Prompt and Efficient Despite the Current Struggles

After searching for prices and prompt delivery, Home Fuels came out top. Their website is easy to navigate and, so far, all has been brilliant and efficient.

true measure of a company is when there is a problem

You think a company is great because the price is right and the delivery time is good, but the true measure of a company is when there is a problem. I have now had a problem and they have become a nightmare company to deal with, they delivered the heating oil to the next door neighbour's, they admitted responsibilty but after many phone calls and e-mails they have still have not resolved the problem, it has now got to the stage I will have to move to the small claims court to resolve this, so if you think a company is great. You recommend that all your neighbours and friends use them, hold off until they have a problem and see how they resolve it. In this case, it's been terrible; they say it will be resolved, then they just ignore their promises. Luckily, I had enough money to pay and reorder another 1000 litres, or I would still have no heating today. You need a reliable company, especially in the winter when you need them the most, but not HomeFuels Direct.
UPDATE 25/03/2025
In the end, Jill Miles from customer relations was like a "dog with a bone" and sorted it all out, and all was resolved. If only more companies had a "Jill Miles".

Took money and didn't deliverWhat do you do when

What do you do when, you order, pay for it, they say it's been delivered and it hasn't and a week later you still can't speak or get in touch with a single person. I'd call this theft! It's outrageous. You email, FB, message, nothing. I'll never use an oil company I can't simply pick up the phone too. WHERE IS MY OIL!

Over-inflated prices

Watched the price in our area go up from 58p to 130p in our area over the last 2 weeks- understand there are issues in the Gulf, but why so quick to raise prices and not quick to reduce them, feels like you and other companies are taking advantage. You need a better strategy to smooth peaks and troughs in oil prices and better reserve management and delivery restrictions- at one point in the last week it was almost easier and as expensive to get diesel from my local garage than get your heating oil!!

DO NOT USE

I placed my order on the 1st with the allocated delivery date on the 9th. No sight or sound of it. No update on their web dashboard since the 2nd. No contact number available on their website. No option to cancel. No reply to emails.

This should be a warning to anyone like me, who chose or are thinking of choosing this organisation over a local supplier which is marginally more expensive. Interestingly, said local supplier has held their pricing through these ‘unprecedented times’ and are offering to deliver as soon as we like. Too bad my money is tied up with HomeFuels Direct.

DO NOT USE

Honoured original quote

I ordered heating oil on 27 February, just before the start of the attack on Iran. It is being delivered today, on 11 March, at the original price although oil prices have risen drastically in that period. Our neighbours ordered oil on the same day but from a different supplier and had their order cancelled a few days later and were told they could order again but at double the price. Well done to HomeFuels Direct for showing integrity and looking after loyal customers. Thank you.

Our go to Home Fuel retailer

Our go to Home Fuel retailer. Best prices, prompt delivery period of 2 weeks given but we received our delivery in 8 days of ordering. Price quoted was what we paid. There were stories of other retailers cancelling individual orders of their customers then proffering their same product at vastly inflated prices because of Iran conflict. Yes prices have gone up everywhere but I was fortunate that I ordered at the right time. Delivery driver was friendly and considerate of our property when delivering…less than 5 minutes job done. Will buy via HFD in the future.

First order with home fuels direct

First order with home fuels direct. I had a text to let me know when my oil would be delivered, it never arrived but no email or text or anything to let me know. I’ve emailed twice since to find out what’s happening and when it will be delivered but not even the courtesy of a reply. So I’m £460 down and no oil (which is now running really low) and no idea when it will arrive. I would not order from them again.

Hopeless compared to their competitors

Appreciate there are big issues going on at the moment but having accepted my order on 3rd March I haven’t heard anything since that date, nothing has been updated on their website site more of most annoyance is the fact they do not reply to any emails made through their website.
I would appreciate a message saying there is no news but their incompetence at even replying is staggering. And of course you cannot speak to an individual.
Useless and will not be using again.
