Cancellation Fees
I just placed an order and I cancelled it so I can place another order. Can you waive the cancellation fee?
Our system is automated and there is a specific message thst was confirmed by you before cancelling stating the fee cannot be waived. Once cancellation is confirmed, it cannot be reversed. If you have an issue, contact is first before cancelling.
if you paid by cash and cancelled, you can place a new order by credit card without paying the fee.
How can I get a cancellation fee waived or refunded?
Cancellation fees cannot be waived or refunded. There are costs associated with cancelling an order and they are much more than the cancellation fee.
Why was I charged a cancellation fee when the oil company cancelled it and not me?
The dealer will only cancel an order that incurs a fee for the following reasons:
1. They went to your home and were unable to deliver your oil.
2. If you ordered by cash and they made several attempts to either deliver or contact you with no response.
3. If they went to your home and the tank location indicated on the order in incorrect.
Cancellations
Why was my order was cancelled by Codfuel.com
Any credit card orders that appear suspicious or are reported as potential fraud by our credit card processor will be cancelled.
PLEASE NOTE: Here are some but not all potential reasons for cancellation:
1. Multiple attempts at ordering after your card is declined.
2. Billing address does not match your bank statement for the card used.
3. Delivery address is different from the billing address (could delay your delivery, verification may be requested)
4. Card security code entered is incorrect.
5. If you have a commercial property and ordered a residential order.
6. Name on credit card is different than your Codfuel.com account (may require verification)
If your order has been cancelled for any reason, a full refund will be submitted back to your card. To prevent order cancellation, please use your correct billing information when enterting your payment info. Make sure it matches your bank statement. Also, please check your inbox and spam folder for any confirmation message and reply to confirm the message.
Why is there a fee if I cancel my oil delivery?
There are cancellation fees for a few reasons. They are NOT to punish a customer. We pay a fee to the credit card bank on every transaction, plus we pay a fee for the refund too. In addition, it costs us time and labor to make sure the truck has been cancelled and does not arrive at your home. This takes manual time and several people to accomplish this. This is for both cash or credit orders.
Cancelling orders also takes away another customers ability to order for that day. In addition, the oil dealer secures the amount of oil needed for your order and has to pay for it in advance.
Cancellation fees are an automated process, PLEASE Do Not request waiving cancellation fees. Thank you.
How can I cancel an order for oil?
There are two ways to cancel an order.
1. If your order is NOT a same day delivery, please sign into your account and look for the "CANCEL" button under the "recent orders" section of your account dashboard. Click the cancel button to cancel the order. IF there is no cancel button, then it may be too late to cancel online and you must cancel by method #2 below:
2. To cancel an oil delivery order if there is no cancel button on the order in your account, you MUST contact the oil dealer directly (immediately). The dealers phone number is on your email confirmation and also in your account next to yuor order. If your cancellation is not received in time before the oil delivery is made, you will be responsible for payment of the delivery. There is a cancellaton fee for all cancelled orders. This fee is displayed during the ordering process. (Please Note: Cancelling an order and reordering still counts as a cancellation).
I ordered a cash delivery and now I want to pay by credit card. Will there be a cancellation fee even if I reorder?
Unfortunately, yes, there will be a cancellation fee. Our system is automated and the we cannot cancel and reorder without this system because we have many different oil dealers and it is vital that they receive the cancelled order while avoiding duplicate orders. Duplicate orders can cause oil spills.
There are 3 points to verify before placing and order where you can go back and pay ny credit card before completing your order.. There is the schedule page, then a summary page then there is a final box to click to confirm your order before placing it.
Please do not request to waive cancellation fees as there is also manual work involved in cancellations and it creates work for bith Codfuel.com and the oil dealers.
I ordered a CASH oil delivery and I missed the driver and or confirmation call, is there a cancellation fee?
If the driver came to your house and he was unable to deliver the oil, there is a cancellation fee. If you missed a confirmation call, they can reschedule the delivery for their next delivery date. If you cannot wait for the new delivery date, there will be a cancellation fee.
If I order a Cash delivery and need to cancel because I can no longer wait for the truck, is there a cancellation fee?
