      Requested a propane gas delivery on Feb. 6th 2025. On Thursday Feb. 20th I received a voicemail stating that the delivery would be made within the next three business days. On Tuesday morning Feb 25th my wife called for an update on the delivery. She was told by the representative that she (the representative) would have to get up with a manager and would call her back. After receiving no call my wife called again that evening and was told the same thing. After still not receiving a return call, I called myself this morning and was told the same thing once again. Propane is the primary source of heat for my home and family of five including three children .

      This company provides propane gas to me and I have been a customer for several years. This year the company has failed on 3 occasions to fill my propane tanks in a reasonable time frame which has caused our family to go without heat and the ability to cook or take showers. On February 9th, 2025 I placed an order through their website and was given a message that my tanks would be filled by February 21st or sooner. Today is the 24th and I still don't have propane. This company knowingly doesn't fill tanks based on need but instead focuses on profit and I was told the date I was given was a target date. It is unacceptable and in my opinion criminal to let families go without heat for days.

      My grandmother is a 75 year old widow. She uses Ferrellgas for propane to heat her home, heat her hot water heater and for her stove. The tank is leased with Ferrellgas and the meter was stuck showing 20% of the tank being full. On February 8th she realized her tank was actually empty, so she called the company and told them what happened and asked for propane to be delivered. She has been without heat to her home, hot water and a stove for two weeks. We've called and asked about paying extra for an emergency visit of some sort, asked for managerial communication of any kind...and we've got nothing at all.

      My mother, ****** ******, has been without propane since Feb. 8. She contacted Ferrell Gas to request a fill and they informed her it would there by Feb. 21. It is still not here. She uses propane for her heat, hot water and cook stove. Ferrell Gas is aware of this and has not delivered. The tank is leased from Ferrell Gas and was indicating that she was at 20% when she was at 0%.

      Please see the attached response.Ms. ***** has indicated that she has submitted this complaint on behalf of her mother, who is a Ferrellgas customer. Ms. ***** is an authorized contact on the customer’s account. A review of the customer’s account reveals she leases a 500-gallon propane container. The account is set up as Will Call, which means that the customer must contact Ferrellgas before a delivery order is placed.

      I called for a tank refill close to three weeks ago. The refill date came and went When my tank became critically low I started calling. I assumed they would send someone right out That was not the case AT ALL
      . They allowed my tank to run empty. I called and told them it was empty there response was "Well your not on the schedule today" That was Friday February the 21st 2025.They don't deliver on the weekends so I'm stuck at least untill Monday without heat or a way to prepare meals. Who knows when they will decide to come fill the tank

      2/14/2025 Date of order

      2/19/2025 Called in to support to see if they had a schedule and could make it out shortly as I was going to run out of propane, I informed them that we had two kids and we needed propane asap. Ian informed me if I ran out of propane to go get space heaters for my house. That was a response I was not prepared for. He said it should be there by the 21st. The call ended in disbelief

      2/21/2025 Called back into support as the delivery date on the receipt stated the 21st, No show and we are at 1% remaining on propane. She said I could expedite for a $100 fee, this makes no sense, when you should have been here on the 21st per my receipt. This company doesn't care about you or your family. They will be out next week hopefully, but now we have to cancel people coming into town and go find a hotel to stay at......

      Been waiting for a propane delivery since 2/10/25. Called Ferrellgas and reported very low.
      The next day tank was empty. Called as was told the could not come until next week. Called
      several more time that week and was told the same thing. Then they promised Monday 2/17/25
      didn't show up, they called and said rescheduled until 2/18/25. I have text confirmation delivery
      would be 2/18. Didn't come. I called again 2/19 and was told we were on schedule for that
      day, delivery 13 of 16. Still did not come. Multiple calls 2/20 with no satisfaction. Called again today and was told again on schedule for today 2/21. I can't believe they treat their customers like this. They don't care.
      This is my 85 year old mothers house, she has had no hot water or stove for 11 days now. Thank god she doesn't heat with propane or she would have frozen by now.
      I asked for a call from a manager and I'm still waiting for that. I have spoken with an agent Keith who has been very helpful, even though he didn't have the best news, and he did call me back like he said he would.

      Propane delivery was made on 2/21/25 around 6:00 pm

      We are satisfied with the delivery, however, still think this was a horrible to treat an elderly long time customer.

      Ferrell Gas is the propane provider for my home. There have now been multiple instances where I have ordered propane weeks ahead of the need and it taking them 3-4 weeks to deliver. This particular instance, I ordered gas on 1/25/2025 and still they have not delivered gas to my home as of today 02/21/2025. There is no other way to heat my home and last night I ran out of gas. I'm exhausted with the constant problems when it comes to getting gas from this company. The cost to change companies is upwards of 600 plus dollars. I cant understand what the issue is. There is an excuse every time for the last 5 years. It very much seems as though ferrell gas does not care about their customers.

      Ferrell gas has refused to deliver gas despite payment. They made me pay to ensure they would deliver gas, temperature was below freezing and I explained I have children in house, my elderly mother with heart conditionbut after taking payment they refused to deliver gas. I tried to beg wnd explain our situation but the manager name chris refused to help.
      This is inhumane.
      -1 degree after a snow storm with children ( 5 yr old) stuck in a house with no heat in inhumane.
      This issue need to be addressed.
