    Rang Mor Oil yesterday, got 500 litres today for €300.
    Steep but at least we won't be without for Christmas and New Years. Now when everyone is home all day the heating is on all the time with the cold weather.

    500 litres cost approx 260 euro, so they charging you 40 quid delivery.
    Allot of places arent charging delivery lately.

    I rang a few others first but they were all 280 or so and couldn't for sure say they'd make it before Christmas. Didn't want to take chances this close to the holidays.

    Sorry to go kinda off topic but im living in a rented house and will be moving out in jan and i dont want to spend money on oil that we wont use so is it possible to get less then 500ltrs from any oil company in galway?

    Did you get any feedback on this one?
    I am too interested in companies that can deliver less than 500 ltrs...
    snubbleste wrote: »
    Yes. The minimum is around €150 worth

    Start calling around for quotes

    Do you happen to know which companies allow this as I have found no-one so far that does?

    Texoil do €150, but the more you order the better you get per litre,
    texoil 091 795188

    theres also a guy called " cosy home heating " but he is very unreliable imho,
    he told me he would be with me after 6 before christmas, and turned up at 10.30 pm, with no phone call to advise me, ( i went to bed lol)

    I got heating oil a few weeks ago but have had no money taken from my a/c yet. Quite annoyed as am afraid it & mortgage will come out at same time, is that normal for them to wait to take it out? Never experienced anything like it before!

    Not many places.. but i think corrib oil or galway oil.
    but for the sake of 50eur id go with suttons oil 200eur..350 litres bargain. another place 200 for 310 litres huge dif. id go wit suttons.
    the higher u go the cheaper the oil but that v cheap with suttons.

    I paid Mor Oil €250 for 400 litres yesterday (62.5c/l). They had quoted me 0.64c/l for 300 litres (€192). I think that that was around their minimum delivery.

    Moonandstars; that Suttons price is excellent (€200 for 350 litres = 0.57c/l)

    might be worth checking out boilerjuice.ie for a quick comparison quotation next time before you order - or even now to see how much you've paid over the odds :D

    Checked them out, but they don't seem to be doing quotes for Galway City.

    Nope, cooperation with Boilerjuice would make Galway oil companies' practices too transparent and accountable altogether.

    Now, which Galway oil company will be the first to break from the c..... cycle?

    I rang around yesterday (Fri) looking for 1000 litres and was quoted:

    Corrib: €580
    Sweeneys: €570
    Galway Oil: €585
    Suttons: €595
    O Connell: €580

    If you are a regular customer you may be able to haggle them down 20 or 30 euro.

    If you are going to be in this country long enough to need to buy oil , I would suggest that you apply for a visa or mastercard.

    That really does not help or answer my question.
    I am just looking for an Oil company that accepts American Express as a payment method.

    He's right. American Express is a pain in the arse to have in this country. even to buy petrol/diesel th only garage in galway city that accepts is the Sweeney garage on the Headford road; but Sweeney oil as a company don't as far as I know. Seriously, pay cash or get a visa or mastercard; American Express is akin to a pariah in this country. I had one for business for a bit and I got rid of it as effectively most of the time it was useless.
