Anyone remember when Brits were generous?

[Andy Collins]

I was going to say the same as Huck, generosity is paying for something when its offered for free

[Peter]

Indeed.

 

I get lots of emails asking for woodchip, if its convenient to me I will drop it off without charge, but if someone wants a specific amount in a specific place at a specific time then its going to cost something as I am supplying a service.

 

If I get an email in the same tone as the OP, it gets deleted straight away, I don't do favours for rude people.

I get asked for loads of firewood cut into small blocks - at a mate rate:sneaky2: I feel like dropping of a 2ft dia trunk, for them to sort on their own:001_tt2:

[Rich Rule]

It is a bit different around here. Most companies I graft for pay in one way or another to offloads chip and logs.

Our jobs scheduled in for 2 weeks time so you better be quick.

Generosity= my middle name

Generous as in chip required, cash waiting. Your q to start the ball rolling I think How much over the odds were you thinking of offering

[Johny Walker]

think the haulage from leeds to kent would be a bit a of a killer ,but pm me if still intrested

[rovers90]

Why do people think they have the right to almost demand logs or chip for free????????

 

Why is it that people think we should give away something of value??????????? and in this case deliver it free!!!!!!!

 

Is this not exactly what you're expecting people to do to you, ie your expecting them to employ you to cut their tree down and let you take away "something of value" for nothing? Or if I asked you to take down a tree and told you I wanted to keep the logs would you charge me more than if you were taking the logs?

[Peter]

I will discount for leaving logs, chip, or brash on site. Of course if they want all the wood cutting up thats an extra cost.

The logs are worth the effort and cost of removing them, so if the client does not want them I take equipment to the job to enable me to remove them, equipment that has cost me a great deal to buy and continues to cost in maintenance. I am not going to take that equipment to a job and the come home without as much timber as possible, as that timber helps to cover the cost of said equipment.
