£90 cubic mtr

[Rob D]

I get my bags from these people at Builders Bags: UK suppliers of builders bags and sacks

 

Free delivery and they also do these smaller green bags for less than a quid each.

 

I measured them at 0.9 m height, width and length which gives you 0.729 m3 but I think well filled with sides bulging they'll have 0.80 m3. I tell people the bags are almost a cubic meter.

 

Selling these at £60 hardwood, £50 mixed, £45 softwood only.

 

As for trading standards there are loads of people around me selling wet wood for £40 a load.... how come they don't pick these people up?

Unless they are claiming its NOT wet wood, they have done nothing wrong.

 

Theres no law to stop people selling wet wood, why would there be??

 

The punter can buy it in, dry it themselves and save some cash

Last year Trading Standards did get a big increase in complaints; the biggest two issues by a mile were mis-described volumes and wet wood (not fit for purpose).

 

We had a good thread last season about trying to establish best practice for firewood sellers (and buyers). It's fair to say that not everyone agreed with all the points raised but the results can be found at Firewood Selling Guide - suggested best practice for the firewood industry

 

With the amount of newbie purchasers that will be on the scene this season we really need to be careful in clearly describing just what it is we are selling.

If you do sell wet/green firewood is it not enough to just tell the customer what it is or do you have to change the name from firewood to split logs etc?

As long as you clearly describe what you are selling then there should be no redress.
