Day 98 - Moving More Stock

[@odc43054]

Have you thought about offering a "trade-in" on bags. Maybe price the wood + bag and if they have a bag to return giving a credit on their next order? It would offer an incentive for repeat business.

[@lithgowlights859]

Our local seller does the same for unripped bags in good condition. $10 off the bag price.

[@tealjacks9125]

i use it and it works well ... also good client relations start up ..

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Good idea. It may be hard for me as we take online payments

[@odc43054]

@@oakfarmfirewood refunds are easy in most e-commerce systems. You could charge the bag as a separate sku and then refund it when an acceptable return is received.

Have you timed the difference with Andy assisting? Looks to be way faster mate. Can’t wait to see this sucker FULL 👍🏼

[@oakfarmfirewood]

It’s massively quicker but the time I’m away the processor is running and that’s what I’d prefer

[@jons6125]

With the small extractor filling barrels might be better than the original bags

[@johncooke3353]

Archie what is the moisture of the logs going into the bags, do you ever have mould on them if they are too green going into the bag?? I do about 20 bags a year for myself but I try and let the sun dry them first before bagging. Awesome stock of wood though 👍🏻👏🏻

[@oakfarmfirewood]

That is better, it depends how quickly you want to use them but I use woods that don’t typically go moldy

[@tomasdevine7756]

I filled a wheelie bin with timber it was damp within a few weeks i opened it and it was white with mould. No airflow plus damp ye get mould on any wood id say only takes one bad bit to get it going.​@oakfarmfirewood

[@douglasedmonds8372]

When are you going to do a test on the kindlet to see how big of a price of firewood it can make?

[@oakfarmfirewood]

It makes about a 5cmx5cm logs

[@rodneydufrain3623]

There's a 10% shrinkage with firewood.

[@oakfarmfirewood]

I can believe it

[@matthossack]

Is there a reason you can't stack the grafter and trailer a second layer?

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Weight.

[@matthossack]

Potentially cut out a trip a day and save on fuel and wear etc...

[@matthossack]

Ah I see

What is the distance between the two depots?

[@oakfarmfirewood]
