Oil erdered and delivered within 48 hours. You can't beat that for service. On a down side spent 15 minutes arguing with a computer while trying to order oil. Sooner you go back to a human that answers the better. Seriously thought of going to another supplier just because of this.

Never let customers run out of oil.

Never let customers run out of oil.

If you receive an order for regularly timed oil orders, for specific amounts of litres , to which you have agreed, do not change either the delivery dates or the amounts of litres without contacting the customer.

I have experienced both the above recently.

I’m going through a tough time just now with my parents (1 receiving Palliative Care). I cancelled my oil order but realised I had made a mistake. Phoned the company & they did everything.

Good pricing and delivery... but caused massive problems when my application for Oil Allowance was authorised. I nearly lost out on this much needed allowance!
Very stressful experience.
Thanks to person handling my order this was eventually resolved.

Everything good

Everything good - advanced notice of delivery , always on time, careful driver up tricky drive, helpful driver.
The only flaw is the unavailability of emergency fill ups!
