunday eve before the eclipse as stated guaranteed next day delivery. Paid £9.95 for Royal Mail special delivery by 1pm as stated on the website and on the order. Received confirmation order but then nothing afterwards. Tried to email but got an automated response. Found social media accounts and realised hundreds of people where in the same boat, and were becoming worried. Owner posted updates eventually on Tuesday saying all orders had been fulfilled and to give it until Wednesday 1pm. However they still did not arrive leaving, not just myself but again on social media, hundreds of others without their orders. The owner Amy Jay Clayton, also done a radio interview Wednesday morning of the eclipse, to say they had become overwhelmed with orders and had only managed to fulfill 70-80% of them despite telling everyone the night before that all orders had been fulfilled. She then jetted off to Spain to watch the eclipse but still had not updated her customers, responded to concerned emails etc. Mamy people initiated chargebacks through their banks. On Monday this week, 5 days after the eclipse I eventually got an email stating that my order had not been fulfilled and a refund would be issued. (I am still yet to receive anything). She also said if a chargeback had been initiated then to cancel it as it would delay refund. My bank advised me based on all the lies and lack of communication to not do this so I have left it open. Also I was told that the company had set up a reoccurring payment without my permission so was planning on taking more money from my account it seems. A few people also had this issue. It appears, going from many people’s comments so far, apart from 1 review on here, (similar to only 1 positive comment on social media), nobody is yet to receive a refund. The owner has responded online with a very passive aggressive comment to people, telling people those who did not do a chargeback and were patient would be prioritised for refunds. It’s hardly about being patient when you pay and are promised a service that was not delivered with no communication from the seller until 5 days too late, or 6 days as technically with what I paid for my order should have arrived the day before. Also saying people should have ordered on time. With a promise of guaranteed delivery next day by 1pm and paying for that service I would think 3-4 days before was plenty of time. Also to top it off she then posted the day of the eclipse, on her local page that she had surplus stock to sell in her local area, but could not fulfill the orders she had taken. I understand small businesses on occasions like this can become overwhelmed but honesty and transparency and common decency make a lot of difference. I would never ever use this company again.

Paid for guaranteed delivery and order was never sent, no communication, email address didn’t work and emails bounced back to me and when I did a charge back through the bank they challenged it. Amazing they found the time to challenge customers trying to get their money back but couldn’t even update customers on orders they had no way of fulfilling!

Never received the item, although was given a confirmation email of the order. Never received tracking. Emailed for updates, email bounced back. Found another email and got automated response. Assured on their social media all orders were dispatched and then the next day said they did not fulfil orders.
Still awaiting response from my emails over a week ago.
Now actively stating on their social media they are only refunding who they would like to that have not raised a complaint with their bank. They are asking customers to cancel charge backs and get refunds and asking for positive feedback. They are rude when challenged and have left lots of people dissatisfied I would not order again or recommend. Still awaiting any communication via email.

Ordered 3 days before the eclipse and paid the £9.95 ‘guaranteed’ next day delivery by 1pm, three days later the order hadn’t arrived, and I then found out it wasn’t even dispatched. The company continually put out posts on social media telling everyone all orders had been dispatched, and that they would all arrive by the Wednesday and to be patient. The owner then went on the radio saying she was off to Spain to watch the eclipse, and had actually only managed to dispatch 70%-80% of orders, and not all of the orders as had previously stated. The posts saying all orders had been dispatched was a lie. I had to issue a chargeback with my bank to get a refund. Emails just bounced back - the email address given in the confirmation of order doesn’t exist.

There are hundreds of people on the sollunae Facebook and instagram pages in the same position, having had a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the eclipse spoiled, and as we were all lied to about the orders all being dispatched, most people didn’t have time to make alternative arrangements. There are also a lot of comments from people stating that the company set up multiple charges on their accounts, so be wary of that as well.

There is a partial eclipse next year, if you want glasses, DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. You wont get them.

Ordered eclipse glasses which were never delivered

There have since been updates that they were overwhelmed and the website had such high traffic they couldn’t close it down to new orders but this doesn’t explain why:
1. The website was unable to be updated explaining the issue and that orders may not be fulfilled
2. They continued to advertise across social channels to order glasses
3. They put up posts that they had dispatched all orders and they would arrive prior to the eclipse giving people zero time to source alternatives
4. They then went on the radio advertising the business and then mentioned they hadn’t dispatched everything
5. There was then radio silence for several days apart from posting pictures of people enjoying the eclipse

Overall the situation was made 100% worse by the complete lack of communication and this is why everyone is so frustrated

Poor service, poor communication, not recommended

Doesn’t even deserve one star! She is a thief & is clueless on how to run a business! Took thousands of people’s money, did not deliver the goods, then openly advertised On a Radio interview that she was jetting off on holiday. She also advertised that they had plenty of stock left and sold the glasses from her dad’s address but couldn’t be bothered to fulfill the orders for the people who had already paid.

