“I just want to thank everyone on here who were completely honest with their reviews. And I am sincerely sorry you had to experience this anger & frustration with your hard earned $. I was surfing online to find the cheapest oil service possible, since it's close to the holidays & up pops BJ services which offers almost $40 cheaper than any other services in my area. I was a little skeptical, & was just about to call, when I said to myself, "wait, let's see if there's any reviews online." The first review website had alot of reviews & they averaged about 4.2 out of 5 stars, but the reviews seem very generic, non-personal , & frankly, fake. Just like every single response they give to people on here, who leave a negative review. They are practically copy & paste templates &, they just fill in the blanks. There is no sincerity, no actual effort suggesting they are going to remedy the issue, no action taken, no number or name offered to have you contact. Just basically, " hey sorry bout your luck." Unreal!!!!! Anyway, then I found this website & read your personal experiences here. I can't begin to express my sincere gratitude & appreciation from saving me the aggravation, frustration, headache & money. I barely have any $ (this endemic has wiped me out) & even less oil, but I have to have oil to stay alive & warm & protect my loved ones. If I would've gave up my last few dollars to deal with this service, it might've lead to something terrible, who knows, anxiety attack, nervous break down, heart attack/stroke, there's no way to tell. I was just able to scrape up enough money for heating oil & the meter is at almost zero. So there is NO WAY in the pit of Hades will I be using BJ's services, now or ever. As for BJ, SHAME ON YOU!!!!! I know almost everyone on this planet knows what it's like not to have heat, whether temporarily or long term. It is absolutely terrifying, almost painful. If you know people are SUFFERING & your only objective is to rip them off, get out of this business. This is not the business to do that. You are playing with families lives. Especially the vulnerable, like children & the elderly. It wont be long before you have lawsuits on your hands. Save people the pain & suffering. Find another scam. If you are human at all & you know what it's like to NOT have heat, stop doing this. As humans this is one of the very few necessities we must have to survive & it brings comfort & joy in our lives, don't rob people of that. In fact, a few days before my my mom passed away she said "turn up the heat, it's cold in here," I said "Mom, I'm trying to save you money." Without skipping a beat she replied, "there are very few things in life that truly bring people comfort, nobody likes being cold, when I was a kid we could barely touch the thermostat, now I spend the extra money & live warm, comfortable & happy, heat is one of the very few things you should splurge on." She was absolutely right. Don't be stingy with the heat, keep your families warm, enjoy that commodity, there aren't many things that are enjoyable as staying warm, I think sometimes we just take it for granted. And once again, as for BJ....well......... BJ might as well be Satan in my eyes. And I'm sure there will be plenty of heating oil where these people are going. Well YOU got US to PAY for it, so enjoy it BJ!!!!! It's gonna be really really REALLY hot where you are going. And thats eternal.”

Dear I.M.Fuego, We are sorry to see you have given BoilerJuice a one-star rating. BoilerJuice are on multiple review websites and we have dedicated staff to make sure we respond to any negative reviews. We can assure you, the 60,000+ reviews (4.7* rating out of 5*) on another review site are all genuine and written by customers who have used our services. Our customer's reviews are very important to us, including negative ones, as this helps us improve customer experiences in the future. With any business, issues can unfortunately arise and it is our top priority to fix anything that may cause a customer to not a five-star experience as soon as possible. Even though some of the responses to reviews may not publicly state the steps that have been taken to resolve the issues, our team are always working behind the scenes to provide a resolution. We understand how reviews can affect the opinions of others and we respect that some customer may choose to not use our services. However, we politely ask individuals to write reviews based on their personal experience of using BoilerJuice before completing a review. We thank you for taking the time to write a review and we take your comments on board.

“Absolutely shocking standards. We ordered 1000 litres of poke on 4th October and were due a delivery on or before 16th October. Over 2 weeks past our delivery date BoilerJuice have taken our money and failed to deliver. We have called every single day, to chase our delivery to be promised a call back from a manager which NEVER happens. My husband has heart disease and we are about to run out of oil. Disgraceful behaviour from a company that clearly doesn’t care. Do not use!!!!”

We are unable to respond back to the specifics regarding the issues that you have experienced due to no details provided on this review that matches our systems. We are sincerely sorry that your delivery did not arrive in the requested timeframe and that the customer service team did not respond back to your enquiries promptly.

Unfortunately, delays can happen for a range of reasons such as sickness, tanker breakdown, technical issues and harsh weather conditions. Once again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your feedback. We will use your feedback to improve customer experiences in the future.

“Placed order 3 Oct for delivery on or before 16 Oct. Received order confirmation and money was taken out of our account. No communication in the interim period, but trusted them. On morning of 16th got a bit worried. Called the company who were supplying and we are not on the list. Empty oil tank. Waiting to hear when we will get our oil. Very unreliable and will never use again.”

Dear Daniel, We are sorry to see that there were issues regarding your delivery not arriving in the expected time frame. Unfortunately, this supplier was experiencing unexpected resource issues which led to a delay with your order. A team leader has attempted to call you on 9th October to discuss your delivery and to offer a personal apology for your experience. We understand your frustration and accept that the communications between the supplier and BoilerJuice could have been better regarding this situation. Our supply team are working on building stronger methods of communication, we are also in the process of creating a system that reduces these issues. We can assure you we take late deliveries very seriously and we will be in touch with the supplier to discuss this further. A customer service team member will be in contact with you as we would like to speak to you regarding the issues and solutions we can provide. We apologise that your experience was not satisfactory and we use your feedback to improve customer experiences in the future.

