Bulk LPG - Cheapest suppliers / supply route?
Comments

Got the same offer, managed to get them to reduce the 2 year fix to 44p. Calor (my current supplier) told me that there is no change to my price (46ppl) but I may receive something shortly (contract expires in 2 weeks) notifying of price increases and if I get something to then get in touch. What a strange way of doing business. Transfer request submitted!

Summary of prices offered for NE Scotland on annual consumption of approx. 8000 ltrs
LPG Save - 44p fixed for 2 years + 21ppd standing charge (Flogas of course is the supplier)
Calor - Nothing
Gleaner Oil - 71.85 ppl variable
JGas - 48ppl fixed for 1 year, maximum increase 7.5ppl year 2
Flogas Direct - 45ppl on a 1 year fix or 48ppl on a two year fix.It is absurd that Flogas is able to provide cheaper prices through a broker than direct.

it may be incomprehensible to you, but that is different to absurd. I find the current electricity market absurd, it is so far from a free market.
one example: "lpg save gives us 100,000 litres pa so we will sell gas to them at 35p/l. And they take a turn. You don't - so we will offer you a price that on average, you will accept. Or you can find a better offer .
Unlike electricity or mains gas or water, lpg is still a free market. accept that and you will do well. But i understand that nowadays, many don't get it.

On the specifics of Broker v Direct, it is absurd. Regardless of volume, the broker is making a profit that could be going direct to the supplier. In LPG Save's case, it is always Flogas offered and once signed up, nothing is different from going direct so Flogas still do the delivery, payment, tank checks etc. just for less money.

Fine, don't use them if you think them absurd. I think them brilliant. This time I used LPG Compare to get a good deal from Avanti.
It is what a free market is all about…

And yet I was provided with better pricing than your Broker's "good deal" direct from Avanti. Which is how it should be.

Well I wasn't!
There really is nothing unusual about brokers .. they appear and are accepted in all sorts of industries. Use them or not, it they were that bad they wouldn't survive ..
