Just phoned Bangor Fuels their advertised price on their web site this morning was 500 ltrs for £212 - so I phoned them to order and was told the price was £215, "the guy that does the web site wasnt in yet" - they wouldnt honour their price advertised. So I didnt buy, big thumbs down for Bangor Fuels - ordered from Boiler Juice instead £215.25 - plus possible discount during buying weekend.

I ordered 500 litres through Thompson online for 220 last night at about 11.

In this moring they reached my home. I hadn't thought they would act so promptly.

My parents were quoted one price from our regular supplier, when arived, they tried to stick an extra £10, they just said could get it cheaper elsewhere, and got for that price.

Only thing I don't like about boiler juice, you don't know what company your oil's coming from - could be any supplier

why would that be a problem ... most companies draw from the same tanks anyway .. assuming you order basic 28sec it doesn't matter where it comes from .. just as long as it arrives

How long can my oil boiler (MYSON, low power, I think) run with 500 litres if it opens 8 hours per day?

Thanks.

Just rang around this morning for oil, 500l.

I live in Antrim

Stephen Morris £220
Richard Lee £225
Kelly Fuels £231
Redon £224
Riverside Oils quoted £235 but came down to £220 after a bit of haggling.

I had to order, down to the last inch:eek: .

I found the posts on this thread very useful in my hunt for heating oil at the lowest price. I am posting my findings in the hope that it will help someone else.

I live in Bangor town centre and I ordered 900 litres of 28 second. I must say, all the people I spoke to on the phone were bright, friendly and very professional.

I settled for Clandeboye fuels as I have used them for my past 4 refills and they came joint cheapest with Bangor Fuels. I rang Maxoldirect but they came top at £407 - when I told the lady this she spoke to her supervisor who said they would match it but could not beat it. They just lost a potential new customer.

Clandeboye £373 (028 91478581) :T
Bangor £373 (028 91477795)
Ritchie £385 (028 91812608)
Hyland £385 (028 90483663)
Maxoldirect £407 (028n90848586) :mad:

Just some companies can mix oil with other stuff. I just prefer to know what company I'm getting from and their reputation, that's all

PLUS some companies have been known to deliver less than what is on the document stamped by the pump! Do Boilerjuice vet the suppliers or it it down to the % paid to Boilerjuice?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how can you easily tell if you've been "short-oiled"?
