I've just had an email exchange with Gasdeal over this offer which went along the lines of:

1. I placed the order for 2 11kg cylinders just before they removed the webpage.
2. They emailed asking if I had empty cylinders to exchange.
3. I emailed back saying no and stating that's why I liked the offer.
4. They stated there was a deposit (didn't say how much) and did I want to continue with my offer.
5. I said (politely) they took my money and I expected the sale to be honoured.
6. They wrote back saying ok but they'd like me to call when the cylinders are empty so they can collect them.
7. I've emailed back saying no problem and that I assume that will be when I exchange then for 2 full cylinders now the offer has finished.
8. No answer yet.

They have now confirmed when empty I can exchange the cylinders for new full ones so it's ended up being a very good deal.

I should have ordered first & asked questions later!! :sneaky: It would have been a bit cheeky - as I already have an account with them & know full well how the system works. They will have to pay FloGas for the cylinders - but if you keep swapping them for full ones it'll be worth it to them in the end.

I did point out to them that if I had a spare cylinder they would save 50% on future delivery costs, because I would order two at a time instead of just one, but that didn't work either. I suspect the person I was talking to wasn't far enough up the food chain to make that sort of decision. Or maybe FloGas don't charge GasDeal for doing the deliveries.

50 quid - Is this a good deal for a 47kg bottle?

I've had a calor bottle for about 10 years, it's just run out :LOL:

I can keep the calor and get a flogas without deposit or exchange, delivered free! according to this link.

The bottle remains the property of the supplier - but I think that's the score with calor anyway?

http://www.woldlink.co.uk/47kg-propane-gas/

Seems cheap - calor refil is about 60-70 quid exchange, but maybe some know better?

I'd hate to lump the thing into the back of the van and travel when I could save 10-15 quid and have a shiny new one delivered!

@Roadrunner_644 .
Be aware this is a thread from OCTOBER 2016...
Deal may no longer be available, check current up to date web page.
I certainly had no issues, ordered and it came within about 3 days, didn't have any exchange bottle or have to pay any extra.

Different dealer though. GasDeal & Woldlink are both offering FloGas bottles, but are otherwise not connected. In both cases, it's FloGas who do the actual delivery.

Woldlink are just up the road from me. Their parent company are Woldmarsh Producers Ltd, with whom I have had a relationship for over 50 years (yes, I know that puts me back in short trousers at the beginning). My dad was even chairman for a while & my brother is an active member. It's a farmers buying group & a very reputable organisation.

Note that the main Woldlink offering is bulk gas. The 47kg cylinder is the only cylinder they offer & the 'no bottle deposit' offer is standard on this size whether you deal with Woldlink, GasDeal or, I believe, with FloGas direct. In the absence of a special deal, the 11kg bottle generally does require a deposit (& this size isn't available from Woldlink).

If you can use a 47kg bottle, it's a good deal. No good for the average motorhome though. I can only think of two members on here who can use them in their vehicles.

Actually, i could be wrong.
Flogas uses a POL 105 thread whereas calor use a POL but i cant find any reference to thread number.
I have both at home and identical fitting to British Standard.
