Simply Brilliant...

We ran out of oil at 11am, phoned Nolan Oils and by 4.30 we had a full tank - SIMPLY BRILLIANT!

Excellent service... Great customer service...

Excellent service, received my heating oil delivery the next day after placing order on line Sunday. Great customer service thanks again for saving my heating system from running out!!

Just a note to say thank you for the delivery of heating oil today.

Despite having been my sole supplier for the past 15 years or so, (another oil supplier) were unsympathetic when I realised I was virtually out of oil, quoting me 8th February for an order placed last week. They even suggested I go to a garden centre and get some paraffin!!! Needless to say my loyalty will henceforth be with Nolan Oils. (22/1/10)


Many thanks to your driver for what must have been a tricky delivery.

Brilliant once again, getting through the ice and snow and using the nice friendly girl in the office.

Your excellent service is much appreciated by me.


THANK YOU!

No. 1 company of the year!


THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AFTER ME

Having used the same oil company in the past for 40 years and had so much trouble with them over the last year I am pleased to say you will now be my supplier!  Many thanks...


THANK YOU

Thank you for your good service.


I am writing to put on record my thanks to the two delivery men who came and filled up my oil tank yesterday evening.

I was amazed that they were working so late, it was after 6pm when they arrived - especially in the dark and bad weather.


I would like to express how impressed I was by my oil delivery today

Such a surprise as I was told on the phone that you were running late which was understandable. So, many thanks to the gentleman and lady that turned up, it proves that some people do put themselves out for others.

Nolan Oils have been good to me a second time, the first being when I had a leak in my oil tank.

Once more a huge THANK YOU and I hope the conditions in 2010 soon improve for you!


Just wanted to say thank you very much for delivering oil to us yesterday, only 24 hrs after we had ordered it.

We were almost on an empty tank, and had been let down by another supplier, (who still haven't delivered, even though we placed our order with them on 6 Jan.)

The speed with which you responded was fantastic, and we will certainly come back to you next time we need more oil.

Thanks again.


"... I will not be ordering from my previous supplier any more. Why would I?!"

Not realising I had had my oil stolen, I ran out unexpectedly during the big freeze we had a few weeks ago. I called every oil company in the area to find one who could deliver in an emergency. The only one who responded positively was Nolan Oils. Although you couldn't deliver that day as your tankers were snowed in, your driver did manage to get to me a couple of days later at 7am on a Sunday through the ice and snow - what a trooper! I was so grateful for this excellent customer service that I will not be ordering from my previous supplier any more. Why would I?!


A very big thank you

This is just to say a very big thank you for getting the oil to me at 5pm today - the system was out of action and am so grateful for your kindness in getting a supply to me. Its saved the day as we are all oil-cooking, heating etc- no gas !

A cheque will be in the post tomorrow.


Thank you

I would just like to say a thank you for your excellent service this week during the current poor weather. I had overlooked the amount of oil left in my tank which was all but empty Sunday as the cold weather and snow arrived. After a call Monday morning I had a 1000 litres delivered by late afternoon. Many thanks.

My last experience was with (another oil supplier), who lost my order, was 2 days late, then the driver could not find North Marston, when he did call me for direction could hardly put a sentence together and then only had enough fuel to leave me 300 litres.

I will be using yourself in future based on the excellent service you provided.


Humble thanks

To the Staff @ Nolan Oils.

On behalf of my wife and self I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent service in delivering oil to us old people.

Today for the second consecutive time oil ordered by my wife in the morning was delivered at lunch time.

As elderly persons we worry that we might run out of oil and as usual we try to give you at least two to three days notice.

Hence we never seem to make exactly 900 litres delivered.

I will arrange to top up our credit after the break if necessary , however it would appear that our standing order arrangement is working out fine.

Once again many thanks I am sure you do not realise the confidence you give customers such as us.

Happy and successful New Year to you all.

How are fuel prices set?

"There are four primary factors that are taken into account when setting the prices; crude costs, refinery costs, taxes and return on capital investment."

What might cause a price increase?

One of the reasons crude prices might rise is because the tensions in the Middle East continue to increase along with concerns about potential interruptions to supply of crude oil in South America and East Africa.  Natural disasters and political influences also have an affect.

However the price is also influenced by rapid global economy recovery and the expansion and emergence of burgeoning economies such as China, which increased its crude imports by 35% last year on the previous year.

Increased demand obviously impacts on price and market speculation on future high prices can greatly exaggerate the price increases.

Taxes are also a factor.  in the UK tax is 70% of the price whereas in the US it is only 23%.
