The four star reviews have to be FAKE as this company are useless!!! There is no customer service no functional complaints department.

Hi Paul, yes the company is closed for 6 months. You have a strong history of writing one star reviews wo good reason - maybe you should consider the unfair stress you may be placing on small business owners. Shame on you. James

Painless setup process

Painless setup process, instant feedback (even at 23:45 on a Sunday night ;) ) and I just saved £37 on 500 litres, twice - Awesome...

Thank you for the review, and I appreciate the compliment. I don't have your name, but I trust you'll mention to your friends that we always have the BEST prices, and now we have pay-monthly scheme too - so there is no need to be tied to a single supplier anymore.

Welcome Niall, and thanks for the review. Obvs, energy prices are going crazy, and we are somewhat bucking the trend - thanks for getting involved, and remember we now have a pay-monthly scheme, so mention that to your mates. Till next time, James

Teresa, thanks - yes, this was a very strong Fuel Round - savings of £40 will become the norm as our bills rise (not sure if that is a good thing, or a bad thing!! You get what I mean). I think that should see you through the winter

Fuel Round is fantastic

The Fuel Round oil is cheaper, and it helps the neighbours to get cheaper oil too, not just us. You can order quite small amounts at a time if you want, so it cuts down on the scary trade in heating oil bought in small cans from garages etc, which looks unsafe to me. Small oil suppliers get a fair deal, as well as customers. There is no profit so all gains go back into the oil buying club. Communication is by email and phone and is always prompt, human and engaged. No automated phone menu robots.

Super Grainne, thanks for that great review and thanks for mentioning the human element to the service. I'd love to get everyone away from the oil cans, as that is so, so expensive. Also, I had noticed a cluster in your locality, of which you were one of the first - thanks for talking about Fuel Round. James

Great to hear from you Deirdre, and thanks for the great review. You mention a good point, delivery times and price is nearly always much, much better than we promise, as we always aim to exceed expectations. Speak soon, James

Thanks Majella for those kind words - yes, I love to squeeze a few quid off the heating bill. Helps for Christmas, I guess. Also, you know we have a draw for 200 litres of heating oil? https://fuelround.co.uk/competition/

Thank you Chris, great having you with us. Its been a very tricky time getting prices for heating oil, due to the crisis, but we managed to get a small local company to beat the nationals - that is good for you, Fuel Round and our community. Thanks for doing your part. James

Yes indeed Mary, a small effort to pull in the same direction, has been delivering great prices. And with the Fuel Round website, that is even easier. Thanks for being one of our first customers ever, and thanks for the review. James
