BULK LPG PRICING FOR AUGUST 2017
New pricing from Woldlink advised as 25.81PPL +5% VAT, up slightly from 24.63PPL in July.0 -
Flogas are a joke of a company to deal with. Customer service if you can call it that is absolutely shocking. They have somehow managed to get an 8.5 on trust pilot.0

Renewal time again.
History:
Calor 2013 - 45p/l, 16.9p/day, £150 intro bonus. We've used about 3,000 litres in two years, just shy of £1,400 all in.
Calor 2015 renewal quote... 38p/l yr1, 41p/l yr2, 17.3p/day, £100 renewal bonus. Roughly £1,275.
Extrafuel 2015 - 29p/l 12mo fix (max 4p/2nd yr), £60/yr, £250 bonus. Roughly £790.
So...
Extrafuel 2017 renewal quote - 31.5p/l yr1, 35p/l yr2, 16.43p/day, £0 bonus. Roughly £1,120.
Lister - Not listed as supplying here (HR3) any more on UKLPG.
Callow - no reply to quote request via webform, email bounced, phone number not recognised.
Countrywide - "About 34p/l, but we don't discuss prices over the phone - you can do that at the site survey".
Flogas - 36.5p/l yr1, uncapped* market rate yr2, 17.2p/day, £0 bonus. Roughly £1,360.
Cardiff - 36p/l currently, uncapped market rate throughout**, 20p/day, £0 bonus. Roughly £1,350. No contract period.
Avanti - 29.9p/l yr1, 32.9p/l yr2, 17.2p/day, £100 bonus. Roughly £970.
Calor - 33p/1 yr1, 36.5p/l yr2, 17.3p/day, £250 bonus. Roughly £920.
* - I'm assuming 45p/l for yr2.
** - I'm assuming the current rate as an average for yr1, with 45p/l yr2.
Looks like back to Calor, then. Switching/retention bonuses are clearly on the way out.
Callow eventually got back to me - 36p/l yr 1, +/-2p cap yr2, no bonus.0 -

Interesting that Countrywide would not give you a price over the phone. This is a requirement that was made compulsory by the Competition Commission (See here https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/348295/Domestic_bulk_LPG_Market_Investigation_Order.pdf)19.3 A supplier shall make available via a telephone enquiry point quotes for the supply of domestic bulk LPG to a customer, such quotes to be provided in pounds sterling and pence per litre0 -

HI
We had LPG tank installed 3 years ago through Calor and the service and cost has been abominable!
Out of contract now and refusing to sign on again as they won't give us any better than 52ppl. We really need to switch to save some money but not sure which suppliers are in the South West.
I am going through the companies on AdrianC's post but wondered how to get such a good deal?
Prices seem to fluctuate depending on who you talk to at each company and I want to know what I'm doing wrong that we never seem to get offered a half decent deal.
Any advice appreciated.0 -

- Calor will usually match other quotes if you phone them and ask for sales.
- But please, do try Woldlink... speak to them on the phone, they are such nice folk to talk to. Just google woldlink. Get your other quotes first then phone themIf what I said helped you, please "Thank" the relevant post. It cheers me up somewhat..0 -
Entirely agree with the above re Woldlink. In the end they couldn't match the price Flogas offered me via LPG Save (even though, as the regulars know, Woldlink source their gas from Flogas) but I have to say Woldlink is the only totally honest LPG supplier I've ever come across.0

Fully agree, with Calor they were pushing the price up all the time and you had to argue with them constantly. Woldlink do that for you (with Flogas) and that is worth something to me.
I do however wonder about the current Woldlink 6mth pricing.. it is 36.95p/l whereas their monthly pricing, no longer available to new customers, is 25.81p as stated above - a big difference and I think they must have let Flogas shaft them when that price was agreed. It runs until 30 September and I am holding out until then, before ordering any ..If what I said helped you, please "Thank" the relevant post. It cheers me up somewhat..0