Codfuel.com or their oil dealers do not take delivery time requests. If possibe, the oil dealer may give a close, approximate time, however, times may change depending on weather, traffic, truck or labor issues, etc. If you cannot be home for a cash delivery, you can call the oil company and tell them where you can leave payment for them. If you must cancel, there will be a cancellation fee. We strongly urge you to order with a credit card if time is important.
What if I entered an invalid email address on my account?
If an invalid email is entered for an account, any oil delivery or service order will be cancelled. We must be able to communicate correctly via email before proceeding with any deliveries or service. If an email bounces back or is returned to sender, the order will be cancelled.
If I place an order and cancel it the same day, is there still a cancellation fee?
Yes, cancellation fees are in place for several reasons. We incur fees from the credit card companies on each order placed. We must pay these fees on your order even if it's cancelled. Also, there is a process on our end to cancel an order and it takes time and resources. We must also contact the dealer you ordered with to confirm your order is removed from their route, then issue a refund. Additionally, when you place an order, then cancel it, it prevenst another customer from being able to order for that day.
The cancellation fee is displayed throughout the order process and applies to both cash and credit orders . Please allow approx. 5-7 business days for your bank to reflect a refund on your credit card account.
I placed an order for a CASH payment but I need oil sooner than the date I scheduled it for. Is there still a cancellation fee?
Yes, all cancellatios require a fee. You are in control of selecting the delivery date. We have many dealers to choose from who are available every day. There is a cancellation process for both Codfuel and the oil dealer that takes each of us time to process and confirm so no errors are made and the order does not go out on the truck. Once an order is placed our automated system distributes the order to the dealer and they process it for the trucks route.
I was charged a cancellation fee because I ran out of oil and could not wait for my delivery, can this be waived?
Unfortunately, a cancellation fee cannot be waived due to the costs associated with fees and labor that we have to pay. In addition, the oil dealer purchased the oil for your delivery and also reserved a spot on their route. Every cancelled order means someone else could not get on the schedule for their oil delivery. Please do not request waiving of cancellation fees. Each dealer is independelty operated.
I ordered oil with a credit card but now I want to pay the driver in cash. Is there still a cancellation fee?
Yes, there is a cancellation fee due to reprocessing time and credit card fees incurred by credit card companies.
I just placed an order but the promo code I used is not reflected on the order. Should I cancel it and reorder?
Please DO NOT cancel an order if you forgot to enter the promo code or click the apply button, this will trigger a cancellation fee. Send us a message via our contact form ASAP so we can apply the code. We cannot apply a code after your oil is delivered.
How can I cancel a service call order?
To cancel a service call order you MUST contact the service provider directly (immediately), or cancel it in your account. There is a $20 cancellaton fee for all cancelled orders. This fee is displayed during the ordering process. (Please Note: Cancelling an order and reordering still counts as a cancellation).
Credit Card
I have a question regarding charges on my credit card. How can I rectify it?
All credit card questions are answered via e-mail only. Please use our contact form and send a detailed message and we will respond quickly to resolve any issues. Do not dispute any charges with your credit card issuer until we rectify your concerns. Disputed charges will result in activating our enforcement department and permanently closing your account.

We currently accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express Cards ONLY from existing customers. As of 1/1/2019 we no longer accept American Express for new customers.
I did not take as many gallons as I expected. (Example:) I pre-paid for 200 gallons but only needed 150. How and when will I get credit for the remainder?
Your card is charged at the time the order is placed. If you ordered a fill up, your card is charged for the tank size x the price per gallon. Your final total will only be charged for the amount of gallons that was delivered. Your card will be sent an automatic refund for the difference from the ordered amount and the delivered amount. PLEASE NOTE: It takes your credit card issuer approx. 5-7 business days after your order is posted to reflect the refund on your account. You DO NOT need to contact us, Codfuel.com is designed to refund your card automatically.
Why do I need a payment profile?
Payment profiles are optional, but they will provide you with the most user freindly experience. They allow you to place orders quickly without having to enter your credit card each time you order. Your payment profiles are safe with Codfuel.com. Nobody has access to your information, NOT even us.
How can I create a payment profile for my account?

1. Click on the Green Payment Profiles button
2. Click the "Add a New Payment Profile" link
3. Enter your credit card number and billing information
4. Select "Yes" to make the payment your default payment
5. Click "Next" on the bottom of the page to save it.
You can enter as many credit cards as you like. They are all safe and secure.
