Bulk LPG - Cheapest suppliers / supply route?

]Good news, Woldlink have advised June pricing at 27.89ppl + 5% VAT for those on monthly pricing schedule. This is down over 3ppl from May level. This is in stark contrast to the petrol/diesel pricing levels recently.
Indeed, very good news. That probably makes LPG nearly as cheap to run as mains gas, and certainly cheaper than oil.0 -

Our Asda store recently dropped the drice of diesel by 3ppl. Petrol was reduced too, but not sure by how much.
Other local supermarkets were forced to follow suit. :money:0 -
LPG prices for July advised at 32.27ppl +5% VAT for those on monthly pricing schedule, up from 27.89ppl last month.0

For people looking for a real world price.
I have just secured a new 2 year deal with Flogas for 33p/L for year 1, 35.5p/L for year 2. Plus £85 + 5% VAT standing charge for an underground tank.
This was as a new customer (moving into a new property) currently supplied by Flogas. I had initially moved to Avanti (who offered 33p/L / 36p/L plus £100 + 5% VAT standing charge) but Flogas called me 2 days after switching with the new offer.
This is in the Oxfordshire area.

We're currently surveying the market, having been with Flogas for 6 years (negotiating hard every 2 years). Currently paying a not-too-unreasonable 35p/L (it was 27.8p/L in year 1 including the cash back given).
So far, for the next two years, we have (prior to any negotiation)
Calor: 38p/L start. 3.5p/L increase every 3 months, so ending 2 years on 66p/L
Flogas: 37p/L for year 1. 49p/L for year 2.
Avanti: 33p/L for year 1. 3p/L increase every 6 months in year 2 so ending on 39p/L.
HBS (local): flat rate of 45p/L for the two years
All bar Flogas can increase over those caps based on price of gas rather than operational costs and I know none will increase less than that cap....
Looks like I'll have to negotiate really hard this time around....0 -

I've been using HBS for several years now. Our buying club in the village (15 of us) have secured a price of 30ppl for the past 4 years. We are only 4 miles from their depot though!
Perhaps you could talk to your neighbours?0 -

I'm in Fife and had similar quotes, not nearly as good as 2 years ago.
Calor - 36p/L variable for 2 years or 38p/L fixed for 2 years.
Avanti: 33p/L for year 1. 3p/L increase every 6 months.
Awaiting a quote from Flogas still.
I've previously had a better offer from Calor once I'd submitted the tank transfer paperwork with Avanti.0 -
I live on the Llŷn Peninsula and I’m due for my Contract Renewal with Calor. So in the meantime I’ve been shopping around for quotes before I had an answer from Calor.
The first offer was by Avanti, who offered me 34ppl fixed for 1 year (+5% VAT) then variable for the 2nd year. £66 standing charge.
Flogas offered me 34ppl fixed for 1 year and then the price wouldn’t increase more than 3p during the 2nd year. £60 standing charge.
Calor then came with an offer of decreasing from my current 41ppl to 36ppl and capped for 6 months. Variable thereafter. I felt this offer was a joke, so I’ve emailed them back asking if they can match or beat the other offers I’ve been given. This was a week ago and yet no reply.0 -
I emailed Avanti and said my usage was higher than I was quoted for initially - 3400 l/year which I think is about right.
They improved their offer to 31p/l fixed for 12 months then max 3p/l increase in a 6 month period. So I've asked to proceed with that.0
