There’s a reason she is a new customer,probably burnt her bridges with everyone else she has dealt with.
Its your hay to sell, not hers to beg. Name your price or put it on faceache hay and straw groupsell a fair bit of Hay and Haylage. majority local and most collected off farm. However some one wanted supplying with round hay about 3.5 mile away. Thought take with jeep and trailer half hour job £40 all in... Now she says has to be taken with tractor put on pallet then pushed in a small barn!! More hassle than its worth but was wondering what would be a reasonable price to charge??
said i could drop 13 small bales for £50 as could pop in the van but saying thats to expensive!!
Whats your thoughts?? Have a fair idea what people will say!!
I’d be interested in having a look, thanksWe do free delivery within a few miles of the farm but charge for further.
My mate built a delivery cost calculator on Excell that links to google maps in the background.
You plug in postcodes, varaibles like mpg of your vehicle, fuel price per litre, hourly wage for your labour, number of people per delivery (if handballing), time spent loading/unloading.
Most of the above dont change often, just the postcodes.
It gives you your real delivery cost.
Sounds more complicated than it is.
Happy to share it.
If you saw her ....you would ,like me , rather stay in the cab !And give you a "flash", is it?
Sod them all together then!If you saw her ....you would ,like me , rather stay in the cab !
Outside county lines always rings alarm bells. Means they've upset every supplier within a 30 mile radius.We have sold small bales on Faceache, usually with some hassle, people coming to collect fail to turn up. I don't mind delivering locally, but we had someone outside Shropshire who wanted 40 bales, next time we were passing...I told here we never passed and she offered to pay for the 80 mile or whatever round trip, 50p/mile must have put her off.
