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 purchasing 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 these two group schemes is to take advantage of
the discount.

How it currently works
|
| |
Several times during the year Brian, the Oil Buying Group
Administrator, sends an email to members of the Group asking if they
wish to purchase oil. If you would like oil, then follow the link on
Brian's email and complete the order form. This ensures that your
order is automatically added to the order spreadsheet. Please note:
You can ask for a top-up or a fixed quantity, but it must be at
least the minimum order of 500 litres. Brian will advise receipt of
your order and the day it will be delivered. Payment for the oil is
made directly to the supplier.
If you have any questions about Joining the Group or need advice then please call Clive Just on 781967.

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.
