$225 !!!!! Yikes, -- is that for a one or two cord delivery?? I can understand a "small load" uplift in price to cover gas & travel.
I just had a 4 cord load dropped in my driveway here in Central MA (290/495 intersection area) literally this morning and paid $200/cord --Seasoned/split and delivered.
From the looks of it it's a "good load", meaning no birch, good size pieces and fairly dry (there's no such thing as fully seasoned anymore)! Albeit, I've been doing business with this one company now for over 10 years after shopping around prior and getting ripped off by short loads, crummy wood aka Sky_Nh complaint, or wood that looked like it was cut down yesterday.
Point being - I would have normally assumed that in NH you would have been able to blow my cost outta the water
Not that I'm happy about $200/c -- at this point it's a very close decision as to wether I bother (other than the cosmetic fireplace fire) versus "turn the heat up"
