oil delivery

[mjrocks98.livejournal.com]

Is anyone else having problems getting timely oil deliveries from Fast Track Oil? We ordered early Friday morning & were told they would deliver on Saturday. Saturday came & went & no oil. I called Sunday morning to see if we were accidentally missed, really didn't get an answer they just took our info again. Sunday came & went & no oil. Called this morning because now we're getting very low & I'm worried we'll run out & again just took our info & said they'd, "Let the office know." We've always received our deliveries within 24 hours after placing a call before, never had this problem in the past. Now today is a holiday & I don't even know if they are making deliveries :(

Something else to consider for the future....
I had a plan with my oil company that I would pay a fixed monthly fee year round (say $100/month) and they would come regularly to fill the tank based on my monthly usage history. At the end of the service contract year we would settle up. If I had overpaid them I could get a check from them or roll the money into the next years contract. If I owed them money, I would send them a check for the difference. I think every year I ended up overpaying by about $100 so I just rolled it into my next contract. This way I avoided running out of oil and also getting insanely high bills in February.

You can also lock in rates in the fall as well -- I've had mixed experiences with this. But then you don't need to worry about them waiting to fill your tank until the price goes up.