I cancelled my oil delivery. Why was my credit card was still charged?
Your card was charged at the time of ordering. Your card will be refunded as soon as the oil dealer posts your cancelled order in our system (less a cancellation fee). Please allow approx. 5-7 business days for your credit card issuer to reflect the refund on your account. A cancellation fee is charged on every cancelled order even if it the order was placed recently. (see cancellation section of our HELP section for more details)
I already placed an order, how can I change the credit card I selected for this order?
Since our system is automated, once an order is placed, you cannot change the payment method. The only way to choose another payment method is to cancel your current order by calling the oil dealer or click the "cancel" button in your account. PLEASE NOTE: If the order has just been placed by credit card, there will not be a cancel button and you will need to call the dealer to cancel it. You will not be able to place an order until the dealer cancels your order in their account. This may not happen immediately.
*Normal cancellation procedures will apply.
I tried to place an order but my credit card is not going through.
We have very strict security when ordering. Please make sure you are entering the correct billing address and zip code and that it matches the billing address from your credit card statement. If they do not match, your card will not be authorized.
PLEASE NOTE: If you enter incorrect billing information, your funds will be authorized and you will have a pending charge on your card, but your card will be declined due to security. Please allow approx. 3-5 business days for this pending charge to drop off your account. We have no control over this as it is a credit card processing system.
My card was charged but I didn't receive an order confirmation and it's not showing in my account either. Why?
If your card was charged but no order was generated, this means your card may have been approved for funds but declined for security reasons. If your card was declined for security, it will appear as a pending transaction on your credit card account. The banking system will put the funds back on your account automatically. This typically takes approx. 3-5 business days.
We have no control over banking. It is impertaive when entering your credit information that you enter the correct security code and make sure the billing address matches the address on file at your bank or it will be declined.
I have a new credit card or expiration date since my last order. How can I change it in the Website?
When you are placing your order, you will be able to enter your new credit card and expiration date when you get to the credit card page. If you already have a payment profile set up (recommended) , please sign into your account and click on "Payment Profiles" to update your card information.
Credit Card Disputes
I had an issue with my credit card and/or delivery. Should I call my bank to dispute the charges?
No, never dispute charges on your card before contacing Codfuel.com via our contact form first. We take credit card disputes and threats of disputes very seriously. We can assist you in correcting any issue you may have. Disputing charges will increase our fees from the credit card companies and that will increase oil prices. Our system is designed to close any account that disputes charges or threatens to dispute charges before giving us an opportunity to assist you in the correction of the issue.
There is never a reason to dispute a charge. All disputed charges will be sent to our legal team.
Delivery Pool
Why was my order was transferred to another dealer?
Codfuel.com offers a "delivery pool" which is a service we provide our customers. In the event that one of our dealers has a truck breakdown or any situation where they cannot deliver on schedule, they will put your order in our delivery pool. This gives the ability to transfer your order to other dealers in your area and they will make your delivery for the dealer you ordered from at the same price on your order.
Email Issues
I am not receiving emails from Codfuel.com. What can I do?
Some ISP's (ie: Optimum, Gmail, etc.) try to stop spam from getting into their customer's inbox. While they are doing that, sometimes good emails are filtered out. One suggestion would be to add info@codfuel.com to your contact list in your email application. Some email providers will send mail through if we are listed as a contact.
For Optimum customers, the only suggestion is to sign into your Optimum account and look for the "Spam Scrub" link and turn it off. So far this has worked for many of our customers. Optimum does things differently to reduce spam. they block out a series of IP addresses rather than blocking just the bad ones. If our IP address falls in between a block of ip addresses they are blocking, you will not receive our emails even though we have a good email reputation. This is a fault of Optimum.
Which email services work best with Codfuel.com?
Other than Optimum email, most email providers work well with Codfuel.com. We've had he best success with Gmail customers.
Error Messages
I received an error message when placing my order. What should I do?
If you received an error message, the best thing to do so we can help you is to copy the error message and email it to us via our contact form so we can help you. Most errors ocurr on credit card orders when the security code on the credit card is entered incorrectly or the billing address of the credit card does not match the address on your bank statement.
