I've been a loyal customer with this company for over 6 years. Only once in that time frame have I been approached to sign a contract to lower my price per liter. Recently while a neighbor was getting there tank filled I asked the price per liter and found out that they were paying 26 cents less a liter without a contract from another supplier. I then called avinar and was first told that 95.? Cents a liter was the best price they offer. I asked being a loyal customer if anything could be done. The lady said she would talk to her manager and get back to me. A few days later I was contacted to be advised that if I sign a contract in April ( my first call was in Jan.) that they could lower my price per liter by only 10 cents . Obviously I started calling other suppliers and everyone I contacted was at least 20 cents cheaper. In fact one supplier told me that I was the 39th caller since the previous month regarding the same scenario. I then started the process of switching suppliers. When the day came and the tanks were switched I called Avinar and told them to come and pickup there tank. Oh by the way after the second call from Avinar I told them I could get a better price somewhere else as I was switching suppliers and not to fill the tank anymore she expressed her regret . At no time was I advised that because I released them as my supplier and even though I was a loyal customer for 6 years there would be a $400 pickup fee . On top of that I had some service done on one of my propane appliances and he asked me who my supplier was . When I told him he told me about his poor experience working for them and that's why he quit and went to another company. So not only is Avinar a poor company to deal with apparently it's a poor company to work for. Avinar in my experience is a poor communicator , but also sleazy in the way that treat there loyal customers . I will legally do everything in my power to stop people from using Avinar as a propane supplier. After telling them we were going to send a negative review they've responded by cancelling the fee to pickup there tank. It still should've taken this much complaining effort to come to come to this resolve.
