Unreliable in emergency 1/25/2011

Good: For a while when first signed up the cash price was good.. Bad: Previous failures to honor their service contract. When my burner gave out they would not come out unless I pay them additional for the service although the contract said repair at no cost. They are rude and arrogant when one points out any problems. I did not renew the service contract after that. I did continue buying from them for a while after that mostly because I was too lazy to look for another company. Totally unreliable if you run out of oil, cannot get things done.. Improvements: Don't care anymore since I got the improvement by getting another oil company.. Other: At least twice recently failed to show up when promised with oil delivery and the last time wasted two days of my time (while my house was at 40F) before I gave up and got another company to come out deliver oil. They are rude and arrogant when you insist that they live to their obligations and suggest you go elsewhere if you don't like the way they run things. They think they have you over a barrel, and they do, over a barrel of oil, when you are freezing your butt off.. more

I apologize personally for any arrogant treatment. This was a difficult Winter and everyone here was working 16 hour days, still that is no excuse. The woman who spoke to you no longer works for Al's Oil. I want you to know that as soon as we heard customer complaints about her attitude we acted. As for oil deliveries, we did attempt to make deliveries to your home, but the truck could not get up your driveway due to ice. I believe that you supplied a 50 lb bag of salt, which our driver spread. Our driver also gave you his cell phone number to call when the ice melted. As for failing to show up as promised, due to the snow storms we had an abnormally large number of people who were not Automatic Delivery customers calling who ran out of oil. We prioritized deliveries that needed to be primed and restarted. I am sorry that you didn't get your oil when you expected it, but we didn't mark your ticket as a run out.
