Someone who knows what they want

[Frank]

I had "how many net sacks to a cubic metre loose" the other day. Told em I would investigate.

[Tommy_B]

i have had five people ring up now asking if i had any free logs !!

 

Always, as long as they've got some free money:thumbup1:

[Treewarrior]

noooooo,

 

becarefull with that one, it only stacks up to 0.7-0.8 of a M3,

they will have you on that.

just say its loose tipped volume would fill an area of your above quote:thumbup1:

Totally agree with that

The nets i do i get about 24 to a m3. found this out by processing into a 1 m3 trailer then bagged them,

I was delivering to a regular customer the other day when his new neighbour came out asking how often I delivered to him to which I replied, 'well as often as he needs logs'. She then proceeded to ask how much for a load, how much do you get, are they seasoned,(the cheek!), etc etc. The best bit though 'how long will they last'. Hmmm let's see now, all usual factors aside ie open fire/log burner/how big the fire is/how well it draws etc. how about years if you don't burn them haha.

When your there Frank can you find out how many logs in a half load?

also how nmany in a full load?

Customer last week wanted to know how long half a cubic metre of logs would last on a log burner! I just said I couldn't answer that one as there are too many variables - too many what? So I told them I'd run out already

Ha ha, had the same call. What a twerp!!

Just used to tell them a cubic metre is about the same size as a bulk bag from the builders merchants most people seem to have an idea then even if thier still not sure on what thier getting

[chilli]

Even though a bulk/builders/ton/tonne bag is nowhere near a cubic metre!

 

Sad git that I am, I handball, barrow & stack all my deliveries (I'm not the only one on here doing that). Have a very loyal customer base. Because I handball I know that 500 domestic logs (av. 9" long) fill a load of 1.4M3 so 250 is half a load. 'Pub' logs

at 14" - 16" long need 350 for a load. People understand numbers & money. It's no wonder customers are confused by volume with so many guys passing off builders bags as a cubic metre.
