Local firewood

[Bowlander]

 

To anyone starting or thinking of going into selling logs please dont think all members of the public are like this. I would say this is one in a hundred and you soon get a feel for them when they ring up.

Like what exactly?

Did i haggle on the price? No

Did I accept the load? Yes

Did I shop around and look for a better supplier like any sensible buyer would? Yes

 

Did I ask questions on a forum to gain a better understanding of the trade? Yes

Well you have you logs now and have found a supplier you are happy with. I have to go now and sit in my hot tub and admire my Ferrari in the background while I count the badly filled bulk bags of logs in the yard.

Have you a contact for your supplier? My brother lives up your way and he's looking for decent dry hardwood logs.

 

Bowlander, my original post #13 (copied above) was a genuine enquiry - if you don't want to name your supplier on this thread please send me details via a pm.
