Recent Good Review from S

Above Average Experience

Getting electricity and natural gas is easy from Shipley Energy. Their shopping cart is pretty easy to navigate, but looks a little bit dated. They do have a rewards program for both electric and natural gas 3% back each month. But the login to use rewards is a little old and clunky. Overall the prices are good and the people are helpful. Would recommend buying online, it's easier. Phone experience is good.

Shipley Energy is Great

This provider offers great rates and is easy to deal with. only consideration is if you will not be with them for a year you will have to pay an early termination fee of $75.00 and you need to call them every you to maintain the lowest rate they offer.

AWFUL

If i could give them negative stars I would!! Starting with the rude lady in customer service raising her voice and speaking to me like an imbecile- I have been told numerous false and confusing things regarding my account and plan. Added fees, unexpected services, being told one thing and it's another. Will NOT be using this company!!!!!!!!!!

Contract violation - did not adhere to notice terms

There are supposed to be two notices by mail when a contract is to expire. The first is at 60 days and the second at 30 days. Our first notice was not mailed, rather it was dropped into an account portal with no notification. The second notice was never sent. Our rate went from $0.06 per KWH to 0.1999 per KWH...our rate tripled with zero notice. Looking at the reviews here, seems like this is common practice for Shipley.

Rate increase without notification

I was advised in January by postcard that my promotional rate would expire on March 7, and I would be receiving a detailed letter "with the most up-to-date pricing in approximately 30 days." I never received a letter and when I received my March-April bill the rate almost doubled, and I was paying $82 more. I called and was told they did send a bill by a customer service rep, who had no authority to adjust the bill. It was a matter of he said she said. I asked for someone to call me who had the authority to adjust the bill. Never received that call. From other reviews, I see this is Shipley's practice to increase the rate after the promotional period without notifying the customer.

— Increased Rate With No Notification from Coraopolis, PA on May 3rd, 2022

Shop Around!!

Shop around!!! Don't be fooled into thinking you're getting a great deal by locking in your winter pricing! After paying $1.99/gal propane for three years I figured it was time to do some shopping. Found another local supplier who locked my winter rate at $1.49 without the absurd $100 fee. When it comes to switching to another supplier, that's where Shipley is THE WORST! I had 172 gallons of LP that Shipley sold to me in their leased tank. I received my final credit today for $39.00. After charging me $89 to pick up their tanks and $1.25/ PER GALLON restocking fee!! Any chance of me recommending someone to this bunch of lousy business people is gone!! Two stars because I never ran out of gas.

No Plan renewal notification

My plan expired in Expired in July and was then put me on a variable rate that was double than what I originally signed up.
I did not get a 60 or 30 day notice in the male and email of my plan expiring.
I called in after I got my bill and then was put on a 12 mo fix rate 5.95 cents. But I had to call in. Not a happy customer!
