Beware Overcharging by Propane Delivery Truck:
Jan 4, I had our 500 L propane tank filled by the Global truck (with the large propane tank). The driver presented me with a handwritten bill instead of the normal printed one. I paid the bill (wondering about the amount) and later realized that the number of liters they claimed to have given us was way too large. I called the Global office in La Paz. They were responsive to me and called the driver of the delivery truck, who returned to our house, recalculated the bill and returned 300 pesos to us. I believe that we were overcharged more than 300. Obviously, the handwritten bill was significantly inflated. The driver wanted the handwritten bill returned, but we did not give it to him. Now I realize that I should have demanded a printed bill. Beware -- mylreakme@aol.com
