“I signed up to pay monthly and Boilerjuice decided I should pay £57 per month. I paid by direct debit for the first month, then the day before the next instalment was due I found an email from them at about midnight saying that my monthly payment was being increased by £22 to £79 as “you have used more than expected”. I am the only person in this house and a pensioner. This was the January but the heating is not used all evening as I have a wood burner. I immediately cancelled the direct debit. As I had paid £250 to have the tank filled before I started the DD I asked for the £57 to be returned. Four months later they will not return the money because they say I have to pay a monthly “registration fee” for the next year. When I signed up NO REGISTRATION FEE WAS MENTIONED. They charged £14 for this fee and ARE CONTINUING TO TAKE IT EVEN THOUGH I CANCELLED DUE TO BOILERJUICE INCREASING THE COST WITHOUT NOTICE. They emailed to tell me late at night expecting me to be asleep! THEY ARE KEEPING MY £57 WITH A VERY FLIMSY EXCUSE”

Dear Giulia, Thank you for showing interest in our new service Connected, the email sent out regarding an increase in your monthly amount was based on the amount of heating oil you have used in the past. We can see by your past order history, the amount you stated for your annual use was much less than you have used in the past. To make sure you were covered for the whole year, we had to increase the monthly amount. There is a subscription charge with our Connected service which covers data monitoring and the benefits of having the service such as automatic top-ups and oil level monitoring. When signing up for the Connected service it is visible that there is a service charge on the “I” icon when the service options are shown. This text states “A standing charge of 20p a day will be added to your monthly payments (inc VAT.). This is to pay for the BoilerJuice Connected services.” When signing up to the Connected service we also explain and provide you with a breakdown of the monthly cost over a 12-month period at the check-out point. Therefore, by breaking the contract you are still needing to pay the registration fees. Our emails are sent either by an automated service or a customer service agent who handles enquiries. Some customer service agents are evening staff and answer customer enquiries during the evening period. We apologise if an email was sent to you late at night and can assure you, we are not purposely trying to disrupt our customers sleep in the hope they will not respond to our communications and we apologise if this caused any inconvenience. We can see on your account that you are in discussions with some team members regarding the situation stated in your review. Our team will continue to assist you and discuss this matter further with you.

“Terrible customer service! Didn't reply to my message until after my delivery finally came, then sent a message saying they have closed my query as delivery had been made! Messaged them again and had the same response again! First and last time I will use Boilerjuice.”

Dear Customer, We are sorry to see that your experience with BoilerJuice was not satisfactory. Our customer service team are working hard to answer all customer enquiries as quickly as they can however, we have seen an increase in customer enquiries which has meant our response times are longer than usual. We understand your frustration regarding the slower response times and are finding ways to improve the speed of responses during times of increased demand. We appreciate all customer feedback as this helps us create better experiences in the future.

“Have used for last 10 years but now wondering is they have gone bust or about to . My delivery was suspended due to technical reasons early march , issue fixed but can't get my delivery reinstated . They don't and answer emails and closed all other means of communications , They have my money and my oil , looks like their business is another victim of the virus . go direct and avoid losing money.”

Dear Customer, We apologise that there were technical issues with your order that resulted in your order being suspended. We have a brilliant developer team that work on fixing these issues as soon any happen and they were able to solve this quickly. Our customer service team are still working and are available to contact via our online customer enquiry form. We made the business decision to remove the phone lines for customer enquiries as our customer service team are working from home due to the Coronavirus due to the government's recommendations. We can assure you that our customer service team are working very hard to answer all customers, but we have seen an increase in enquiries which as led to longer response times. BoilerJuice is not going bust and we are working with more suppliers every year to help provide coverage to all areas of the U.K. We would never take customers money and not provide the service that has been paid for. From the order number that has been provided, we can now see that your oil has arrived however, it was delayed due to issues regarding the supplier. We thank you for providing a review and will use your feedback to help us improve in the future.

“Paid extra for earlier delivery understand that current virus problems are causing delays. However some form of communication would have been useful!! Not taking phone calls not responding to emails! Appalling customer service”

Helpful Report

Hello Carol, we apologise that your heating oil delivery did not arrive in the expected time frame. Some of our suppliers have been experiencing delays but are working hard to make sure all orders are delivered to our customers. Due to the increase in demand some suppliers not able to respond to our enquiries regarding new delivery dates for delayed orders as quickly as usual. This has resulted in longer response times and has impacted the time it can take to update our customers regarding new delivery dates. BoilerJuice have made the business decision to no longer take calls during this unprecedented time, this is due to the customer service team working from home which is recommended by the government. The customer service team are answering via email but we apologise that the response time for your email was longer than usual. Our customer service team have seen an increase in customer enquiries and are trying their best to answer everyone as quickly as they can. As there is no order number attached to this review, we are unable to comment on what the action was taken regarding the payment for early delivery. We apologise for your experience and will take all your feedback on board to improve our customer service standards in the future.

