Bulk Bags

[carver]

I'm selling builders bag delivered locally at £50. Quite happy with that.

0.614 cube Dave

 

I get £50 a bagful easily

 

Depends on the bag Dean and how "loosley" you fill it!!

 

Either way its still good money in my book.

Standards are 850mm square, but I carefully pack mine and heap up a bit on top, plus topup when you lift with the pallet forks as it sinks down again.

 

Mine are also guaranteed less than 20% moisture, stored under cover. I did notice the picture above, the bags are stacked outside, where they will never get the moisture content down if not covered over then are sold as seasoned ??

the wood was seasend whan bagged normaly sheet them over picture taken on a logging day. moving logs @ £55 per bag is better than looking @ them @ £75 taking room up in the yard ! sold 65 bags this season ? sacks are a bit slower but just started with them tho

I was selling on ebay at 50.00 a bag mixed and 60.00 bag hardwood 2 years ago and they raced out of the yard. I wish i'd had time to develop it properly.

 

Dave I'd try selling yours to a firewood merchant at the moment, they'll rip your arm off and you'll get a large x-mass bonus

You are further south Buzz, we have tight northern punters

 

But then our cash goes further up here

If it's good stuff you' re giving it away - how do you retail a large bag? do you just empty into the boot of a car?

 

daft as it sounds we do some times. some one turnd up in posh 4x4 said chuck em the back & got bag back so thats an extra £2.30 we dont sell softwood /poplar willow all the crap goes thru bio-mass chipper for playground chip & thats better £s than logs

How do you deliver them? on the back of a tipper? do you find that you sell more logs bagged up rather than loose in the back of a tipper. How do you get them off the floor on to your truck, a guess a fork lift.

sorry for all the questions just intrested.

We sell bags at £40 plus delivery, (usually £5 - £10) Selling around 5-10 per week at the moment and I'm quite happy with it.

Thats mixed around 80% hardwood from last years pile, stored outside.

We've never had any complaints and get lots of repeat orders.

Giving it away?

 

Please explain?

 

A loosely filled builders dumpy bag holds around 0.4 of a cube, so thats over £130 a cube, which I would call good money.

 

@ that price you would be looking @ it for ever more ?
