About the Nutley Oil Group and how the group works

The group was formed in late 2008 and now has some 65 members with interest being expressed by many others. The service is free, and is run by volunteers from the Nutley community, and the way it works is quite simple.

Oil is ordered at intervals throughout the year and the volunteers get together at these times to request your oil quantity (minimum individual order 500 litres) and secure the best price from our list of 'Oil Suppliers'. We then only have a few hours for a volunteer to attach the group details and oil quantities to an email and confirm the agreed price to the supplier. Things do however again move very fast once we have agreed a price with the oil supplier, the supplier is soon requesting payment directly from you, normally by credit/debit card over the telephone. It is worth saying that you should confirm your oil quantity, any special delivery instructions and request your personal delivery date at the time of making your payment.

Whilst oil price I am sure is very important to us all, there is another major benefit, with 65 plus members who would have normally ordered their oil separately, meaning potentially up to 65 separate tankers driving into the area over many weeks, we I am sure are now cutting this down to just possibly three or four oil tankers over a few days.

The key to a successful membership is not to run your oil tank down too low, because we all have to order at the same time, and by not maintaining a reasonable level of oil may mean you might run out before the group delivery. You don't have to order oil every time or even order a lot. Some members on occasions have only ordered 500 litres as a top up, keeping their tank at a reasonable level.

The average amount of oil ordered last time was 950 litres per member and we paid 33.6p per litre.

Minimum order of 500 litres.

Once you have submitted your intended order to us you will be contacted by the Nutley Oil Group Chosen Supplier - so here to help you is our suggested 'Ordering Checklist' for when the oil supplier phones you:
