hullsmillfarm, that must be it, just gotta stick neck out bit further... ask for more.

 

some people still hang up phone with our prices!

 

need to get more for it though, as our prices are only just keeping us ahead of all the costs involved.

 

all the best...

I think the problem is when you say you want £150 or whatever for a cabstar load it sounds like alot of money, especialy when you pick up the local paper and see people selling loads for £70/£80, so i've gone over to bulk bags at £65 ago, it's not such an ask as £150 and i'll probably still run out before the end of winter.

eggsarascal, i guess to alot of people £150 is a lot of money (though you need a lot of £150's to get through a year...) do you get asked what the dimensions of your bags are when people enquire or are they just happy to hear the £65? and do you get orders for more than one at a time? your analysis of the problem though, i think you're right about that.
