Discount Schemes
Purchase your
central heating oil
as part
of an oil group and
save
money!
|
 |
|
By making a bulk
purchase of central heating oil, normally a tanker load of 4500
litres, it is possible to make savings on the cost of heating oil. Oil companies will give a discount if they can
deliver a tanker load of oil to several addresses in the same
community. The aim of the two group schemes is to take advantage of
the discount.

How it works |
| |
When
you need your oil tank topping up go to the Heating Oil Group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/felmersham,
click onto "Post" (in the left hand panel) and complete the "Post
Message" form by stating how much oil you need, when you need it and
whether you are happy to make up and place an order.
Anyone else who needs oil at the same time will then send you an
email with their requirements. If you do not want to do the ordering
then those responding will need to say whether they are happy to do
it or not. If no one wants to order then each person makes their own
arrangements.
Hopefully one person will collect the orders and get a quote
then get confirmation that people are happy to proceed by emailing
the price and delivery date back to the group and finally placing
the order. Each customer will be billed individually and they pay
the oil company directly.
It might sound complicated but shouldn't be.
If you have any questions or need advice then please call Clive
Just on 781967.
Please Note: The Heating Oil Group and the
Felmersham Forum
share the same group. So membership of one automatically gives you
membership of the other. |

Radwell Heating
Oil Group |
Radwell also has a Bulk Buying Syndicate for Heating Oil which is
co-ordinated by Paul Keeble (782134) and Val Horrell (782140) but it is managed
differently to the Felmersham scheme.
Currently the Group has around 20 members who join together twice
or three times a year to purchase oil in bulk and therefore get a competitive
price. When an order is about to be placed residents are asked whether they want a set
amount oil (say 400 litres) or approximately how many litres they need for a
top up. Generally 15,000 to 18,000 litres are ordered by the
syndicate.
Each householder is invoiced by the supplier (usually Conquest Oil
Company) and the householder pays the bill. It is reckoned that a saving of £50
a year can be obtained from the average bill by buying in bulk. New members, who
live in Radwell, are welcomed and should contact either Paul or Val. |
