Continuing with the firewood story, I have made the call to Rod and booked a time for the delivery of the firewood to our house, which would obviously be split and delivered firewood.

I sent a message at first and got a prompt message back in the space of around half an hour, now as I work in sales that is good going for a business.

So the messaging consisted of checking the;

• Price of the Firewood
• Delivery of the firewood to our area
• Setting day and time of delivery

Also, stocking fee may apply if he has to carry the wood too far, there is a 5m distance limit for stacking.

So the day and time were set and now we just had to wait.

To buy firewood in Brisbane and specifically on the Northside of Brisbane, you would think would be a relatively easy’ish task.

You have the money, you have a fireplace, you have the want, the need and urgency as it’s starting to cool down.

But alas, it was harder than I thought to track down a consistent, convenient, cost effective and free delivery of firewood to our North Brisbane home.

For a start, if you can get through the endless list of linked pages and the odd Gumtree/Yellow Pages page that has firewood available but not in your area, and many of the the buy firewood on the Northside of Brisbane sites of companies that aren’t on the Brisbane Northside, let alone deliver firewood there, you are off to a good start.

Also many are Tree Doctors and have firewood as a sideline for their business and I found that a lot of these didn’t have firewood pricing at all on their sites.
