Osmotherley & Area Oil Co-Operative

Osmotherley & Area Oil Co-Operative - Ingleby Arncliffe & Ingleby Cross

Our villages and surrounding area are part of Osmotherley Area Oil Co-Operative and run by volunteers.  An application form is available at the bottom of the page - to be completed and sent to Jude.

Orders

Orders are placed every 2 months or so with cut off order dates as detailed below. No orders can be placed outside of these dates and usually no late orders can be accepted after this date.

The orders are collated by Jude and a total amount for our branch of the Oil Club submitted to our price negotiator, Tristan.  There are 3 branches of the oil club covering Osmotherley area, Borrowby and Ingleby Arncliffe/ Ingleby Cross plus surrounding villages        

After negotiations with the main companies delivering to this area, the best price is agreed and the order is placed. Jude sends the supplier a list of members’ names, address, amount of fuel required and any access instructions. (Please note – any other details are not disclosed but if you receive your invoice digitally, then the company will have your email address and may use this for marketing unless you advise them otherwise)

The details of the order – price, company etc. – are circulated to all members of the club regardless of whether oil has been ordered.  This is to keep members informed of changes in the price. 

Delivery 

Barring any adverse weather, the agreement is for deliveries to be completed within the 2 weeks following price confirmation,  which includes Saturdays. If you need confirmation of delivery date to arrange access or require oil urgently, please phone the company as soon as you can. Please do mention that you are part of the Osmotherley and Area Oil Cooperative.

Any problems with delivery please contact the supplier in the first instance and then ring Jude if it can't be sorted or if it should be noted for other customers.

Price and payment 

The price for the total oil required will be negotiated by Tristan on Wednesday / Thursday of the order week and orders placed directly with the supplier on Thursday / Friday for delivery within the following 2 weeks.

The prices received from all the oil companies are very competitive and due to Tristan’s excellent negotiation skills the group will obtain the very best price. This price is very strictly nett: any vouchers or other promotional discounts will not be accepted against this price. Customers with an AGA or Rayburn who require the additive will pay an extra 1p/litre.

The usual arrangements for payment apply: the supplier should  leave a delivery note or you can phone them up after delivery to check the amount owing; you settle up directly with them within two weeks (BACS, cheque or credit / debit card — there may be a small surcharge on credit cards).

Please ensure that you pay promptly for fuel delivered: our ability to negotiate the most advantageous prices and terms for you depends on it.  You may be charged a different price for your delivery if you do not pay within the 2 week period as this is a conditional price to the group only given for prompt payment.

 REQUESTS FOR A "FILL UP" ARE NOT ACCEPTED. This is so that calculations for the tanker capacities and delivery of orders can be more accurately arranged.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU NEED OIL URGENTLY AND CANNOT WAIT FOR 2 WEEKS – PLEASE ORDER INDEPENDENTLY OUTSIDE OF THE CO-OPERATIVE AS WE CANNOT GUARANTEE URGENT DELIVERIES OWING TO THE VOLUME OF FUEL AND NUMBER OF PROPERTIES INVOLVED.
