Hello Swinny.net readers, Please can you add our Co-operative Buying Group to your list.

We are The Fuel Co-op www.thefuel.coop

We went live in November, based in, but not exclusive to, East Sussex.

Can anyone tell me if there's an oil buying consortium in Kent, near Ashford? It's not just for price, it's for reliability. I've been waiting 3 weeks for a delivery and just been let down again. Now I have to go stay with a friend as the oil has run out. There are only 2 other suppliers using baby tankers and the earliest they can deliver is a month away.

I cant find any clubs in Aberdeenshire? Can you help?

@Jeremy Cole. Jeremy strongly advise you not to use BWOC as an acroynm as it is trademarked by BWOC Ltd a large bulk oil distribution company. They are at http://www.bwoc.co.uk. Don't want to see a good intentioned buying club falling foul of the law.

Does anybody know of a club in Kent? And why is it so hard to find them? Googling brings up nothing

Hi Anon. Where are you in Kent? We may be able to help - happy to have Members in Kent as well as Sussex and Surrey look us up at www.thefuel.coop - we are owned by our members not the other way round.

Hello Barney

We are living near Nenagh, Co. Tipperary. Do you have any other people from this area who are interested in forming a group?

Cheers

Denis

Hi Denis,

Not yet, but we can send you some flyers free of charge to start your own group. We'll build the web site (nenaghbuyers.com or even tipperarybuyers.com) and away you go. It's all free, and you can actually earn from it!!

Let me know if you are interested.

Hello Barney

Yes please, we would be interested in any help you could give us. northtipperarybuyers.com would be better as Tipperary is a large county. Do we now get in touch with you directly?

Cheers

I wish to bring to your attention a new website 'theheatingoilclub.co.uk/'It seems competetive and is free to join I can't find any complaints anywhere on the net. Has anyone had any dealings with this company?
by David Nicholas on 18 January 2011 Reply
Hello Neil. Not sure if you are aware we launched The heating oil club in Feb last year after having run our local village heating oil buying group for close to 30 years. Hope you continue to find "No Complaints" as we try to make the process as easy for members as possible. we will try to answer any questions.

Regards

David Nicholas