“The price was 60% of that quoted on the same day by my (ex) regular supplier. I thought I could put up with a little bit of hassle to save that much. But I didn't have to. The delivery was exactly as promised.”

Dear Gary, We are sorry to see that you have left us a 1-star rating regarding the Connected Service. Since writing this review we have spoken to you regarding the issues you have experienced. Once investigating, we uncovered that the direct debit needed to activate the service was not completed. We apologise if the communications about the direct debit were unclear and we will be looking to improve the clarity of our instructions to help with future sign-ups and activation processes. We hope that now this has been resolved, you are pleased with the Connected Service you have received so far and we look forward to providing you with hassle-free heating.

“Ordered oil to be delivered by Friday 2nd Oct, paid then got email to confirm delivery. Had email on the 1st to remind delivery date. Sadly no oil delivery tuned up. In the late afternoon. Phoned Boiler Juice. Got through after holding on for 15 minutes. After listening to how good, efficient and cost effective the service is. Sadly this as not been the case. I was told when I finally got to speak to some one. That the oil I ordered to be delivered by the 2nd will not be delivered until Monday 5th October. I Have now received oil this. afternoon not before oil I did have ran out. I have just contacted plumber to bleed the system due to the incompetence of Boiler Juice. I should have learnt my lesson the time before last when the company done exactly the same thing then. I have truly learnt from this. First time I see as error, sadly this is bad practice. No care or consideration for customers. Wouldn’t use this company again. Terrible service and totally unreliable can’t think of any thing good to say about them.”

“Very poor service - I paid extra for a faster delivery but the oil did not arrive. I should be refunded that extra cost but it is impossible to get through to them to complain, just left on hold endlessly. Tried again today for over 20 minutes only to get a recorded message saying no agents available and to try later - unbelievable. Why would I ever use this compNy again.”

Dear Patricia, We are sorry to see that you have given us a 1-star rating. Since writing your review we have been in touch. We have looked further into the reasons why your delivery was late. Unfortunately, the supplier had unexpected resource issues, which resulted in some of their delivers being delayed.

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We apologise that your first experience with BoilerJuice was not a satisfactory one. We are sorry to see that there have been issues regarding your delivery and we understand your frustrations. We have been experiencing higher volumes of calls recently, which is why we have opened other channels to contact our customer service agents. It's a priority that our customers can contact us if they need too, our online chat on our website and email are alternatives we provide when the phone lines are busy. We apologise one of our team members were not available to answer your call to assist you straight away, we are working on reducing response times as we don't want any of our customer waiting. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with a more in-depth response to your experience as there are no details provided in your review. We hope that with the changes we are making such as hiring more staff, training schemes and opening alternative contact channels, we can improve future customer experiences.

“Great service and good price I use Boiler juice to supply my oil an my elderly neighbour Have used six times an no problem SMS message from driver is very useful. B Samuel”

“My oil was not delivered and the driver claimed there was a cracked tank - there is NOT. The tank gets checked regularly and this has never been flagged up before/ I have checked and taken a picture of where there is a ridge in the plastic but no crack. I would know! My biggest complaint is that I was not notified as a matter of urgency by the driver - he texts me to tell me he is due to deliver but not to tell me he has failed to deliver. Why? I was not at the property again until two days later and now I am back to an empty tank, potentially causing damage to my expensive regularly serviced boiler. Trauling back through email messages I find Boiler Juice sent me a message - which ended up in my spam - telling me of this problem, but again, why not give me a call to alert me? An empty oil tank causes damage to expensive boilers, not to mention inconvenience of no water or heating. Very disappointed in this lazy/ inconsiderate driver... most of my experiences previously have been good, but BoilerJuice has some weak links in the supply chain I'm afraid.”

Dear Helen, We are sorry to see that your experience was not satisfactory this time. Our suppliers have a responsibility to make sure that they do not top-up any oil tank that they believe to be unsafe, this is due to the suppliers being liable for an oil spill. We understand your frustrations with communication, as stated in your review BoilerJuice did contact via email to inform you of the safety concerns with your tank which resulted in an attempted delivery. We acknowledge that an extra form of communication from the suppliers or BoilerJuice could have notified you of an issue with your delivery sooner and we will look further into this option. We apologise that your email went into spam, we are investigating deliverability of our emails to make sure this does not happen again. Your feedback is valuable and we can assure you customer satisfaction is a top priority. We have dedicated team members in BoilerJuice that focus on improving customer experiences and provide feedback to all departments. We appreciate that you have taken the time to write a review and thank you for your honesty. We once again apologise for your experience and we hope to see you back as a BoilerJuice customer in future.

Dear Pete, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review on Reviews.io. We apologise that your experience was not satisfactory. We have looked further into the issues you have raised in your review and we can understand your frustrations. We can see from your enquiries that you are unhappy with the price of your oil, due to the understanding that BoilerJuice would refund you the difference if the oil prices drop between your order date and your delivery. Unfortunately, this is not currently how our refund process works. As stated in our communications on the website, quote page and emails, if the price of heating oil drops further on the day that you order, we will refund the difference back to you. We are working on improving these communications for our customers to make sure their experience is not impacted negatively due to misinterpretation. BoilerJuice strives to give customers the best price for their heating oil and we would not want our customers to feel mislead or charged more than the quote they were originally given. We hope this has clarified how our guaranteed refunds due to daily price drop work. We will use all your feedback to help improve customer experiences and our communications in the future.
