Reliable
Reliable, straightforward ordering procedure; punctual delivery, as notified.
Fuel delivered within quoted time
Great delivery system
You always deliver my fuel well in advance of me running empty... it is an automatic process that works very well.
Exploitation
I tried to order IOil on the Monday 5th after the war started (not panic buying I needed oil our tank supports 3 homes if we run out we need a plumber to recommission the boilers) and Watson had closed their site I eventually got through on the phone on the Thursday they have charged me the rate they had on delivery they eventually delivered on the 16th and doubled the price calling me to tell me that I reduced the order to 1000 litres and they delivered 1400 at the high rate shocking exploitation and I have reported it to my MP and the ombudsman

We have had a very bad experience with Watsons, mainly due to a breakdown in communication! We have an issue with an unwanted & overpriced oil delivery & no one is contacting us after we're ringing Watsons & being told we would be getting a call back to discuss issues! Extremely bad service!!

It would be helpful if information about delivery time and dates were given at first and not after any complaints.
