Cabstar, Tranny, Landy, Dumpy bag !!!

at the end of the day logs are going to be delivered in a range of vehicles & measures. so you're going to get difft size "loads".

 

eventually with it being all the rage with wood burners & logs as fuel & the trend being on the rise weights & measurements & trading standards will catch up with it all & insist on some kind of standard which i personally welcome.

 

after all, if you go into a pub & ask for a pint of beer & they give you a "glass" clearly less than a pint & say "well it's a glass of beer mate", would you be happy?

 

I personally like working in metric & measure the back of my single cab hilux (1.2 cubic metre level load, 2 cubic metres with the sides up) & sell it as that loosly loaded. I make my price clear & also say a full load is the roughly equivalent of 3 bulk bags (0.85x0.85x0.85) so customers have a means of comparison.

 

it annoys me to see loads of ads when people blatantly sell by the bulk bag (not the full cubic metre ones) and call it a cube. it's daylight robbery & undermines honest sellers.

 

if someone wants to sell by a "van load" that's perfectly fine as long as they don't claim it to be something it isn't & rounding it up to 2 cubic metres for example. the customer always has a choice to take it or leave it.

 

rant over.
