    Was this via the maxoldirect website? I just checked and it's quoting me £368.87:confused:

    That's the price I was getting on their website too. Saw Francophile's post about 900 litres for £308 with Ian Martin, so I checked their website for price of 1000 litres- £349. Rang Maxol & asked for non-website price, think it was £375. I told them what the online price was at Martin's & the girl on the phone asked me to wait a minute- she must have been checking the Martin's site- then she said they would do it for £348. Normally I'd have paid the £375 because usually just order on the phone, so was very pleased to get it for £27 less!!
  • Ordered 500L from EMO this morning: £183 no card charge. That was a phone price as the online was £189.

    I phoned arounds loads and checked the usual suspects online..
    Morrow online was £185 but I couldnt get a phone price from them.
    Maxol, Hylands and Irwins ran third @ £187.74
    Everybody else £190+

    Boiler juice.com is 178.50 for 500 litres today
  • Although they are quoting nearly a week for delivery! I'd rather pay a few pounds more from my local supplier for a more immediate delivery date.

    McKernan Fuels - Dungannon yesterday. 500 gallon/2250 litres £779 ..... going to hold out for another couple of weeks.
  • Your mad getting any more than 2000 litres. The VAT rate increases to 15% after 2000. So therefore you will be paying 5% Vat on 1~2000 Litres and 15% on any amount above this. Found this out at work when we done the same.