No updates, emails bouncing back, no communication, charging for GAURENTEED next day delivery, advising all orders had been sent- which they had not. This mockery needs to be closed down!
She then had the nerves to message me asking me to leave a good review and when I said no she said ‘I was an angry person, businesses don’t always work properly & I should of ordered in advance’ this sums up her professionalism or should I say LACK OF.

Poor management, zero communication and order didnt arrive as promised on their website.

Order did not arrive. Zero communication from the company. No response to emails.

This is the worst online shopping experience I’ve ever had. Glasses never arrive, emails never get replies, and money doesn’t get refunded. This shop just never should have been opened. Very disappointing customer service — sorry, I meant no customer service at all.

Guarantees next day delivery. No glassess almost a week on and the eclipse long gone. No repliies to emails. No contact number. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

On 9 August 2026, I placed an order for eclipse glasses and paid an additional £9.95 for Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm. The merchant advertised that next-day orders would arrive by 1pm and that the final order cut-off time was 11pm on 10 August 2026. The solar eclipse took place on 12 August 2026.

By 11 August, I had received no dispatch confirmation or tracking information. I contacted the seller by email, Facebook and Instagram, and formally cancelled the order before any evidence of dispatch was provided. I received only an automated response. Nothing arrived by the deadline, and at 1:03pm on 12 August my order was still marked “Processing”.

What concerns me most is the inconsistency in the seller’s public statements. On 11 August 2026, the seller initially announced on Facebook that “all orders” had been dispatched and that the last next-day delivery orders would arrive by 1pm on Wednesday 12 August 2026. The following day, the seller acknowledged that it had not been able to fulfil every order and said that refunds would be issued for orders that had not been dispatched. This announcement was made during the final three hours before the solar eclipse began. Interestingly, she also admitted on BBC Sounds on 12 August 2026 that only 70–80% of all orders had been fulfilled, meaning that 20–30% had not been fulfilled.

As of 14 August, I have received no goods, refund or individual response from the seller. I raised a retailer dispute with my bank, which has now opened a chargeback and provisionally credited the full order amount to my account. The money currently returned to me came through my bank’s dispute process, not from the seller.

My advice is - if your goods have not arrived and the seller has not refunded you, do not rely indefinitely on a general promise of a future refund—contact your bank promptly and ask about raising a card dispute or chargeback.

We have to protect our interests. This company ruined the solar eclipse experience and disappointed many people like me, especially children who were unable to see and enjoy such a spectacular event. Therefore, we cannot expect a dishonest and disgraceful seller to refund the money automatically. We learned that the seller knew she could not fulfil all orders but still claimed that all orders would arrive, which amounted to a misrepresentation made in circumstances of which seller was aware.

Massive scam, those that purchased the glasses like myself, expected for eclipse, no communication so ill be doing a charge back

Company scammed people, claiming they had sent out eclipse glasses for guaranteed delivery by 1pm Friday. Glasses never came, no communication. Terrible customer service, company knocked off email and did not communicate to thousands that they could not fulfill orders. Shocking

We were looking for solar glasses to arrive on time before the eclipse, which is a very time and sensitive very important event. We ordered the glasses in time with special delivery next day by 1pm payment, to arrive with a safety net time in case of delay before the vent date. Payment been taken on ordering, and the when it was suppose to arrive, nothing was delivered, and no tracking number or any update. I have tried sending various messages and emails, even on instagram, with the only auto reply to all of it mentioning that they are very busy packing orders and will be delivered as promised, and not to contact them again until after the event!! alarm bells started to sink in, and felt that this maybe a con! we've managed to source the glasses some where else which was not an easy task at all, and I have sent an email requesting full refund with the postage cost as well, as the goods were not delivered as advised and advertised according to consumer act 2015. Very disappointed and will hope that they will honour their mistakes and not been transparent and honest and make the refund, We will not be ordering from them again and advise others to be aware as from reading the reviews a lot of people experienced the same disappointment.

I am incredibly disappointed with how Sollunae handled this. The failure to fulfil my order was bad enough, but it was the repeated reassurances, contradictory information and failure to be transparent with customers until it was far too late that made this experience so unacceptable.

