What are the advantages to purchasing by weight rather than volume?
The Department of Fair Trading has classified the sale of firewood by 3 methods:
-
weight – must be measured on approved scales
-
volume – must be tightly stacked
-
the lot – ie “a box trailer load”
Buying by weight is the only true means of purchasing firewood on an even playing field. All retailers selling by weight have a legal obligation to supply the correct weight, as advertised. There is no room for approximating.
​
The problem with buying by the metre, is that the term “tightly stacked” has to date encouraged subjective clarification. In essence, this term would mean each piece is individually hand stacked, like a packet of matches. However, most retailers consider the wood falling into the truck with a small amount of manual adjustment as being “tightly stacked”. As a result, the difference in volume between one supplier and another can be significant.
Selling by weight means you the customer, get exactly what you are paying for.
