  1. Have tried this but the product is either rubbish from day one or gradually slides. You dont have control over quality and rejecting the load if they have cleared the payment I dont think so. As one member pointed out to me if I cant afford a bit of bar oil and 2 stroke I should get out the game. But if like me you add up and work a balance sheet you can work out your costs and true profit you will find £6000 a year is alot not a bit:001_smile:

     

    would you not be paying 30 day payments or even 45 days to make sure you were satisfied, and therefore have had time to inspect the delivery,

  2. I would definately David.

     

    BUT.....

     

    It would have to be to my spec, and not the suppliers.

     

    Being able to sell on a "cheap" bought in product can have its problems when your regular customers are used to your standard of firewood.

     

    If the spec was detailed and the delivered product was not up to your spec, then you would reject the load. It would be a foolish supplier to give you a spec that was not up to the standard you require

  3. Seems an obvious question??

    I always wonder how much it costs those who buy in cordwood / timber to produce a dry cubic meter / dry net etc of hardwood / softwood?

    Could the smaller / medium suppliers buy in the finished dry product from someone producing say 8,000 tonnes a year cheaper than you can make it yourselves?

    Taking into consideration everything labour, all the machinery, breakdowns, fuel, consumables, storage, all misc costs you forget about and not forgetting all the head aches that go with it.

    I think some would carry on regardless due to it being a way of life?

    Discuss....
