Before you buy oil read this.

Anyone thinking of buying heating oil from **golocateoil.com** be warned. They take your money and give you a delivery date. The oil does not arrive, you question them about the non delivery and you are told that they have had a problem with their supplier. You are asked to pay another £25.00 to guarantee a delivery. I had already paid and agreed a price which they did not honor. Even after paying the extra £25.00 i still didn't get my oil on the agreed new date. It eventually turned up four days later.
I contacted trading standards twice regarding this company and was told to ask for the £25.00 back because they were in breach of contract twice.
I've ask golocateoil.com for the extra £25.oo they had asked me for and i paid, to date they have not repaid any money or had the curtsey to reply to my recorded letter.

  • Seems that the website golocateoil.com has now gone.. Which is a good thing. We had a number of distress calls where this company had taken money supposedly for suppliers who in fact had no relationship with this company. Pleas be careful as this type of scam is likely to repeat itself. If a deal looks to good to be true.. It is not true at all.

    If a website cites a supplier check with the supplier that a trading relationship exists before you part with any of your money.

    I believe this is now live (not sure how long it's been live for) but you may notice it has the same trading address as the old firm.

    edit, Looks like this was the proper address