If incorrect information was entered, please wait 10 minutes, then retry your order with the correct information.
PLEASE NOTE: you must wait at least 10 minutes or you will receive another error message because it will appear as a duplicate transaction.
If you enter incorrect billing information, your card will show a charge, but declined for security. That charge will drop off your card automaticaly by the banking system. This typically takes 3-5 business days depending on the bank.

$0. Codfuel.com is FREE for all consumers. Simply register for your free account and order oil at your own convenience. There are never any commitments, contracts or processing fees.
What is C.O.D Fuel?
C.O.D fuel is simply purchasing heating oil on a delivery to delivery basis. You as the consumer can choose the fuel oil company of your choice and order at your own convenience. With today's high cost of living, most consumers are on a tighter budget than ever before. It makes economic sense to be in control of your own oil deliveries. You decide how many gallons to order and when you want it.
Is Codfuel.com Safe?
Yes, Codfuel.com offers the safest methods to online or offline ordering. Not only is our website secure but CODFUEL.com's automated system eliminates the potential of individual employees, fuel oil dealers, delivery drivers or operators from viewing your credit card information. We also have a secure socket layer (SSL) and PCI Compliant Servers which is the highest level of safety.
I have a comment, complaint or testimonial about your service or a particular oil dealer. How can I express it?
All comments, complaints, testimonials or reviews must be sent via e-mail so they can be documented. We take all correspondence very seriously and address each one. Please do not hesitate to send us your detailed message via our contact form.
Why purchase C.O.D Heating Oil?
C.O.D fuel is the same principal as filling up your car at the gas station. Certainly, with all of the choices of gas stations out there, you wouldn't want to commit yourself to a long term contract with only one. Plus, when you go to the gas station, they don't force you to top off your tank. You simply stop the pump at your convenience or at a dollar amount that suits your budget at the time. (especially now where prices have exceeded $3.00-$4.00 per gallon.) C.O.D fuel gives you the same flexibility.
How can the "COD" companies charge so much less per gallon than the larger companies?
“COD" fuel prices are less expensive because they do not include a repair service contract or hidden finance charges for monthly billing cycles. Most large companies that offer “free” service contracts must factor in the costs for repair technicians, repair vehicles, truck fuel, burner parts and a myriad of other factors and then add them to the fuel price. Unfortunately, if you do not have burner problems of your own, your hard earned money is paying to have someone else’s burner repaired.
Do I need a service contract if I purchase "COD" fuel?
No. You do not need a service contract to purchase C.O.D fuel, but the choice is yours. Most "COD" companies have their own service dept. or work directly with a reliable service company that can offer you a service contract. Some consumers feel that a service contract can offer peace of mind, yet some consumers rather pay for service as needed just like their oil deliveries.
Is it true that C.O.D companies are not licensed or insured?
False, The oil industry is closely monitored by the state. All oil companies must be licensed and properly insured or they will not be able to load their trucks at the oil terminal. Also, the state performs a background check on all applicants prior to receiving a license to deliver oil.
When I purchase oil on a "COD" basis am I getting inferior quality oil?
No. In fact, All fuel companies purchase their oil from the same places regardless of how large or small the company is. If you were to visit an oil terminal today where fuel companies purchase the oil, you would see a variety of different companies (large and small) waiting in line to load the same oil onto their truck.
How does Codfuel.com price the oil?
Codfuel.com does NOT price the oil. Each individual oil company sets their own oil prices. Their prices are updated as the market changes. Their prices may be different per delivery area depending on the company and the logistics from their home base. For example: If a company is located 50 miles away from a certain zip code, the cost of oil may be slightly higher than if they delivered to a zip code only 5 miles from their home base. All companies do not have different oil prices, but due to the additional cost of labor, road taxes and diesel fuel it is in their right to charge differently.
ALL oil prices are displayed on Codfuel.com and there are NEVER any surprises. You always pay the prices posted on your order. You will also reeceive a delivery confirmation with all prices stamped on it.

Oil Deliveries
What is the price of heating oil today? What price per gallons will I pay for my oil?
