Texoil dropped prices by 60euro for 1000 litres since friday. Was 640 now 580 in Galway It's going to be cheaper in 2-3 weeks as crude oil dropped 23% on todays markets
Same.
In the past I would have been haggling (successfully) suppliers to deliver 800 - 850 litres for the same price per litre as their 1000 litre delivery.
Never seen prices not be cheaper per litre on big orders
When I had oil at my terraced house, we had an 850l slimline tank as it had to come through the house to be installed and it was a permanent, small, financial penalty for getting 800 or so in an order versus putting 1000 in the normal size tank at the holiday house. Well, that was dearer for other reasons but you get the point!
I could see somewhere have a promo price for 500 on the dot that they didn't offer for 501+ due to software issues though
That is the way I found some suppliers systems, they were programmed for the set amounts and you had to ring to get a better deal than the online quote.
That's bizarre. They'll probably get taken over or wiped out if they pursue that price strategy as most buyers wouldn't accept that.
I think it was just the way the online system was set up. It could be different now but I always double check it and then confirm by ringing them just in case.
Might be now best to correct your earlier post then as, as we all know, 'most suppliers' (of anything) do not increase the price the more you buy.
Feel free to contact a Mod to do that. It must be a slow day. I won't post my experience with suppliers in the future so.
The quality and accuracy of posting here is worse, it would appear, than the journalists in question. A lot of spoofing going on.
Read Deputy Verona Murphy's question, on 1st March, re re-introduction of 2c NORA levy. This was flagged as a temporary 'relief' offset in the Budget. Never being abolished. How would they abolish an oil reserve in a period of increasing international security and supply uncertainties...???
Not a slow day at all. I thought this was an information thread, not the Comedy Club or After Hours. A large amount of posts re NORA that are totally inaccurate and illogical. The fact that you wouldnt correct your post re 'most suppliers' tells me all I need to know. But keep posting such gems yes.
Maybe have a look at the editing timeframe allowed firstly, secondly this is a bargains alert thread in relation to oil prices. Goodbye.
on online systems I do find this to be the case. Capital oil and TOP would be two (too may have changed as I have not used them for a while)
My guess is that it is a lot easier to calculate loads having just 2 or 3 order levels
You find that the price per litre increases the more the quantity increases? Sorry, that's totally implausible but I would be very keen to see or hear more in that regard in terms of proofs. Just to learn more about it, not to disprove anyone.
I worked for oil companies many years ago, as the internet was ushered in, I watch the space closely for 25 years+, and I've never once seen that happen. I don't understand the logic for it and loading /route planning wouldnt be valid.
What would make this thread more helpful would be screenshots of price-breaks that work counter-intuitively to commercial logic. And that way, people could avoid those companies as being punished for buying more and making the cost per delivered litre lower runs contra to any sound business model I've seen. I'd be fascinated to see proof.
Screenshots of prices generally. Although Cheapestoil's charts are helpful as a headline indicator.
Likewise re the NORA posts. I'm all for lower prices and transparent taxation. But accurate posts would be most welcome, not unresearched and unfounded claims. Its not helpful to get inaccurate info when people are seeking a true bargain.
Apologies, I'm an oil distribution nerd and if earlier posts report accurately, its fascinating and unusual in my 25 years' close study.
That's an awful lot of words in 2 posts to say "I don't believe you" but to back up that other poster:
Capital Oil. You can even access the website yourself.
500 litres is 107c/l.
600 litres is 116.9c/l.
750 litres is also 116.9c/l.
1000 litres and discount kicks in again. 104.3c/l
It doesn't make sense but there it is.
Any promo code for TOPOIL? Thank you
Have a look at Certa if one near you with code WRK30
Nice long post there yourself. Thanks though as I still don't understand what they're at. Fill size wouldn't be it, there's lots of domestic 900l tanks in place.
I'll ring them later in the week and post the reply here.
Maybe you should try edit your previous posts like you asked another poster to but I think the 24hr window has closed. So it seems that the earlier posters were not lying about their experiences with some suppliers. You might want to rethink your 25 year "close study" if you missed that anomaly. Lets not derail the thread any further on the issue now it has been clarified.
I'll ring Capital and I'll let you know. I never stated that anyone was lying. Just likely mistaken. Why would anyone lie about such a thing? That's a bizarre way to phrase it.
I'll admit that I buy 1500-3000 litres at a time so price breaks between 500-900 have never caught my attention, no.
Edit: Edited this post just for you, as you're new.
I've never seen it done before (in 20+ years) but its cheaper to buy 300l in 2 deliveries that 600l in one on Capital Oil tonight. So its not about fill size. Though it may be pure marketing ploy around 500litres. Nonethless, bizarre as 502 litres costs a lot more ppl than 500. Or 300-400 for that matter. I've seen strong unions in the past affect price breaks but never like this. Will report back here what I find out, if anything.
"Edited this post just for you, as you're new" Would you get off your high horse for gods sake. I am not "new" I have been on boards nearly 20 years but opened a new account last year after leaving for a while. I haven't noticed you posting on this thread in the past until you started telling people they were basically posting rubbish, open to correction. Just admit you were wrong and I think I will leave it at that.
So guys…..don’t know what spat is going on here……but back to brass tacks…..is home heating oil looking like dropping much in next fortnight…..what would be a keen price for 500l fill?
Thanks for any replies.
Depends where you are, Corrib Oil are €550 for 500ltrs today.
500 Litres @ €529 in Kildare.
Hopefully it keeps dropping and I'll top up for next winter. If we could get down to about .75 per litre that would be great. I know that seems optimistic but I think it might just happen.
500L off Certa using code WRK30 is €521.00
500L €529
600L €701
Crazy........ better off buying two separate 500 ltr fills ( if you had the room for it)
Sorry but how does that work?…,,.am in NW……you ring nearest Certa agent…..order 500l and then quote that code to person on other end of line?
Thanks if that’s the drill.
Just put the discount code you are using in the box and price will be updated at checkout.
As the poster above said, but if like some that were taken over by Certa it redirects you to their own website and there is no option to enter a code I would ring and ask would they honour the code. If not might be worth ringing Certa to ask why they wouldn't accept it if Certa own them.
Brent taking a knocking today $73 odd, it's lowest in a year. Other factors looking ok too so we might see 1L for €1.00 on 1000L soon hopefully.
