I recently moved into a new house and ran completely out of propane. I called Leo Jones Propane on Wednesday and set up service. They told me they would get a driver out as soon as possible. Today is Friday. I received a message stating that the driver had been to my house and my gate was locked. I don't have a gate. They recited my correct address back to me. GPS takes you directly to my house. I informed the dispatcher of this. She informed me that they could come back but it would be a $200 emergency service fee. I asked how it was my fault that their driver either could not find my house or didn't even try and simply lied. She asked to call me back after checking with the driver, called me back and stated it would be $150 service charge. She then told me that they were essentially doing me a favor because normally they require 24 hour notice to be put on the route and since I had only called this morning...I informed her that I called on Thursday but after checking it was actually Wednesday that I ordered service. She then informed me that the girl that took my call originally on Wednesday messed up and routed it through the wrong office. I then clarified that their dispatcher screwed up and then their driver screwed up but she still wanted me as the customer to pay for their mistakes. She informed me I had to pay the fee or I would not get propane until next Thursday. This leaves me and my kids with out hot water or cooking ability for over a week! I told her I would no longer require their service and that I would be writing this review.
Update: This is insane! I called the Redding office to complain. I guess there are multiple offices. I spoke to Vinnie the driver who couldn't find my house today. After some back and forth he informed me that he would be back out tonight with no service charge. Literally minutes later Charity called from the Burney office stating a driver would be out from her office but there would be a service charge. I told her that I had literally just got off the phone with Vinnie. She said, that's out of the Redding office and we are the Burney office. There will be a charge. I told her I just spoke to Vinnie who said there wouldn't be. She said that was the Redding office, this is the Burney office and we deliver to you. I told her that this was ridiculous and that they needed to get their shit together and that I'd be calling Vinnie back. She said she knows they do and this was really embarrassing. I then called Vinnie. He answered (he sounds like a Vinnie) I said Hi Vinnie and then heard click and was transferred back to the Burney office. I asked to speak to a manager. I spoke to Steven. He was both rude and condescending. He informed me that Vinnie denies saying that. I'm not sure how he spoke to Vinnie in these few minutes. He informed me that despite them screwing up multiple times that I was a new customer and that there would be a service charge. I told him that you would think being a new customer they would treat me better. He chuckled and said, you would think but that's not the way it is. I informed him that Vinnie was a liar and that I didn't realize I had to record conversations with his employees. He then told me that they normally require a weeks notice to set up delivery. I told him that's weird because Charity told me 24 hrs and I had given them 48. I asked if they recorded their customer service calls and he stated they didn't. He told me if I wanted service I could pay $150 service, wait til Thursday or better yet spend Christmas with no propane! Yep he brought up Christmas!! I told him he was leaving 2 kids without hot water. His response was well I told you what was required to get service. I asked for his boss and he told me he didn't have one. I asked for the Redding bosses name and number. He gave me the name but claimed to not have the number read more
