“They hit you with extra charges & when you have an issue or a complaint their customer "service" team make that job title a joke.”

Helpful Report

“Dreadful service, avoid! Failed delivery due to apparent non-existent crack in the tank. No info provided on why, had to phone to find out why oil hasn’t been delivered. Today oil was delivered by a completely different supplier who said there is nothing wrong with our tank. Despite their mistake Boilerjuice have refused to give a full refund. Shocking.”

“I've had this service for a number of years and to be fair it has been really good. I'm just about to have a heat pump installed so rerquested to cancel the service and return the money banked up to pay for future orders. At this point I was told I was on a 12 month contract and would have to pay an early termination fee of £66. I've had the service for a number of years and was not aware of renewing it....This just seems unfair and like they are helping themselves to my money for nothing. Shame as this has totally spoiled what has been a good experience.”

“Ordered a delivery of oil. A week later they tell me that the delivery driver arrived, could not access my tank and so left. I have sent emails to try and understand why this occurred but they cannot explain. They have arranged 3 deliveries in the past year to the same tank, in the same location, with absolutely no issue whatsoever. They have not read my emails, not provided proof the driver actually arrived and have charged me £40 for a non delivery. They have not read (or more likely) do not understand the issue I have. My advice, and what I have now done (with no issue on delivery at all) is gone direct to a provider, rather than using these as a go between, especially as they have no idea what they are talking about.”

“I have used BoilerJuice for 20 years. In that time I have moved house 3 times and always been loyal to them. That ends today. We moved house 12 months ago and had to have a new boiler fitted just before Christmas last year. With a new boiler/new house I was not sure what the oil consumption would be like, particularly in the winter months. My usage in April was a lot more than I expected and so I ordered an emergency delivery on 1st May at a considerable premium. The oil was due to be delivered on or before Friday 3rd May. From the afternoon of the 3rd until the 8th May I exchanged a number of emails with their customer service team. The only word I could use to describe the experience was ' PATHETIC'. They didn't answer any of the questions I raised, instead relying on standard email responses. There seemed to be no process whatsoever between BoilerJuice and their supplier to find out when I might expect delivery. The oil was finally delivered on 9th May, a full 6 days after I was promised it. I went back on to the BoilerJuice website on the 9th and got a quote for the same amount of oil and compared what I would pay for an emergency delivery and a 6 day delivery. The difference was £60 which I assume was very similar to the week before when I ordered. I again contacted BoilerJuice and asked them for a £60 refund. I heard nothing until 13th May when I received a refund of £5.25. Contacted them again to be told that was the maximum they could offer me under their terms and conditions. There are a number of issues BoilerJuice needs to address. 1) Hiding behind draconian T's&C's is no way to conduct business 2) I paid for a service I did not receive 3) Communication between them and their suppliers and the customer is non existent 4) Their customer service people are probably the worst I have encountered 5) Whilst I am not sure, there must be some sort of Service Level Agreement between BoilerJuice and their suppliers based on agreed delivery days, with penalty clauses as part of that agreement. If true they are receiving money from their customers by not paying refunds they are entitled to and from their suppliers for failing to achieve SLA targets. Finally, do not believe they are the cheapest, they are not as I have just confirmed with some of my local oil suppliers. Get some regulation in this sector. As an update, I sent this review to Trustpilot this morning. BoilerJuice replied with another standard response asking me for my order number to allow them to 'respond accurately' and ' look further into the issues raised in your review'. I responded and within 5 mins received another standard email saying how sorry they were but not addressing any of the issues I raised or offering a refund. This is now published on Truspilot”

“Appalling, second rate service! Shoddy, shoddy, shoddy! Still awaiting delivery on an 3-day order; we are now day 8 and counting. Had to make an Emergency Next Day Delivery Order at nearly twice the price as oil tank had run dry waiting. Abysmal customer service and support. Repeated requests for Line Managers to call; dream on! Still awaiting an update 🕸️ . Offered a pathetic £10 compensation on a £700 plus order for the inconvenience 😡 😂”

“Terrible company, do not return calls when they fail to deliver on time. We have two children under 5 which I told them and they left us with no heating or hot water. I had paid extra for a early delivery. Really poor customer service and really couldn't care less.”

“Do not use this service, they do not deliver..on time amd them charge YOU for a refund although they cannot deliver. Everyone should report this to trading standards, if they don't deliver and then charge you a fee for a refund, this is not legal. DREAFFUL COMPANY”

“My order was requested on 21/3/2924 & delivery date advised. Monies were paid on 21/3/24 but did not receive my delivery When I enquired I was told to dip my tank for proof. Customer service not up to standard. Very annoyed… now out of pocket for £336 & no oil. Have closed my account with them .SO PLEASE BE AWARE.”

