See I tried Nicholloils and they told me Fri at the very earliest but probably Sat!!
Ended up getting the 200L from Redon today, £123!!!

Other nice little trick I found from Maxol...they were quoted as one of the cheapest delivering in Belfast, went online to place order, until I got to the stage that asked if you needed a mini tanker or if they needed to come through the house to deliver. £7 extra if you need a mini tanker, £10 extra if they need to come through the house!!!!???

We need delivery through the house but £10 extra would have taken the price way more expensive than loads of others!

Maxol changed the website to that a few months ago.

Not a lot of companies will do through house, for insurance reasons, and I guess this is another Maxol feel they can capitalise on

Was this in the Belfast area and if so can I ask who the supplier was, needing to buy next week.

My Mum's just received her WFP. Would you suggest buying now or waiting a couple of weeks? The prices seem to be going up a lot at the minute.

Thought I would share this link which tries to explain the cost of home heating oil and why it seems to still be high despite barrel price being much lower than last year:

No comfort, I know, but well done cheapoil in trying to make it easier for laypersons to make some kind of sense of the situation.

Got an email yesterday from maxoldirect.com. Offering £5 off next order if you order online before 01.12.08. Discount code or eVoucher as they call it is "earlybirdDec08". 500L minimum order though

Tried it this morning and worked no problem! £5 better off in my pocket!!:beer:

Looks like it's coming down again.

Beware Value oils are using a premium rate 0905 phone number(55p a minute)for their phone ordering service.

Surely this should be local number or a freephone number.

As they quote this NI money Saving Site in their recent mailshot lets hope they take heed of this post?

900L with Value Oils for £372 (ordered online)

BoilerJuice looked cheaper to start with but they stick on a £5 Credit Card surcharge which made them a few quid more expensive.

Boilerjuice £368 today if you pay by debit card.
Is it worth holding out to see if it comes down any further? I'm not in immediate need so could hold out for a few weeks.
