01/14/2012 - Fuel Oil Prices in the North Country
As many of our members are already aware, we are now offering premium #2 fuel oil in the North Country (see area map). Keeping with our philosophy of maintaining total transparency, we called all of the oil distributors that advertise in the Adirondack Journal and asked what their price per gallon was for 150 gallons of premium #2 fuel oil on that day. We noted the names of the companies and their prices and published them in the Adirondack Journal along with our price. The advertisement ran in the Adirondack Journal on November 18, 2011. The response was interesting. Many people called to question the prices. As a result we took on 32 new members. The most interesting call came from Mr. Dan Alexander, editor of the Adirondack Journal. Mr. Alexander stated he received several calls from several of the oil distributors whose pricing appeared in our advertisement and some were threatened to sue him. He questioned where we got the distributor’s prices and we explained. The end result is that Mr. Alexander will no longer allow us to make such comparisons in his paper. We report this news to you, not because we think that Mr. Alexander was wrong in his decision, but rather because of the way the oil distributors reacted. When they learned that their fuel oil prices were being posted in a newspaper for all to see. The fuel oil distributors could have reacted differently; they could have defended their pricing by using the old “Our prices are higher because our service is better than the rest”, or “Our prices are higher because we have an additive in our fuel oil that make it burn longer”. But we all know what they should do is lower their prices. We welcome out new members in the North Country. You’re going to love the way we save you money.
Sincerely, Galway Co-op.com LLC

11/27/2011 - New Propane Members, 3-4 Week Wait
The Co-op is currently processing 8-23 new customer set up forms per day. Every year around this time, folks are looking to lower the cost of heating their homes. As a consequence, the Co-op is flooded with applications from those looking to sign up and start saving money. The high influx of new members in a short period of time creates a waiting list of folks who need new tanks. If they own their own tank the process takes less time. Ferrellgas has added extra manpower to meet the demand. It may be a little inconvenient, but when it's over, you'll be glad you waited!
10/17/2011 - North Country Fuel Users
Many folks from Lake George to Lake Placid have called us now that our advertisements have appeared in their local papers. The question most often asked is, 'How come your prices are so much lower than the company I'm using? ' The primary focus of the Galway Co-op.com LLC is not to make money. Our primary focus is to save our members money. Although we arrange to have fuel distributed to our members, we are not a conventional fuel distributor. We do not mark up the profit as much as a conventional fuel distributor. Also, because of our buying power we get pricing that is lower than the conventional fuel distributor. The accumulated savings is passed on to our members. The Co-op does generate some revenue, and a portion of it goes to local food pantries, Breast Cancer Awareness, and the fight against Autism.
10/17/2011 - Propane Referral Program
If you are not taking advantage of the Propane Referral Program, you're missing out! By simply telling your family, friends, and co-workers how much money you've saved by joining the Co-op, you can reduce your yearly propane cost even more. Click the Propane Referral Program tab on our home page to read what some of our members have to say about the program.

9/1/2011 - New Propane Contract
We have negotiated a new contract for the delivery of propane to our members. Ferrellgas will once again be our supplier. The contract will run for five (5) years. The terms of the contract remains the same, with the exception of the price for members using 1-200 gallons yearly. That price was reduced. See http://www.fuels4less.com/propane.htm for more information.
There are several factors that needed to be considered prior to entering into a second contract with Ferrellgas: service, customer support, and of course, pricing. We have been with Ferrellgas for about three years now. For those members who were with us when the Co-op was formed, you remember we faced a difficult decision about a year into our contract with Heritage Propane. They wanted to up our propane and delivery cost. At that time we only had about 180 members. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but it was clear we needed to move on. We decided to go with Ferrellgas. The commercial account manager, Mike O'Brien and general manager Doug Muha, did a fine job of convincing us that our 180 members and future members would be in good hands. We were given better pricing than we had, and a larger marketing area. Switching our 180 propane tanks was challenging, and at times it caused tension between us and Ferrellgas. But in the end, we took the boxing gloves off, shook hands and really went to work. Millions of gallons of propane and thousands of members later, we signed on the dotted line once again. Trust, and a mutual understanding that the deal has to work for both parties, is what makes a good partnership. I think we have that and more.
Our thanks to Doug, and especially Mike, who never gave up, and our thanks to Ferrellgas who in 2006 had enough trust and confidence in us to realize we could do what has never been done before. We are the largest residential and small commercial Co-op in the United States. We're going to get bigger and we're going to get better because we understand, 'we're all in it together.'
