How big are your bags?

 

Standard 60 x 45 log bags

We are doing 40x50cm bags for £1.80 + vat no margin in it now. The wood is like hens teeth and gone up 4 fold in the last year. Most of what we do is clean unused kiln dried joinery of cuts as per our pics. We have been on back order for months with no stock pile. What would you say is minimum price for a bag as in our pic.

I think the Vat situation brought it home to me how underpriced I was. I sell a high volume through a stove centre who retails at £7.50 incl 5% vat so net £6.16. I sell to him at £5.00 incl 20% vat so net £4.17 so he ends up with £1.99 for just stocking my product.

Yes thats right typo error. Really annoys me that he puts on such a big markup but he sells a lot for me and even if my bag is twice the size of yours it still makes your kindling very cheap or it might just be the psychology of a larger bag being better value.

[gensetsteve]

Is it twice the size? I am thinking a third more by my maths. If it looks twice the size but has only a third more could be another way to go. I normally work on people want a 100 % mark up and something to enable them to collect. Everyone has to make a bit. The retailer has the staff and rent rates and over heads.
