For more than twenty years, our members have SAVED MONEY on home heating oil they buy from the same full-service dealers delivering to their neighbors! Self-Reliance contracts with selected full-service fuel oil dealers throughout southeastern Massachusetts to charge our members no more than a low, fixed profit margin over and above each dealer’s wholesale cost. Our
contracts prevent any increase in this profit margin. This means prices to
our members can vary, up and down, only as wholesale prices vary. We track
the wholesale prices every day, so we always know what our members will pay.You, the member-customer, make all delivery arrangements directly with your cooperating dealer, and pay the Self-Reliance member co-op price.
The combined purchasing power of our membership attracts local full-service dealers to our cooperative. Dealers save on their own marketing costs, and are able to pass the savings along to Self-Reliance members. All participating dealers offer complete service, and a range of payment choices.
