Johnston Oils’ oil clubs are a free service that allows households in a community to combine their orders for heating oil, also known as kerosene, to secure a cheaper bulk purchase price. By organising multiple deliveries in a single area, Johnston Oils can reduce its travel and administrative costs and pass those savings to its oil club members. The company manages over 200 community clubs across Scotland and Northern England.
Joining a heating oil club can offer several benefits, here’s a breakdown of the key advantages:
Group ordering
By combining the orders of an entire community, the collective volume of heating oil is significantly larger than any single individual’s order. A higher volume gives the group increased buying power to negotiate a better price per litre.
No fees or contracts
Joining a Johnston Oils club is free, with no joining or renewal fees. You are not locked into a contract and can leave at any time.
Flexible ordering
You are not obligated to order every time the club places a group order. When you need to top up your tank, you can place an order online or by phone and get the special oil club price. You can also order outside of the group schedule if needed.
Order reminders
Johnston Oils sends reminders via text, email, or phone call before an oil club delivery is scheduled, ensuring you don’t forget to order or run low.
Environmentally friendly
By consolidating deliveries to a single area, the number of tanker journeys is reduced, which lowers fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Convenient delivery
You don’t have to be home for the delivery, as long as the driver has safe access to your oil tank.