You will pay the price per gallons that is on your order. For example: If you ordered a specific amount of gallons (ie: 100 gallons), then you will pay the price per gallon that is on your order (as long as you receive the whole amount ordered). If you take less than the ordered amount, you will pay the appropriate price per gallon that coincides with the price chart on your order depending on the amount of gallons received.
If you order a fill up or your tank fills up prior to what you ordered, then you will pay the appropriate price per gallon that coincides with the price chart on your order depending on the amount of gallons received.
I haven't received my oil delivery yet, how can I confirm that I am on the delivery schedule?
If you received a delivery confirmation in your e-mail, this means you are on the schedule. If you did not receive it, please check your junk mail folder. You can also sign into your account and look under the "My Recent Orders" section to confirm your order is scheduled. For more delivery information, you must contact the oil Company you selected for your oil delivery. Their phone number is located on your delivery confirmation.
How come my oil delivery ticket from the driver has a different price than what was on my Codfuel.com order?
In most cases, the driver does not have access to the current price per gallon at the time of delivery. The price per gallon that is charged is what is reflected on your Codfuel.com order for the amount of gallons delivered.
How can I be sure that I received the proper amount of oil I ordered?
Every oil truck has a meter that prints out the amount of gallons delivered. These meters are locked and sealed by the County Dept. of Weights & Measures. Meters are inspected frequently and resealed annually. A truck's meter is the only recognized method of accurately metering oil in our industry. Meter receipts are more accurate than tank gauges and tank sticks.
I did not receive my confirmation email after placing an order. How can I be sure you received it?
If you did not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk mail or spam folder. If you still cannot find it, sign into your account and look under "My Recent Orders". This will show you the last four (4) orders. To see your entire delivery history, click on "View all orders" in your account.
PLEASE NOTE: If your order does NOT appear in your recent deliveries, then it was not received. Please Retry.
I received an oil delivery and my receipt shows the correct amount of oil I ordered but my tank gauge doesn't show the same.
Your tank gauge is faulty or stuck. The meter from the oil truck is the only recognized oil metering device by the County or State. These meters are checked, inspected and sealed annually and they are also susceptible to random testing throughout the year. Truck meters are accurate to less than 1/10th of a gallon. If your meter receipt shows the correct gallons on the stamp, then you received the proper amount of oil. Tank gauges show only an approximate amount of oil and they are not accurate. Over time, the float on the end gets weighed down and it becomes even more inaccurate. Use a tank stick for better approximate measurement.
IF YOU NEED MORE HELP, PLEASE CONTACT THE OIL DEALER WHO DELIVERED YOUR OIL. THEY CAN HELP YOU FURTHER. If there was a delivery error, it will be corrected immediately.
I ordered oil but I need to change the delivery date. How can I change it?
Please contact the oil dealer you selected to change their delivery date. The dealers phone number is on your e-mailed delivery confirmation.
What are the Quick Order buttons for?
Quick Order buttons were added to make ordering quick and easy for those who order by credit card and want a specific amount of oil. Currently, there are buttons for 100, 150 and 200 gallon orders.
Do I need to be home for the oil delivery?
If you ordered oil via credit card, you do not need to be home for delivery. If you ordered a CASH delivery, you must be home to pay the driver in cash.
What if I need to cancel an oil delivery?
If you need to cancel your order, you must inform CODFUEL.com by using their contact form on the contact page. You MUST also contact the oil supplier separately (their phone number is on your e-mail confirmation). The supplier needs to know that you have cancelled your order so they can remove you from their delivery schedule. If your cancellation is not received in time before the oil delivery is made, you will be responsible for payment of the delivery. There is a cancellation fee for all cancelled orders. Please view our complete cancellation policy under our terms & conditions here
I ordered oil but how do I know what time the delivery will arrive?
All oil deliveries are delivered on a route. Most oil suppliers cannot pinpoint a time due to excessive volume. For the most convenience, please order with a credit card so you do not have to be home for delivery. Also, if you order from a participating dealer who provides email notifications, you can receive updates regarding delivery times or when the truck is on his way or finished with your delivery.
I placed an order for oil and now I want to change the amount of gallons I ordered. Can this be done?
Sorry, our system is automated. Once the order is placed, we cannot edit the order. If you ordered by cash, you can ask the driver to deliver more or less depending on your needs, but credit card orders cannot be changed.