I ordered 10 solar eclipse glasses on Sunday night, paying almost £35 in total, including £9.95 for next-day delivery guaranteed by 1pm. These were obviously an extremely time-sensitive purchase.

When I became concerned about whether my order would arrive, I contacted Amy directly on Instagram. I was personally reassured that I would receive my glasses in time.

Sollunae then made a public announcement stating in capital letters:

“WE HAVE DISPATCHED ALL ORDERS.”

The same announcement stated that the final next-day deliveries would arrive by Wednesday at 1pm.

So I trusted what I had been told. I believed my order had been dispatched and was on its way.
It hadn't arrived by Wednesday at 1pm. In fact, it didn't arrive at all.

Then, only after customers had spent Wednesday desperately waiting for orders they had been explicitly told were already on their way, Sollunae acknowledged that they had received more orders than they were capable of fulfilling and “could not get to every order.”

They subsequently said refunds would be issued for orders that had not been dispatched.

I find that completely unacceptable.
You cannot tell customers ALL orders have been dispatched and then subsequently acknowledge that some orders had not been dispatched at all. Those two statements simply cannot both be true.

What frustrates me most is that we could have done something about it had we been given accurate information in time. If I had been told on Tuesday that my order hadn't been fulfilled, I could have tried to find eclipse glasses somewhere else. Instead, I had personally been reassured that mine would arrive and then saw the company's public announcement stating that every order had been dispatched. I therefore spent Wednesday waiting for a parcel I had every reason to believe was coming.

By the time customers were finally told that not every order had actually been sent, it was too late. The eclipse was happening that evening. This wasn't an ordinary product where a parcel arriving a few days late was a minor inconvenience. The entire purpose of the product disappeared once the event was over.

Sollunae has since stated that customers whose orders weren't dispatched will receive refunds. However, after everything that happened, I no longer have any trust in this company or its assurances. Thankfully, I contacted my bank and have already received my money back through a chargeback.

I completely appreciate that a small business can become overwhelmed by unprecedented demand. I would have had considerably more sympathy if customers had simply been told: “We've received more orders than we can fulfil and unfortunately yours may not be dispatched.” That would have been disappointing, but at least it would have been honest and given us an opportunity to make alternative arrangements.

Instead, I was personally reassured my glasses would arrive, customers were publicly told that all orders had been dispatched, and only when it was effectively too late were we told that this wasn't actually the case.

One of the worst experiences I have ever had with a company. I would not order from Sollunae again.

small business, got overwhelmed but gave refund

Rubbish - paid nearly £10 for next day delivery on 9 August but no Solar Eclipse glasses

I placed an order on Sunday evening after seeing an absolute guarantee on this company's website and social media channels that items would arrive in time for the solar eclipse on Wednesday. Their official statement explicitly promised that any orders placed before 11:00 PM on Monday would arrive on time.

Today is Wednesday - the day of the eclipse - and the items have not arrived. On Tuesday, the business explicitly stated on their social media channels that all orders had been dispatched. Today, after seeing a massive backlash on social media from numerous other customers who had not received their orders, the company put out a new statement backtracking on their previous claim, and deleted the old one about all orders having been dispatched. They admitted that not all orders were actually dispatched and are now attempting to shift the blame onto courier delays and unprecedented order volumes. Throughout this entire ordeal, there has been a complete lack of proactive communication from the company, adding significantly to the perceived dishonesty.

To highlight just how misleading this business continues to be, it is currently 4:00 PM on Wednesday - 3 hours after the guaranteed 1:00 PM delivery time and during the actual event - and their website still actively displays the following text:

"** LAST DELIVERY DATES **
Due to some delays with Royal Mail we are now only offering:
Royal Mail Special Guaranteed Delivery by 1pm
LAST ORDERS:
11.00pm on August 10th
Royal Mail Special Guaranteed Delivery by 1pm
Order today to avoid disappointment!"

It is clear to me that they knowingly accepted orders they could not realistically fulfill just to secure the revenue, and they cannot even be bothered to update their website to reflect reality. Had they been honest about their capacity or shipping constraints from the start, I would have had the opportunity to source these essential items elsewhere. The only reason I chose them was because their shipping options were a guaranteed 1pm next day, whereas the competitor I was considering offered next business day for the same price instead. Maybe some things are too good to be true.
The deception, disorganisation and radio silence have left me and my family without any options for a once-in-a-lifetime event. I am deeply disappointed and will never trust or buy from this business again and discourage others strongly to do so.

Paid £9.95 for Special Next Day Delivery. Three days later, and they never arrived. Had I have known this when ordering them, I would never have used this site. Highly disappointing. Still posting on social media, and not replying to anybody's messages.
