Background
You will be aware that several Tynedale communities are now running successful oil buying groups and reducing the cost of domestic fuel oil from this area's suppliers. If you are interested in making such savings by joining a Haydon Bridge Development Trust organised group or require further information, please forward your contact details by e-mail to me Janice Cumberland at:
There is no obligation for you to become a member or make a purchase, if you join the group. We always welcome new members to our group. For new members I will need name, address with postcode, telephone, email address and if there are any special instructions to access their oil tank. If you know someone who doesn't have access to the Internet, please email me and we can arrange to add them to our database and I can contact them by telephone. So as a reminder and for the benefit of any new members this is how it works:
Problems with the delivery or payments should be directed to the supplier.
Suppliers terms
Suppliers give different credit terms; some give as long as 30 days and others as few as 7 days. Please always check the invoice to make sure you don't end up paying more than you need to. Credit card companies levy a 2% surcharge on all suppliers and this is passed on to customers. There is no charge for using other payment methods, i.e. cheque, debit card, bank transfer or direct debit.
