How cheap to customers want logs

[D.M.Taylor Firewood Supp]

Had a phone call tonight from a guy asking about logs & what cost i asked if he's had logs in the from other people he said yes £45 cube delivered.My response was just get them off usual supplier.How cheap do they want them dont think they think about costs muppett

[Ian C]

They want them as cheap as possible, dont we all want things cheap? thats human nature, give him a price and send him on his way, no point getting stressed over it.

Just let them ring round and talk rubbish - stand by your prices and don't worry about it. You'll sell out just like in all previous years!

i agree bob - there are many log suppliers in my area - and most of them sell fresh cut, unseasoned wet logs at a cheaper rate - which is great for people who have a large log store and don't mind buying their logs years in advance

 

we only sell seasoned dry stuff - that can be used straight away - and we are obviously going to charge more for it

 

to be honest - if people don't like our prices and want to get their logs elsewhere then it is no skin off my nose - i would rather supply and look after our regulars and make sure that we have enough logs to keep them warm through the winter

Delivered some logs to a new customer the other day. She is an old lady who had just downsized to a house (from mansion) & we were chatting about the price of wood. She agreed with me that it was too cheap. Said she had so much land previously that she was self sufficient, but with the cost of employing people to fell & log the trees it would have been cheaper to have just bought it in.

firewood is hard to come by unless you got some good deals in place with woodland management etc, Certianly Wood are advertising at £128 on the web, and they are getting it for as low as £7-14 good mk up if you gan get it.

A cubic metre of wood will cost them £30 + cost to process + £50 for pallet freight. Not trying to be funny just pointing out that the margins on firewood quickly get eroded when you break or replace your toys and up the real costs.
