No  Call Centres here –  Speak To A Real Human Being

Hopefully you will have had the experience to know that we are not a large, corporate company call centre. We are an independent business with a small, friendly office of dedicated, hardworking and genuine staff waiting to be of service to you.

Quality and Service

We can give you reassurance that the products we supply are of the highest quality from market leading suppliers – whether that be fuel, tanks, lubricants, additives or accessories.

You also need to be sure that you are going to receive your order promptly as expected, at a time that suits you.

We hear horror stories all the time of customers who have waited and waited and waited for their delivery, with broken promises and not being able to get hold of anyone to get a definitive answer on a delivery date. In our eyes, THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH and not how a loyal customer deserves to be treated.

Our delivery is up to 5 days as standard and in most cases Next Day. And if you have been caught short, we will do our utmost to get a delivery to you SAME DAY if at all possible!

We want you to know that we’ll be there for you.

Honest and Fair Pricing

With oil prices currently very high, filling your heating oil tank has become a costly expense.

We understand how important it is to ensure we give you the best price possible and while we can’t always promise to be the cheapest, we can promise to be transparent and fair at all times and as one of our loyal customers, we can promise to always give you a privileged second to none service – especially in difficult times of fuel shortages or inclement weather.

Again, we constantly hear horror stories of people who have been consistently overcharged  – mostly by the larger, corporate, national fuel suppliers who ‘rob Peter to pay Paul’ and will give one customer an exceptionally low price and to make up for it will give the next customer an exceptionally high price. It predominately seems to be the long standing, loyal customers who don’t ask the price who are being given the extortionate prices. We are not talking a difference of 2 or 3p per litre, more like 10-15ppl more and in some cases we have heard of 20p per litre higher than the current market prices. Now while this may not bother you if you are one of the customers receiving the cheaper prices but this is neither fair nor honest and it is something we will never do. Our integrity is worth much more to us and we believe in treating others as we would wish to be treated.

Accountability if anything does go wrong

We are only human and on the very rare occasion that we do get something wrong, we want you to be assured that your issue will be dealt with and rectified as soon as possible to your satisfaction. That’s why any complaint is referred directly to one of the company directors from the start – Our reputation is very important to us and we will always do our best to put it right 😊 In the very unlikely event that there is something you are unhappy with please call or email James Ferguson on 01756 691222 / james@unitedfuels.co.uk
