“I love this store other than the fact that I bought one of their mystery Amazon boxes for 45$ they said the stuff inside would be worth at least the value of what I paid for it and I got a bunch of the same fidget toys, dice, hacky sacks and crap the box was huge and full of junk! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE MYSTERY BOX!! They are junk!”

“Recently had to get some heating oil for my deceased father's house that we're trying to sell. We were trying to get the smallest amount possible, just so the potential buyer could verify that the furnace was functioning properly, as all of the existing oil had ran out. A competitor said they wouldn't even bother helping us out, unless we bought 100 gallons, which was an unnecessary cost we're trying to avoid. Not on was Shaffer's willing to help us out, they even lended me a couple of 5 gallon containers to fill up my dad's tanks just enough to prove the furnace was operational. One of the gentlemen working there, was kind enough to give me a quick tutorial on how to bleed the valve, to get the furnace running again. I don't understand some of the negative reviews here, because I received incredible customer service, and I would recommend them to anybody.”
