Calor dealers should be in a position to start handling returns from Wednesday 24th September

As a Calor stockist ourselves, we have been anticipating something along these lines. 2 weeks ago we were instructed not to sell any of our lites we had in stock, but to put to one side for exchange. No one would enlighten us as to the reason why. Sure enough our stock was swapped over, but still no explanation.
It will be a bun fight for sure when this news gets out, as we are always short of stock on lites for normal refills. We often are unable to replace our empties due to lack of stock.
Incidentally, the refill authority charge (rental) for lites will be £5 more per cylinder than the others from next week. One wonders if there is some need to make back an impending loss?  Rich

Changed two this afternoon! One was empty the other one had about 1kg ( 2lbs) in it. Now have two clean and full bottles. Make sure your new one(s) have a small hole in the metal collar around the neck of the bottle. I believe some recent deliveries are "old stock".
