Wholesale bulk firewood ideas

[Alycidon]

delivered 3 cube bags into Edinburgh today £120 a bag, would like to see the £60 a bag guys try for £120 you can afford to lose 50% of your customers remember.

 

 

 

 

An hour each way and 44 miles, so 88 mile round trip approx and probably 3 hours of time. Running a Landrover and big trailer thats £1.50 a mile, plus your time. So its cost you `£120 to deliver, that would be as cheap on a pallet carrier at £35 a pop and no time wasted/lost.

 

You just want a good margin to be able to absorb that sort of cost.

 

I am looking more toward using stacked crates so more volume and a higher sell price and a pallet carrier for the further afield stuff.

I agree alot of instances pallet carrier will be cheaper especially when we get 17mpg but they couldn't drop them over that fence into the basement on that particular delivery I see the pics didn't work try this

Thank you

That is one professional drop, for that I would imagine you can charge pretty well what you like, good luck to you and well done.

Trak-met processor on ebay.

This one has an infeed belt, unlike the one in the video.

Are you going for it?

The results of this thread were pretty inconclusive! I've not had a chance to think about it this week with being extremely busy.

 

One of the local firewood retailers suggested that I would need to kiln dry the firewood to make it more marketable. Not sure I can be bothered with the faff.

 

Still would love to have a firewood processor though, for no adequately justifiable reason!

Its not a good reason on its own but it would be deductible against tax.
