I got this from Google, it takes you to the page to e mail, then when you have completed your message, no more than 1000 words, I did 955 words, you submit, then it acknowledges in your e mail and you click where they tell you, then your message is finally submitted.
I finished my message by asking could they take off the VAT!!:eek:

The more folk that do this the better!!! Cheers, oap

Last year I ordered 1000 litres of oil. The company were excellent.
However when the oil man finished, he said I had room for more and put in an extra 200 litres.
When I received the bill, the print out (1000 litres and price) had been changed by hand. No problem until I got to thinking, how do I know I had an extra 200 litres. I am sure I did, but there is always a doubt. Is there a litre counter that can be put on the tank to gauge how much is delivered?

Sounds a bit dodgy I thought the onboard system monitored all stock out. How did you pay? Not cash I hope.. There should be a total capacity stamped on the oil tank.. so if full that is the total it can hold..

We get a print out on the invoice slip which starts at 00000
and finishes at whatever you have bought!!

OFT have announced an official investigation into heating oil prices.... http://www.oft.gov.uk/news-and-updates/press/2011/07-11

Blimey, I ordered 500 litres couple weeks back and it was 79p / litre - from Southern Counties oil (I'm near Brighton) at the time Boilerjuice was quoting around 70-80p so I went with my usual company.... I'm guessing a few oil execs have now paid off their mortgages and second homes thanks to the recent panic/scare!

sob, 79p

:mad:

edit: it was 'only' 75.98p/L sorry for error!

You were definitely overcharged!!

I ran out of oil about 2 weeks ago. Was £315 for 500 litres. Now come down to around £290 for 500 litres about 55ppl. Still cant afford any just yet so hoping itll be even cheaper?? In the PE14 area.

I'm in Cornwall and was quoted 74p per litre for an end of December delivery (we were almost out of oil) managed to get it down to 69p by quoting a price I'd seen for another company. Hope the next delivery will be a lot cheaper - we don't have a lot of choice as we can't get gas.
