Bulk LPG - Cheapest suppliers / supply route?

Hi Molokoid,
I moved into my present house at about this time last year. It has a propane tank which belongs to Calorgas. They were aware of the change of ownership as the previous owner had informed them that he had sold the property. We Contacted them soon after moving in to let them know that we were happy to carry on receiving our propane from them at the current price of .36 ppl. All was fine until about a month ago when we got a letter saying that they were increasing the price from .36 ppl to .48 ppl. I am not prepared to pay .48 ppl as this is more than the autogas that I run my car on. I have told Calorgas that I dont want the tank filled anymore until the price that they wish to charge me comes down to an afordable level. By telling them this I have left the ball very much in their court. Either they want my money and custom or they dont. Its upto them. I intend to alter the supply so that I will be able to choose to use either the propane in the tank or 47kg propane gas bottles. The price of the 47kg gas bottles varies widely and to make a substantial saving I needed to purchase 10 or more 47kg bottles at a time so I had to make sure that they would deliver. As it stands now I dont have a contract with Calorgas and I certainly would not want one until the new rules come into force next April. They would then have to be a lot more competitive with other suppliers for me to want to sign up with them. I have no doubt that Calorgas and all the other suppliers will soon work out ways to get around the new rules as the other utility companies have done. Between them they have kept the regulators on their toes and the regulators have found it hard to keep up as we know. Im located in Wisbeach and the Calorgas office that I deal with is located in Leicester. Where abouts are you located and where abouts is the Calorgas office that you talking to.

Cheers.

Hi,
I would just like to update people to my dispute with calorgas. After sending a few emails and receiving a few back I was offered £25.00 as a goodwill gesture. I sent an email back refusing this gesture of goodwill and I asked for the name and contact number for my area rep. I received an email back that said " I have had a word with the Rep who would like your contact number so as he can contact you please ". I sent back an email with my telephone number and then waited. A few days later I got a call in the early eavening from the area rep. He told me that he had got a message to contact me, but he said that he had not been told why. Wow, aint that strange. Anyway I explained that I had received a letter from Calorgas last month that stated the price that I am paying was to increase from 35.16 ppl to 48.90 ppl. I told him that I had been emailing a person at Calorgas to try and sort things out, but I was getting nowhere. Without anymore explaining he said that the price of lpg had recently dropped and that he would speak to that person and tell them to carry on charging me at the old price for the time being. He went on to say that he did not know how long they would be able to charge me 35.15 ppl and that I should fully expect the price to go up in the near future. What would you all make of that. Today I saw that a barrel of oil had fallen to around $40.00 a barrel. Not withstanding this I already knew that the price of lpg had fallen as I keep an eye on the price of autogas. He agreed to send me written confomation that there would be no price increase and that I would still be charged 35.15 ppl. To day I got an account statement from Calorgas showing a £25.00 credit. Remember that goodwill gesture that I refused. I am now waiting for the letter that should confirm that I will still be charged 35.15 ppl. I dont think that I will be able to contain myself if I am made to wait too long. If I do get this letter then Im quids in for Chrismas.
That will make a change. Until next April then.

Thanks.
