[Dave Martin]

Getting numerous calls enquiring about firewood at present and everyone asks about quantity and price but no one asks anything about the quality

Are they even asking is it Hardwood or Softwood?

No but I make a point of telling them that it is quality hardwood ready to burn. It seems that people are only interested in price and then are surprised when they go for the cheapest option and get rubbish

They need educating about the differences between hard against soft, moisture content etc. Some around here are selling a hard/soft mix with no indication of approx percentages.

Lady rang for a 'load' of logs, new customer. She lives just a couple hundred yards from the BIG local supplier but 3 miles from me. "your logs are cheaper" she said.

Me, trying to talk myself out of a sale says "but his truck is bigger, you'll get more logs for your money"

"huh?" she says.

I explained about his 2m3 capacity & my 1.4m3. From him she'd get 35% more logs for just an extra £20.

Long pause, then:

"but you're still cheaper so I'd like yours please".

But your logs are top quality and dry so give out twice the heat which is cheaper than the soggy willow she got from the other place.

i am up against a local seller who sells a load or a double load, no mention of volume or how many cube in his load, i asked a friend to ask how many cube you get in a load and his reply written on the back of a business card is 4 tonney bags , surely this must be trade description as his "load" is half his truck with a board across the middle and his double load is the full truck load a renault tipper.
