Will not deliver pre-bought propane. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY

Purchased 2750 gal and a tank March of 2021. We have 1069 gal remaining to be delivered. Ordered propane a month ago, no delivery. If you actually get someone to answer the phone (they screen calls so you have to use different phone #'s to get any one to answer) no one...

Poor Service

Cannot get propane delivered from pre-buy balance. When deliveries are made only deliver 100 gallons to a 500 gallon tank. When you try get information about delivery status you either get hung up on or no return call. They are currently sending daily texts and emails trying encourage more pre-buy. It is of my opinion this company will be out of business, they are now only trying to create cash flow on product they will not deliver.

Requires an act of congress to get your tank filled even though have already purchased a pre buy order! My experience has been horrible for the past 3 years!

1.4

I am told that there is up to a 15-business day lead time for a fill. It sometimes goes more than 15 days and when they do come, they only give me a partial fill. Then I have to start the process all over again. I also have an account to fill my Churches tanks. The same thing happens. Right now our parsonage tank is at 1% and the family in the parsonage have been waiting over 15 business days. We have a cold spell coming up and they have 4 small children. Two of which are babies! This is totally unacceptable. I will never recommend Thrifty to anyone again.

User's recommendation: Purchase your propane somewhere else!

Total Scam

1.0

Total scam.. They only take cash or checking.. Be aware..Don't fall into it. I almost did. Told the stupid lady on phone that I will pay with CC only. Still insisted on checking acct. number after I told her I didn't keep that much $$ in checking.. Stay away from these idiots. Do your homework online and read all of the complaints against these shady people...

User's recommendation: Do NOT fall for this scam.

Can't get my tank filled

1.0

I prepaid for gas, I paid for "storage fee's" and yet I make the only call all winter to ask for my tank to be filled all the way and the driver leaves me 100 gallons for a 500 gallon tank. This is a repeat issue. Go elsewhere

Worst propane provider ever, very dishonest.

1.0

Totally unreliable, prepaid for 3,000 gallons and ran out waiting for delivery. Had to purchase from America's and delivery was within 24 hours. No one should have to fight for product they paid for. Can not even get them to answer the phone.

User's recommendation: Any other propane supplier than Thrifty.

Good prices - that's it. Arianna (sp) rudely hung up on me when I asked for the propane price breakdown. She sounded exasperated, said, "oh my God" and hung up.

There is no customer service. I made the mistake of purchasing pre-buy. You then become a cockroach. Your order is held at least 15 days before processing - no matter your tank size or percentage, and they will limit the amount of propane they will deliver to you. I...

Unsatisfied customer

Paid over $4000 for pre-buy fuel and they have not delivered any propane since First I waited the 10 to 15 working days then I'm told they can't tell me when I will get a delivery because it's winter and Covid 19 Took the money from my checking within one hour of order Can't use credit card If they let me use credit card I could get a refund from the card company. I have 2 houses that are out of gas but they won't deliver what I paid for don't order

User's recommendation: don't order They are taking peoples money and do not intend to deliver any propane.

I did another prebuy of 2750 gallons prebuy and Thrifty has delivered per their terms. When you prebuy they charge multiple hazmat fees based on your prebuy size. In cases like mine, I have multiple tanks filed at once so I did pay for hazmat fees on deliveries that never occur. So you have to be careful and question fees at time of order placement. DO NOT USE WEBSITE TO PLACE ORDER CALL.

User's recommendation: Order by phone not website, challenge # of Hazmat fees on prebuy orders, understand their terms and conditions, have multiple tanks with excess capacity to ride out longer deliveries.

Bad customer service

1.3

Original review updated by user Feb 16, 2021

You can never get customer service on the phone. You can leave a message but never get a call back. I was able to communicate with them by email but it was too late. When I questioned them about my 7-10 day delivery, they said it would take another two weeks. The weather wasnt great but I saw another company deliver propane to my neighbor which was day 12 anyway. Draining pipes now. Stay away from this company.

User's recommendation: Use another company even if you have to pay a little more.

No response. Pre-buy is a trap.

2.2

After dealing with this company for over 15 years and receiving unpredictable but occasionally decent service, I began using their Pre-buy program. Once I paid up front for 1,000 or 1,200 gallons, service deteriorated. There is no good way of contacting this company. I have spent the last 26 days attempting to have them respond to an email, phone call or live chat all to no avail. What seems obvious now is that they gather up as much Pre-buy money over the warm months and then have no incentive to delivery propane for which they have already been paid. Why deliver my 569 gallons for no paycheck when they can deliver the same 569 gallons to someone who is going to write them a check for $1,138? If you need propane when winter hits, look elsewhere as I am doing.

User's recommendation: Pay more elsewhere if service matters.

Warning to others

1.0

This is a horrible company to deal with! Maybe their prices are low BUT they will not deliver within their 15 day window EVER, they flat out lie to you when they say they will respond, they do not respond, when asked about delivery time they just say they will contact dispatch, they only deliver a tiny amount of propane at a time, and they are overall terrible. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

User's recommendation: STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!
