It's so sad, this was an A+ company with excellent, I mean Excellent Customer Service. We've been with them for 20 years. If you had a question, you could call, they'd answer it in 5 minutes. And it was the right answer, not a made up answer - or something they thought you just wanted to hear. I even recommended then to a local business - who subsequently hooked up with them. Loved them.
Then came Covid. They closed, for the most part, their regional locations and created a central answering, help, order delivery hub. Wait times are HUGE.
We got a propane fill in late October, 2020. Although we have been customers for 20 years, they somehow changed our address, so we did not get a bill. A month later, only due to an awesome mail delivery gal, we got our LATE bill, still with the wrong address, the charge per gallon was wrong & it included a late fee.
Called our local connection Sue Lin---, who has been working with us for 5 months - 11 emails thus far - to help us get the pricing corrected and pay our bill. Shout out to Sue!! If you're a business looking for an amazing customer service person, she may be searching.
LONG story short. Per company policy, Sue was not allowed to accept payment. The online bill had the wrong amount, so I wouldn't pay there. The billing department never sent a corrected bill - we requested this at least 3 times. Called their billing center, explained all I wanted to do was pay our bill. After being on the phone with then for 57 minutes & 17 seconds (shows how annoyed I was by this time - including the seconds), they still could not figure out how to accept my credit card!
At this point, I TOLD them that I was done wasting my time trying to pay the bill. It was THEIR responsibility to either: send a paper bill or call ME back when their system was working, and I would pay over the phone.
It's 2-16-21, we will need a propane refill within a couple weeks. I have not received a paper bill or a call back. They may not refill because we are such lazy slackers and haven't paid our bill!
I usually write reviews that uplift and promote great businesses; this review was very hard to write. I hope Amerigas reads this, take it seriously and becomes the company they once were. read more
