What BS. Auto delivery my ass...have had to call most times in the coldest season to ask for delivery.
Going with a more “local” company but they can’t put me in service until December 3rd due to heavy schedule. Hope it’s worth the wait...meanwhile, I may have to call Irving one more time before then.
I will request a partial fill as I don’t want the tanks full when they come to take them away.
I will add that Irving people are always polite and cordial on the phone even though they don’t deliver quickly enough.
If you remember that wind storm a few years ago, my generator ran for four days and we weren't home and didn't want to run out. Rhymes said we were due in two weeks. I explained about the storm but it didn't matter. We were due in two weeks and that was it. I called Wolfeboro Oil and they came delivered to us. (We own the tanks.) When spring came we switched to Wolfeboro Oil and had them put their name on the tanks in huge letters and guess what. Rhymes delivered to them anyway. Irving insisted I didn't need oil a couple of times when I was almost empty and though I begged they would not deliver. Told me if it wasn't empty and they delivered it would be an extra 200. I said fine, but they still wouldn't deliver. Because I knew one of the truck drivers, he rescued me. Needless to say both companies are no longer. BTW, this was automatic delivery in both places.
