R P Brazos Oil Co is an oil delivery company that says it has been in business for 50 years. Its site says C.O.D. delivery is made 1-5 business days from an order, depending on when it is next in the neighborhood, and lists a service area that includes Berlin, Cromwell, Durham, Glastonbury, Haddam and Madison. A 2026 customer who had run out of oil while away on vacation said they called because the company said it had 24-hour service, and was refused because they had never bought oil from it before. That customer, with three small children in the house, said the person on the phone told them it was "not my problem." A 2024 customer whose heating oil ran out, with the home at 58 degrees, said the woman who answered the phone told them, "we only help people that we've previously brought oil to." On Google it holds 3.5 stars from 6 ratings.
Had just recently returned from vacation and our oil company was closed and unfortunately had ran out of oil why we were away so I decided to call this company because they said they do have 24-hour service and then they refused to serve us even though we have three small children in the house one of them a 4-month-old baby less than 24hrs before this giant storm. The exact words from the person on the phone where "not my problem". Their reason being was because we had never purchased oil from them in the past. I would be proud to be a customer of this company that has a 24-hour service but refuses to help someone that is willing to pay full or even extra for emergency service even though I may not be a customer but instead was told that your children are "not my problem". Awesome way to drum up new business thank you RP Brazos Oil Co.
I called December 22, 2024 at 9:30am. I asked for help because my oil ran out. My husband is away and unable to answer his phone. I told the woman who answered the phone that I had an EMERGENCY and my heating oil ran out, my home is 58 degrees. She then told me that they can’t help me unless it’s an emergency. I repeated, “it’s an emergency my oil ran out”. She then said, “we only help people that we’ve previously brought oil to”. I reminded her that my husband is away and that he normally does this stuff so I’m not sure if we’ve used them. Needless to say, I AM STILL OUT OF OIL AND STILL ON A MISSION TO GET SOMEONE TO EVEN PICK UP THE PHONE ON A SUNDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS. This person should be fired. They are an absolute embarrassment to the company and is inhumane 0 out of 10. What kind of place is this????
