Free mixed timber

[nick channer]

I reckon Nick is only doing this to make money.

 

Oh, hang on a minute...

 

You'd be right in sayin that !

Timber gets burnt on fire in yard if I don't shift it.

I dont see the reason for all the jibes and pokes at what Nick is charging to load and deliver this timber,?,If i did not have the access to the amount ot timber that i do have and was more local to this I for sure would be putting my name forward for 4 or 5 load as there is good money to be made out of this, softwood firewood del into my yard £42 a tonne and the haulage is only 6 miles. Think about it ???.

And I bought it from Nick too make even more money :thumbup:

I'm glad some lads on here can see the wood for the trees.

If you can buy wood delivered in cheaper that's great.

If you can't then this thread could help.

No need for slinging others prices about IMO.

Some stupid comments on here. I had a load from Nick, probably most profitable wood ive ever bought in. I mix it 50 / 50 with hardwood and market that as a stove mix. People love it. Cheers Nick

At no point did I call Nick a ***** (or whatever he put behind the asterisks) and neither do I have a problem with him charging whatever he can get for the wood, but I just think that saying the wood is free and then charging a massive haulage charge is a bit odd.

To put the headline of the thread as Free mixed timber and then telling a 'local' (Nick's word not mine) customer that its going to cost him £26/t for delivery is a bit steep.

We are all out to make as much profit as we can and I don't blame Nick for doing so, after all, the overall delivered price is pretty reasonable but there's no need to be abusive when someone makes a comment

The good thing about the forum is that it's an opportunity for people to give their opinion or thoughts. I don't think that's against the rules of the forum.

At no point was I rude or abusive, but each to their own I suppose.

What's the cost for the 25ton to nr15 1tq

[Duffryn]

The lorry needs to earn £650 a day min or I might as well leave it on job it's doing

Haulage rate is based on there and coming back empty!

If I can get load scrap coming back that's my bonus which isn't likely to happen for next six months min!

It's a 4 hour round trip with forklift to load.

We use a 2 cubic meter riddle bucket to load with so minimal crap in load.

That takes an extra hour to load compared with normal grain bucket.

£160 min to load.

We get that to load a stobsrt lorry with chip which takes 2 hours round trip

The timber is free!

Anyone wants to send a lorry in and pay me £160 to load that's fine.

It's not my timber so won't be loadin for nothing.

Have 9 loads to do so can't be that bad a deal!

 

Strikes me this is a fair deal. Not his fault if your miles away. If you are local you can make a decent return, if you're not then its not for you.
