is it actually possible to get unproccessed recently felled trunks by the lorry load anymore?

The OP should forthwith dispatch himself to the caravan of the seller,receipt in hand to demand a full refund upon collection of the 2 tonn of spurious timber.

Well I best be the odd one out  and say at least some of it looks like oak, first pic to the left, colors and how the fibers have split 

 

 

 

 

but as the others, I’d be extremely happy to be paid £300 for that!

You only need to pick it up to decide if it’s oak or willow

 i agree josh, there’s definitely some Oak in there. 

value is a funny old thing, to a bunch of tree men the value paid is over the top, to the homeowner who now has a driveway full of timber maybe it seems more reasonable irrespective of the time and cost to process it.

Fair point John.

If that was cut, split and put into nets it would start to look like bargain of the century compared to garage prices.

This is true, we only have the photos to look at, I guess the OP could come back again with a couple more details and perhaps a couple of closer photos (perhaps the rings that have split).

 

As above, I don't think they have been ripped off based on it being poplar / willow, probably cheaper than running the house on electric heating. If it is something denser / more energy dense then it becomes better value.... however from the photos in the doc. I'm not so sure.

They have been ripped off because they were told it was 7 tonnes
