Late delivery but remain loyal customer
We are long standing Southern Fuel customers and have generally been very happy with the whole service. However this week delivery was not as expected because the wrong vehicle had been scheduled. Subsequently delivery was two days later. Such a shame and a bit disappointing,but will continue to use Southern Fuel.

Good Afternoon Mr Maskell,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We are so sorry for the delayed delivery. Unfortunately, we have had a few operational problems with the smaller tankers, meaning we may have tried to deliver with a larger vehicle and not been successful. Hence the delay. We will take your feedback on board and strive to do better next time.
Thank you for continuing to support us, despite your disappointment on this occasion. We assure you that it will not happen again.
Hope you have a lovely week! -JS
Great delivery service
Great delivery service. I’m notified the day before delivery so I know when oil is arriving. I have been using Southern Fuels for some years and have always been happy with their service and price. Helpful, friendly staff. Excellent all round service from a local company.

Fantastic service
Fantastic service. Ordered oil on Wednesday. Arrived Friday. Got a message to say delivery was arranged and another text to say oil had been delivered. Always the cheapest prices in our area. What more could you ask for?

They are a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend them.

A pleasure to work with a company where everything works well - online ordering, delivery within time indicated, refund if excess ordered handled quickly. And consistently at lower cost than competitors.

We have used Southern Fuels for a number of years and have had a consistently good service.
Against other companies they are the best.
Always polite and helpful especially if accidentally running out of fuel. Delivery is always ultra quick.

The initial delivery was terrible
The initial delivery was terrible, the driver put the fuel in the wrong tank, he could have knocked the door or called me to ask if in doubt, and was then rude, intimidating and swore while slamming things around, he didn’t try and help resolve the issue just threw a tantrum and drove off, thankfully the manager I spoke too arranged for another driver to come out the next day to re do the delivery and this time no issues, the second driver Tim was polite, helpful and I had no issues. Shame one person let’s the team down
