      I closed my account with **********************. When the leased tank was removed in May of 2025 there was 250 gallons of propane that was removed from the tank by Amerigas. They calculated the value of the propane at $1,002.50 (250 gallons at $4.02/gallon.) When contacted by chat on their web site, I was told I would receive the refund within 4 to 6 weeks. As of today 7/8/25, 9+weeks later, I have not recieved the money. I contacted Amerigas again today and was told the credit would be issued when the final bill was finalized. There is no outstanding balance on this account. The last bill issued on 5/2/25 was paid on 5/3/25.

      I have been contact by phone and email by a representative of the company.  They apologized and indicated I would receive the refund by check within 10 to 14 days. I have been told before that I would receive the refund within a certain period of time. Due to these past unfulfilled promises, I will not consider this matter resolved until i have the check in my hand.

      We cancelled Amerigas after 23 years. We had been billed for two deliveries in the same month (one was not ours) and we were assessed late fees for this incorrect bill. Four separate contact with telephone customer service, at least three episodes of chat customer support and then email contact with a customer service *** lead to the deletion of the added charge, this over a four week period. Telephone customer service then informed us that we had to appeal the late charges separately. This demonstrated that Amerigas is an unreliable partner, we cannot afford another error of theirs. We left their system and arranged for pickup.We were informed of and assessed $299.99 tank retrieval fee and a separate service call charge for approx $130. We were informed by telephone customer service and chat customer service that the fees were valid for the tank removal since they were posted online "a few years back" and that the service call, not indicated online, is not a duplicative service. Chat customer service admitted that this was not part of our service contract from 2002 when we initiated service. Amerigas tank was onsite when we moved in. The $299.99 is described as valid for having been posted online. It is notable that the service call fee is not posted online.We are asking that both fees are waived for 23 years of on-time payment and for the punitive and duplicative cancellation fees.

      There are multiple billing (& delivery) issues but I am seeking recourse on charges for Amerigas incorrectly disconnecting my propane line after filling my tank and then charging me a fee to reconnect it and then late fees because I didn't pay this charge even though I was actively disputing it through several phone calls to their customer support.I requested a ******************** tank fill-up using their SPRING25 promotion code per mailer they sent to me. They filled my tank on 3/25/25 but also disconnected the line. I called on 3/29/25 to find out why they disconnected my line and they told me it was for a leak test....which was not required because my tank was already at 20% at the time of re-filling. They reconnected my tank on 4/5/25 and then sent me a bill for it on 5/5. I called to dispute the bill and was told my tank was disconnected because I hadn't received a delivery in 24 months...but that wasn't true because my last delivery was 1/3/24. Amerigas told me they were opening a case to investigate and I would hear back within 3 days...but I didn't get any response and only a bill for a second late fee on 6/25/25. I called again on 7/3/25 and was told that the "team had found the charges valid because the technician performed the job"...even though it was their mistake to disconnect me in the first place.I am disputing the $329.39 reconnection charge and two $36.00 late fees for a total of $401.39 in incorrect charges.Beyond these charges, I cannot express how frustrated I am with their deceptive advertising for a price they didn't honor, horrible delivery (2 failed attempts, an incorrect disconnect and delayed reconnect), totally useless customer support, and predatory billing.

      They will not provide my refund amount. They said if my tank was over 5% I would get refunded. The tank was at 29% when picked up. They continue to tell me their AP has not processed it yet and they cannot give me an update. 8t has been 2 months. They will not respond to my emails and when I reach out I get the same response stating they don't know when or how much will process. This is not an acceptable way to do business. I paid my account in full when I closed it and requested they pickup the tank. They should be able to have processed my refund by now.

      I am writing on behalf of my Mom, **** ********, who has dementia. I have power of attorney over her finances and received text today from a debt collector regarding a long running issue with Amerigas.We sold my mom's home on 2/28/24 and contacted Amerigas by phone on 2/29. We were told that we could not cancel service because the account was in my late father's name. I submitted the death certificate and was told in the original call that I would be receive a refund upon receipt, due to previous over payment and negative account balance at the time (on 3/1/24 statement it was -$154.43).Over the following several months, I learned that Amerigas never read the meter following the house sale and continued to charge my mom for gas used by the new owner for the next two months. Ultimately, we did not receive a refund, and they say that she still owes them $39.55. So a total of $193.98 is in dispute.We made multiple calls to customer service (5/21, 6/6, 7/19/24) and emails (7/19, 7/28, 8/11, and 9/29/24) to request the refund and a cancellation of the charges. Note that on May 21, the representative that we spoke with said that there was no delivery ticket associated with the $181.99 charge on the 4/23/24 statement and the name on the delivery was ******* ******, the new owner of the house. She indicated that this would be sorted out in 3-5 business days and gave us these numbers RITM1728859 and CAS9216436 to follow up. On June 6 we were given the new case number CAS9267152. When we tried to follow up in later phone calls, no one could help us.I did learn that they did not read the meter for many months both before and after my mom moved out, so there is no way of knowing exactly how much gas to attribute to my mom vs. the new owner. We are open to a compromise - for example, prorating the bill based on gas used before/after sale. Additionally, my mom was charged $11.99/month meter fee for two months after she moved out and requested cancellation of service.

      I have an underground 500 gallon propane tank for storing propane at my home for residential use. It is in the backyard behind a door which is always closed. On 03/25/2025, AmeriGas made an unsolicited delivery. Without my permission and without knocking on the front door, the truck driver opened my backyard gate, delivered the propane and went away. I realized that the delivery has been done when I woke up later in the morning, saw the email from AmeriGas and verified my tank level.I was been given a bill of $429.76. I asked AmeriGas **************** to either waive the bill or take back the propane delivered. They have done neither. Since I never ordered this propane delivery, I should not be liable for any ********** account is strictly set to delivery on "call". My payment mode is set to "Payment due before delivery". AmeriGas acknowledges it was a mistake on their part but is unwilling to waive off the bill or take back the propane.AmeriGas has now added late charges to the account and the total pending amount is $429.76 + Late charges in April $36 + Late charges in May $36 for a total of $501.76

      At this time, AmeriGas has sent me the attached bill (Bill-July25.pdf).

      They have also referred me to A.R.M. Solutions (a debt collector). I informed the debt collector that I never ordered the supply from AmeriGas. ************* asked me to provide them in writing the exact scenario and I did provide them in writing (see attached LetterToARM.docx).

      Amerigas is sending us a $650 bill, because we called them to remove their tank, that was on our property, when we bought the house. Without my approval, they set up an account for us, and refuse to do anything with the bill, unless I agree to open the account, which would then make me a customer. We do not have any type of signed agreement with this company. I have called them 4 times, and get the same non-sense run around. My requests to speak to an actual person of authority have all been ignored. We are not a customer of **********************, never have been, this is absolute fraudulent billing

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
