As we all know oil is at an all time low with a huge glut of oil on the world market Petrol prices have tumbled but companies like Rix Oil are keeping the price of their heating oil sky high despite them being able to buy at record low prices I do wonder if like so many companies they are taking advantage of the mass hysteria over the corona virus and is Rix seeing an opportunity in being able to make a very substantial profit bonanza It is very hard to conclude otherwise when I can go online and buy my oil for up to 10p per litre less than their price and that price is still way over what the price we should be paying in today s market We have all heard the excuses about the cost of refining etc etc and we all know this is used to keep the price artificially high to ensure profits are maximised but wouldn t it be nice if at times like these companies like Rix actually did the right thing and adjust their oil prices in line with the current oil market

Family business Customer service
Waited for a whole month without heating or hot water for repair service Very nice guy came and fixed this - kudos However the paperwork created by Rix - leaves me speechless A4 page of their terms and conditions are quiet literally printed so small you can t read I was dumbfounded by the fact you can t see who to make a bank payment too No worries - the woman assistant calls me less than 24 hours after the jobs done Can I make payment she asks I explain it s not even been 24 hours and I waited a whole month for their engineer Received No invoice No politeness talking as if I was a bad debtor Whole call was just not needed Abrupt and not good customer service Rix Wish they would put the love back into their family business On all occasions when needing assistance getting an engineer service the assistants was abrupt and quiet frankly rude On both occasions Use Rix if you have to but please do not expect polite customer service You won t receive it

We have been loyal customers of Oakley
We have been loyal customers of Oakley now Rix for a number of years We had to order oil due to an emergency in the run up to Christmas They said they had no capacity and couldn t deliver I had to ring round and Boiler Juice could supply us Next day a tanker from Rix came with oil I am assuming that Rix get paid more to get jobs via Boiler Juice and would rather this than supply loyal customers We feel let down by them

Excellent service
We were running extremely low on heating oil and almost out when I contacted Rix Petroleum at Spalding Lincs on Saturday for a delivery the Lady I spoke with suggested they may be able to deliver by Tuesday and at a competitive price I therefore placed an order On Monday at around 4pm their driver Albert arrived with our deliveryWhat more can I say Rix Petroleum excellent customer service a team to be proud of what more can a customer expect Thank You you put your competitors to shame We look forward to dealing with this company again in the future will more than recommend on every occasion
