does anyone sell logs by the count?

[barry ayres]

ive noticed that everyone seems to sell there logs by volume just wanted know if anyone sells by the hundred. i sell my logs by the hundred my logs are about 8" by 5" and a 100 logs picked up from the yard is £24 and a 100 logs delivered,carried and stacked is £32 this is the way my family have done it for many years.

I suppose it is down to variations in log width / diameter isnt it, a client will know (well possibly) how big 1m3 is but how is a new client supposed to know what they are getting when ordering 100 logs?

 

Out of interest do you count every log into a bag or fill a pickup and when you reach a clients count 100 logs off the back into a barrow then stack/dump for them?

I sell mine by the log, customer knows exactly what they are getting and I can do quality control at the same time also if they are not happy with any of the logs I will replace the foc after inspection

when we sell them in the yard there in bins with 25 logs in each bin and when we deliver we load the van up with whats been ordered and unload them in bins if your doing more than one client we count them out of the van in bins of 50 logs and the logs are always the same size inless they order doubles.

Yes, I do a rough count rather than sell in cubic metres at the moment as loads of people sell 0.6-0.7 m3 bulk bags as a cubic metre making an actual m3 look expensive. Also, some people expect the load to be a cubic metre stacked tight against their wall rather than loose in a trailer!
