I placed a order from them on 4/6 on a evening. Just got told by palletways delivery will be on Monday late morning early afternoon

For those interested in the Verdo logs, they are now running a summer sale - £249 incl VAT delivered. If you're on their mailing list you can get the code (I don't think it's fair to repeat here).

Thanks, Dan. Not sure there's a lot of benefit in taking that up though, when Home Bargains charges £2.49 per 10kg pack. Ordering 24 packs online every month or so worked fine for me last winter – just about the right weight and volume to fit in the car with the back seat down and easy to store in the garage and still get the car in.

Yeah the one downside I did notice was a little more ash... Forgot about that.

Had a right job today with that order. I live on a slight hill outside house certainly not steep. The briquettes were put on the ramp to lower down and they feel off and went all over road. About 75% of them at broke. Yes I can still use them just a pain to store now. Order was suppose to come yesterday but when I rang asking said they running late can they come tomorrow (today) so I agreed. The lift doesn't even touch ground properly either there about a 1" gap and not because of the road but the lift itself wouldn't go lower

Yeah, the driver had to dump the lift off back too with me with the bark logs, although I was luckier, fewer of them broke.

I think really these are too large loads for a pallet. Obviously delivery cost would increase if they were split but there you go...

I think I might have made a complaint about that to be honest.
Should have be delivered intact.
I would be on the phone to them...........

Mine's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Fingers crossed it will be ok. There's no hill to contend with.

Don't honestly think we've ever had any problems with our pallet deliveries - and our briquettes are so hard they probably wouldn't break if they did fall off the wagon!

Smiley_Dan

Greenfires I've read your other posts on the subject, which briquettes do you produce? You can PM me if you don't want to advertise.
