Don't mind me asking how much you sell your kindling for - is it more profitable than firewood?

 

The price of firewood round our way is on the floor and there are plenty of people doing the job the right way. Margins are as tight as firewood but as we concentrate on kindling we can get the efficiency. Many of our customers used to make 1000 bags a year or so for themselves but now concentrate on processing logs.

Trouble with order's at this time of year is they're all stock orders,

It's when customers come in for second order you can find out how much is actually being used,

Currently our glass is more than half full and I am looking to keep it that way

[kindlett]

what are you charging for them if you dont mind me asking ?

[briquette_seller]

Lots of kindling getting imported from the Baltics.

 

I've lost a couple of customers who have decided its cheaper to import

[Logsnstuff]

import a couple of baltic workers and drop your prices.

[gensetsteve]

Hopefully the penny will drop soon. If we keep importing cheap stuff no one will pay taxes. No taxes no nhs no benefits should you need them.Simples.

What taxes don't up pay when you buy a container load of kindling from Europe that you pay when buying from someone in the UK? You still pay VAT either way.