“Ordered over two weeks ago so outside the contractually agreed delivery date now but no oil and no date for delivery, have dealt with Boiler juice for over 15 years but the standards are definitely slipping so this will be the last time I order from them I am very nearly out of fuel I just wish I had read the recent reviews before I ordered.”

“Ordered oil. The driver couldn't deliver as, so say, the entrance was to tight, the entrance is 2.85 metres well with in the 9 feet. I have had countless tankers, skips, Luton vans delivery to me. I had to call and find this out myself, if I hadn't called/messaged I would still be waiting. In the meantime, oil ran out. So, no heating. I rang Boiler Juice to be offered a refund out of which they deducted £11. As a service charge!! Very poor and rude customer service Never again”

“Horrendous, 5 no shows of oil deliver when paid for and my tank very low, disgusting customer service would never use again, caused so much stress. Going with Devon Fuel good customer service I can relax and be warm.”

“I have been a loyal customer of BoilerJuice for many years even advocating their service to others. Over the past few years I’ve noticed the service delivery decreasing. I have been using the connected service, where they specify the direct debit amount and monitor your tank so you don’t run out. Although on 3 occasions I have run out leaving myself and my family without hot water or heating, and resulting in higher charges for emergency delivery and plumber call out charges. BoilerJuice take no responsibility for this, and have stated they only top up if you have sufficient credit for an order. They don’t make any attempt to call or contact in any way to let you know you are running low or that they cannot order, they just don’t. Also if you aren’t careful they will place orders for high volumes at high prices, they were never supposed to do this, the point was they monitor and arrange deliveries in time and at the lowest cost. And if you cancel a delivery they place at high rates, they charge you a cancellation fee. It is clear from me that they just aren’t the agile business they were. I have written complaints to the senior management team and no one replies apart from a customer service person who’s options to help are very limited. After many years I have just cancelled, it seems if you talk to your local supplier they can give you great prices anyway, and seem to actually want to help and give you good service. A terrible shame, I gave them many opportunities to work with me to rectify this or at least pay for my plumber fees, but no, they seem comfortable losing business. I’ve given a 2 but right now that’s 2 too many really.”

“Terrible service. I wish I'd checked the reviews earlier. Ordered from them as they could deliver quickly despite being slightly more expensive than NRG. Ironically NRG are who they used to make the delivery. They arrived on the day in a tanker the same size that has delivered to us and our neighbours many times before, only for the driver to say it was too difficult for him and he'd arrange a smaller tanker. Didn't hear anything from them and then had a cancellation email 24 hours later from Boiler Juice who also held back £40 non delivery charge !! Spoke to Boiler Juice on repeated occasions and they acknowledged they had used that same size tanker in the past but said they would look into it with NRG and ring me back. Heard nothing and chased them again. Again was promised a call back and didn't hear from them yet again. In the meantime we ran out of oil. Rang local suppliers and have just had a delivery from Stevenage Oil who were very helpful and I would highly recommend. (same size tanker). Four days later, 2 emails via their customer service link that they haven't replied too, and I am still waiting for the refund of over £1000 and to hear what they are doing about the non delivery charge. SHOCKING SERVICE AND COMMUNICATION”

“Have ordered oil with standard tanker and no problems for 14 years. Tinknells fuels sent driver who could not manage single track lane and claimed manhole cover looked weak. Charged me a fee of £40 and no delivery of oil. Boiler Juice took fee from refund - spoke to Tinknells Avonmouth Depot manager Nick Locklear who could not have cared less - rude and no customer service at all. Boiler juice have lost a customer through Tinknells fuels and also their handling of this matter as they know the history of my oil orders.”

Helpful Report

“Atrocious company to deal with, displaying very questionable practices. My experience echoes other 1 star reviewers. Order placed early Jan, delivery date comes and goes with failure and no communication. You are left chasing Boiler Juice for updates and promised call backs which you don't get. The supplier don't help and abdicate responsibility back to Boiler Juice. In the end I had to cancel after waiting nearly a month for my order and I am STILL waiting for a refund. I have had to chase with complaint emails and phone calls four times to get my full refund back, despite being told before that they had processed it. At this stage I am considering opening a County Court claim for the money and advising everyone I know at every opportunity to steer clear of this abhorrent company.”
