Dear All
Please see below the KOIL order schedule for the next 12 months. Due to how bank holidays etc fall, it's not quite in sync with the 'first Friday' by the spring, so please keep the schedule safe. We will of course still send out reminders, but appreciate many of you plan well ahead.

The above dates are when the order goes in and you will need to email us by 5pm the day before if you want to be included. Delivery will be the following week, usually the Tuesday or Wednesday.
You'll be getting a separate reminder for next week's order, so please don't reply to this one as it's easy to miss orders that way (a lesson learned from previous years!)
POLITE REMINDERS:
If you need a 'fill' please use that word - 'top up' isn't always a 'fill' for some, so sticking to the same language helps massively!
If you do ask for a 'fill', please always include an estimated amount needed. This avoids the tanker running out of oil for those on the tail end of deliveries. You'll only ever be charged for what they fit in your tank
We can't always be on hand to give you prices in between orders. We do appreciate that the cost of fuel is a heavy burden for many of us, but you can readily get an indicative price from websites such as Boiler Juice (BUT NOTE: the pence per litre quoted on their site doesn't include a £12.95 admin fee, which adds 2.6ppl to a 500 litre order!)
And finally, I really wish I didn't feel the need to say this but I do...we run KOIL to give something back to the community. We don't make a single penny from it and it actually costs us to run it (e.g. business email address) not to mention the time & effort that goes into it. We get no perks or other benefits. We genuinely want to help as many people as possible and appreciate we occasionally make mistakes, despite having checks & balances to minimise them, but you're all very understanding and respectful on the rare times it happens.I SAY THIS NOT FOR THANKS BUT FOR WHAT FOLLOWS...We do occasionally get people who are downright rude to us, even when we've not made a mistake. It was a tough decision to continue KOIL this year for a number of reasons but we really enjoy the fact everyone benefits. BUT, if anybody is rude to us we will remove your email from the list without warning and will not help you in the future. The same applies to anyone who calls the supplier and is rude to them. It's not necessary or fair
Well, not quite finally...to everyone else, thank you for being a part of KOIL - over 300 members means we all benefit from cheaper oil and priority deliveries when the world's gone mad and supply is limited! And thank you for all your lovely messages when we got burgled last month, they were much appreciated and we feel much better now we've got an all-singing, all-dancing CCTV & alarm system 🙂
Many thanks
Sarah & Mark
