      Absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. I ordered propane online and received a text message immediately saying my propane would be delivered the next day. 3:50pm the next day I called the office to confirm that it was coming. First of all the direct number to my local office went to somewhere else, where the lady that answered told me there is no way that will be delivered today. It's funny they will make the delivery for a c*** ton dollars in emergency fees but won't hold to the confirmation delivery text I received. The fees they charge for hazmat and some other stupid nonsense that no other companies charge for. You would think a company with an F rating at 1.67/5 stars would change things to satisfy their customers.I only gave 1 star because it wouldn't let me proceed with zero. ZERO stars is my actual rating
