Seasoned Beech and Sycamore how much?

[Chrisy B]

As per title, we have run out of seasoned wood and as such are trying to find some.

 

Been offered some 12 month seasoned beech and sycamore unfortunately around 75% beech and 25% sycamore would have preferred it the other way round for less weight and more timber.

 

Been offered it at £70/t ex yard with roughly £10 - £15t haulage so around £85/t delivered.

 

I think it's seriously expensive but need to ideally keep existing customers happy.

 

What's everyone's thoughts?

HI CHRISY it may be cheap if we get snow but to me it sound far to much but then some will pay it jon

[Chrisy B]

That's the problem Jon you just don't know what the weathers going to do if it comes warm we'll not use it if it stays cold we'll probably use all of it.

 

Not an easy decision! But must agree it is a lot more than I'd like to pay.

HI CHRISY ask nick for a price on some cord jon

[Hodge]

At £85 a tonne delivered in will you make any profit on it? It's nearly double what I would pay for unseasoned cord? It seems to much IMO.

i have firewood dealers coming into yard and paying £70 cubic metre for seasoned split wood to make £10 load just to keep there customers happy till end season..

whats point in gettin customers if your gonna loose them cos you've run out wood...

they will go else where and you'l never hear from them again unless their new supplier runs out..

HI NICK SALE HIM SOME OF YOUR CORD MATE :thumbup1:JON

[Chrisy B]

Yeah that's more the point I was making Nick, it's more about keeping customers than making a great deal of money from it.

 

Unfortunately Jon, Nicks abit far away haulage usually kills it for us.
