We ve had Shipley for two years for propane. We only have a small fireplace and only use it on the weekends. I started thinking that our bill was a little expensive and decided to look around. I found that most propane services, especially the mom and pop ones, don t charge you to use their propane tanks. I was spending $89 a year to rent one from Shipley. I also realized that it didn t matter how little we used Shipley was coming every other week to top off our tank. They were charging anywhere from $3.49-$4.09 a gallon. When I called to cancel they told me I need to pay a $89 pickup fee for the tank and another $1.25 to be pumped. So essentially I m paying another $1.25 on top of the per gallon charge I already paid. Plus I just paid the tank rental fee for the year. This company will nickel and dime you until the end. Do yourself a favor and call a local propane service like Heller Gas. They offered me $1.85 per gallon for my first fill and that will get me through the whole winter, plus they don t charge you to rent their tanks. I will never consider Shipley in the future or recommend them to anyone.
