  • FWIW, quite often I am getting emails from Boiulerjuice offering me reduced priced oil as they are doing other delievries in my area, but cannily, they won't give a price unless I order! When I get a quote through Boilerhuice normally they are consistently vastly more expensive than heatingoil.co.uk. I have never found anyone any cheaper as yet

  • Tell me who you deliver for so as I can make a note never to use them then!

    Btw, I don't put it down to luck, but rather good customer service and management.

    If you get a delivery the very next day all the time, no matter what time of year or weather conditions you are lucky(or you know the boss) I do not know any company(in my industry) that can deliver service like that all year round especially at this time of year & with the weather we have had, i think your talking bull meself:p
    if i had known then what i know now

    I think (iirc) that you can go online and place and order to get the price - but you dont have to go confirm

    Mind its been a few years since I last used boilerjuice so they may have changed their site

    That will be a NO then! :confused:

    As I said before, but will repeat for your benefit, it has little to do with luck. My modus operandi is as follows:
    Check first thing in the morning to ascertain the 'going rate' for the quantity I require.
    Phone a supplier I use and (i) get them to at least price-match and (ii) ensure they can deliver the following day, at the latest.
    If they can't do both, then I move on to another supplier.
    There is an ever growing number of suppliers out there at the moment and most will, in my experience, do their utmost to meet my requirements as they value my custom. Of course, there are others who, I would suggest, are getting it too easy and adopt a more cavalier and offhand approach.

    I live in Belfast and not some rural outback, so there has never been a problem irrespective of the time of year or weather conditions and for you to accuse me of mendacity is, quite frankly, undignified and disrespectful and reflects badly on you.

    I placed an order with Boilerjuice for 900 litres of home heating oil on Friday 18th December 2009 and I paid for it at the same time with my debit card. When I placed the order it was supposed to be delivered within 3-4 working days which means I should have received it on Wednesday 23rd or Thursday 24th December 2009 but I didn't.

    The company who are supposed to be delivering the oil is Nicholl Oils. :mad:

    I am delighted to be able to say that I received my oil delivery today, :j four weeks but one day since I placed the order! :eek:

    The driver said Boilerjuice was owned by Nicholl Oils.
