Why join an oil buying club?

When living in a rural location it is often the case that home heating oil, Kerosene 28, is the only option when wanting to heat ones home. As a fuel it is notoriously inefficient although modern heating systems are improving this fact. One thing however that faces all customers is the ever fluctuating and often volatile pricing of home heating oil.

Oil Buying Clubs are quickly establishing themselves as the most practical, cost effective and environmentally friendly option possible for members and distributors alike.

By joining an Oil Buying Club, such as the one I operate, people can come together and order in bulk. The benefits of this are many. Firstly with such a large volume of oil being ordered a distributor is able to give a significant reduction in price. The supplier themselves delivers the oil on one day to the various club members. The supplier naturally saves on transport costs as well as administration and marketing. The reason being the Oil Club in question brings a ready made customer database to the supplier thereby reducing the need for advertising costs etc.

The very simplicity of an Oil Buying Club is in itself unusual in a world often mixed up in red tape and bureaucracy. 

Orders are often made by telephone, post or e-mail. The Club Co Ordinator then collates the orders and contacts various suppliers for the best price on offer.  Each member is then responsible for paying the supplier themselves. 
An oil club is a must for those who wish to reduce their Carbon Footprint  as well as to gain the very best reduction possible in cost.

It has been proven that Oil Buying Clubs consistantly obtain better prices for their members than they would acting as individuals. This is one example of how community spirit can reap not just financial rewards but also keep tanker traffic at a minimum. This has a knock on effect of having cleaner air and safer roads.
