IMPORTANT NOTICE – NEW DELIVERY FEE
Effective April 26, 2022, Blue Rhino will institute a delivery fee for each visit to your store.This has become necessary after world events have resulted in sharply higher diesel and transportation labor costs, especially during recent weeks. Blue Rhino has been absorbing these increases, which were not included in recent price increases for our program.
As outlined in the chart below, this delivery fee may adjust weekly as average diesel costs change. We hope that these historically high fuel prices will come down and we can eliminate this fee soon. We will review on an ongoing basis and announce any updates on this web page.
We appreciate your partnership in these unique times. We are mindful of the impact of program changes like this, and we will work to ensure our service to you remains the best in the industry so you can continue to profit from selling America’s #1 brand of propane exchange.
If you have any questions, please contact your Blue Rhino Account Manager, or call Blue Rhino Customer Care at 1.800.258.7466. Also, please make sure we have your latest contact information so we can quickly communicate with you.

A. April 26, 2022.
Q. Why are you charging a delivery fee now?

Q. You just raised my price, why are you now charging me more money?