Why are there two different oil prices?
The top line of prices are the actual oil prices. Many of the oil dealers offer a discount when you pay in cash. The bottom set of prices represent the price per gallon after the cash discount. For the most convenience, we encourage you to order by credit card so you do not have to wait for the truck to arrive.
I placed an order for oil by credit card and received a delivery confirmation but my oil was not delivered. Why?
If you placed a credit card order and it was not delivered, your order cold have been placed on HOLD if you were a first time customer and did not respond back to our confirmation request.
What time can I expect my oil delivery?
Unfortunately, we cannot give you a delivery time. This is why we recommend choosing the credit card payment method since you do not have to wait home for the truck. Oil trucks follow a route and new orders come in throughout the day, so it is difficult to offer a delivery window.
If you are paying cash and cannot wait, please call the oil dealer you ordered from and perhaps you could make arrangements on where you could leave the money for them.
What happens if the price changes after I place an order?
When you order oil, the price is locked in at the time of the order. The oil dealer purchases the oil so they have it available for your delivery. If the price goes down after you order it, and your oil was already purchased in advance, the oil dealer will lose money. On the other hand, if the price goes up, they will still honor the lower price you ordered at.
What happens if the price goes down after I ordered?
The oil price does not change once you place your order. This is also true if the oil price goes up after you order. You will get the oil at the lower price you ordered at. Oil is purchased at the time of your order to make sure it it available and on the truck for the day you need it.
I placed an order for oil by credit card and received a delivery confirmation but my oil was not delivered. Why?
If you placed a credit card order and it was not delivered, your order cold have been placed on HOLD if you were a first time customer and did not respond back to our confirmation request.
Payment
What do I do if I receive an error message while making a payment for an order?
If you receive an error, DO NOT place a new order. Please verify you are entering the correct billing information that matches your credit card statement or your card will be declined.
We suggest to sign into your account and click on Payment Profiles to create a payment profile to assure there is a fast and smooth ordering process.
When ordering by credit card, when you get to the credit card page please make sure you enter the correct billing information
that matches your bank or your order will be declined by the bank. (if you already have a payment profile set up, this does NOT apply to you)
If I order a CASH delivery, can I pay with a money order, check or a check made payable to cash?
No, if you order a CASH delivery, it must be in the form of cash only. Debit cards are considered credit cards.
If I select a CASH payment, can I use a debit card?
No, debit cards have fees from your card issuer, so they cannot be used as CASH. Debit cards are considered as credit cards.
I placed an order to be paid in CASH, can I switch to a Credit Card Payment?
You cannot switch payments. If you want to change to a credit card order, you must place a new order with a credit card and cancel the cash order.
Why was I charged and additional $25 for my delivery?
There are only two ways to have a $25 fee on your order:
1. If the dealer has a same day fee added. This would be on your confirmation email and also displayed at the time of your order.
2. If your tank took less oil than the oil dealers minimum delivery. For example: If a dealer has a minimum delivery of 50 gallons and your tank filled up at less than 50 gallons, they will add a $25 fee.
My tank took less gallons than what I ordered, why was my card charged again?
If your tank fills up before reaching the amount of gallons ordered and your price per gallon went up because, you card may be charged only if we did not charge your card enough for the intial order. For Example: If you ordered 100 gallons at $1.50 per gallon, we charge your card $150. If you only received 85 gallons and the 85 gallon price is $1.80 per gallon, the difference in your delivery total is $3.00. Your card will be charged an extra $3.00. *plus sales tax where applicable.
I placed an order to be paid by CREDIT CARD, can I switch to a CASH Payment?
If you placed a credit card order and want to change to CASH, you must contact the dealer you ordered from. PLEASE NOTE: Once your card is charged, there will be a cancellation fee for the credit card order. We advise to keep your order unchanged.
Price Bashes
What is a FLASH BASH?
A Flash Bash is a limited sale that typially last anywhere from 2 hours or more. The price per gallon is reduced for the amout of time on the countdown timer. Once the timer stops, the Bash is over and regular prices resume. If the Price Bash gets sold out prior to the timer ending, the sale will end.

All Bashes are already at the lowest rate possible so promo codes cannot be used. If the dealer accepts promo codes, it will be shown on the Bash.