“Checking local suppliers 16.3.20 I found that this company is engaged in rampant profiteering. One company, The Heating Oil Club offered 1000 litres for £327 whilst BoilerJuice was £435. Stay way from them.”

“Follow up review.... Tuesday 17th. After 5 days no delivery of oil no response no reply to any emails despite their promise of a 48 response. Had to call again today. 5 phone calls to finally speak to an advisor to cancel my order! 5 days for refund couldn’t care less they are scammers taking money ... ordering oil from the cheapest company but what they don’t tell you is this. You need to wait until someone else in your area orders as well to keep the price down .... big fat scammers this company breaks all the rules it should be shut down ASAP. Avoid like the plaque please it’s stressful ordering.... So all in all they will have had my hard earned cash for almost 5 weeks and no sign of even a trickle of oil ...Shame on you scammers I’m reporting you today !!!!”

Dear Customer, We sincerely apologise that your oil did not arrive in the expected delivery window. For the last month, we have seen an increase in demand and also customer enquiries. Our phone lines before the Coronavirus were always a top priority and we had a range of customer service agents ready to take calls. We accept that there were longer waiting times on the phones than normal and that our response times via email had become slightly longer. All the staff here at BoilerJuice care about our customers and we can appreciate how stressful it can be not running low on heating oil. Regarding our website and how it works, we work with a range of suppliers who provide their best prices in our system. Our system will then compare all these prices and provide the customer with the lowest price. As you have stated, we do offer more discounts if people in your area also order. These discounts are available every day but we recommend people who are looking for bigger group discounts to buy on a weekend, as we will group over three days instead of one. We can assure your BoilerJuice is not breaking any rules, we are not scamming our customers and we are being transparent on how our discounts and website work. We apologise that your experience this time was not satisfactory and we will use all your feedback provided to improve our services.

“Waited beyond the expected delivery date this time. Still has not arrived. Have contacted them twice but not had a delivery date yet and our oil has nearly run out Have used Boilerjuice for over 20 years and always had good service. This will be the last time we order oil from boilerjuice”

Dear Customer, We sincerely apologise that your heating oil delivery did not arrive in the expected time frame. We value you as a customer and thank you for using us for such a long period of time. Unfortunately, some suppliers may occasionally experience delays which can be for a number of reasons such as drivers are sick, tankers have broken down or technical issues. We are working with our suppliers to help combat some of the issues that can cause delays. We want to make sure we work with the best, which is why our Suppliers Team at BoilerJuice are working closely together with suppliers to make sure we can offer customers the most reliable and trustworthy suppliers on our website. We thank you for taking the time to provide a review and we will use all our feedback to help us improve. We hope to maybe see you back as a BoilerJuice customer in the future.

“Absolutely don’t use this appalling joke of a company. Ordered oil as a new customer on 27th Feb total £295. Delivery confirmed for Thursday 12th March . No oil no response! It’s now the 14th March . No email explaining anything. When you call you are in a queue after 20 minutes they cut you off. Called today Saturday the advisor confirmed she couldn’t explain why my order hadn’t arrived then clarified she couldn’t confirm delivery until Monday . Any refund takes 3/5 working days . So still no oil no refund no confirmation of delivery. This is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with give them a huge body swerve . Took my money and ran how dare they this is theft ? Keep clear this is a genuine customer I’m so angry 😠.”

“Terrible, unresponsive customer service. Did not deliver oil until 10 days late with no contact and no explanation. No response to continued messaging via email and website contact form. Don’t answer phone, after 20 minutes on hold was cut off. Save yourself time and frustration and go elsewhere.”

“Quote from BoilerJuice was more than local suppliers. I ordered oil from a local supplier who was not only cheaper but delivered the oil a lot quicker, two days. Then got numerous emails from boilerjuice asking why I didn't order with them. Strangley the "unsubcribe" button in the email didn't work, had to phone them to get off their list. Moral is ......... go direct to a local supplier, only three quick phone calls got a cheaper quote, afterall BoilerJuice has to get it's money from somewhere because they don't sell oil they're just agents. It is in the local suppliers interest to give you a good service.”

“Disgusted with boiler juice. They used to provide a good service with prompt delivery. Now the last two times they have failed delivery times, and then make excuses that the drivers can't find you, despite the fact that you have had oil deliveries for years and years. Will not be using them again.”

“I have had a number of issues with this company and each time say I will not use them again but do in hope the it was just a odd error. I place my order paid extra for it to be delivered early on Friday 6th March as we were about to run out. Order did not come on Friday had a message from oil company NWF saying the order would come on sat but gave no reason as to why it was late. sat no delivery Sunday No delivery Monday and Tuesday no oil tank now dry no heating😡 I have emailed a few times left messages and not a call back saying sorry or what’s gone wrong. Tonight had a generic message saying will have oil delivered on Wednesday 🤔 nothing about why it’s late or the offer of a refund or discount. They need to learn the basics of Good Customer Service.

They delivered our oil to our neighbour by mistake although the delivery details were correct, took our money, left us without heating and refused to help us or answer our questions. Please save yourself grief and do not order from them , they do not care about customer service .”
