Points 1 -4

And not forgetting the implicit points:

5) We really are honest people.

6) We are here to help you, the consumer, get the best price and we are really NOT in business to maximise our profits or get the best return for our shareholders.

7) The above points 1-6 are all wholly accurate and factually correct, because I work for an LPG company, so I know these things.


But then he WOULD say that, wouldn't he! ;-)

Hmmmmmmmm....... Shame they can (allegedly) get all these important parts right, but are still wholly unable to understand or adhere to the terms of the contract that THEY wrote and under which they agreed to supply me with LPG.

As an update to my posts of about a year ago, Messrs Honest-John-Calor just tried to hit me with yet ANOTHER price rise in excess of the cap specified in THEIR contract, and had to be reminded about this, TWICE, before correcting the supply price.

And is it just me and my neighbours, or do they ALWAYS wait to make a delivery until one or two days AFTER the price has just leapt up, regardless of the tank level? Thought not :-(

Trust me - the big LPG companies are sharks and shysters.

I'm an LPG user, so I know these things ;-)

YMMV ;-)

I own My own tank, thanks to the previous owners son being an Area manager for Shellgas, which says a lot about costs.
However It's now due a new certificate, and I've Been searching the net for someone to do it, with out success.
Any Ideas what search terms might give me the right answer ?
or a site with the right information?
or even someone who might do it (Norwich area).

Thanks

Try lpggasuppliers.com it (you will need to put in the www. at the beginning). It has some useful info about tanks and there is a monthly price comparison.

Quote "In the vast majority of cases the tank will be owned by the company that supplies the gas, but if you are unsure then you should check this with your own supplier. In general, the supplier will look after the tank and its fittings (their integrity and maintenance) but again check this with your supplier if you are unsure, as legally it needs to be maintained in a safe condition".

Hi this is the site to go to to find all the firms that will supply your area www . uklpg . org / supplier - search / search . php sorry about the gaps but I am still a newbie so not allowed to put links in. When my contract came up I went here and found I had a choice of 7 suppliers as opposed to the 2 that I thought I had BUT when I got prices of them some were ludicrous high but i still had 3 new ones with good quotes. So i swapped to Energas which brought my cost down to 37p from 49p a litre!!!!!!!!!!!!

BELOW IS FROM A SITE OF A COMPANY WHO I THINK ARE BASED IN MANCHESTER AND WHO WERE PREPARED TO DELIVER TO ME IN LINCOLNSHIRE. THEY UNLIKE OTHER SUPPLIERS ARE HAPPY TO SUPPLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THERE OWN TANKS AND ALSO RECOMENDED ENGINEERS TO SERVICE IT. THEY ARE CHARGING 37.44P PER LITRE. Personally I would not go down that route. £60 a year rental is in my mind a good price especially as people talk about paying £1200 to have a tank fitted.

FROM "EXTRA FUELS" INTERNET SITE
