    If your moving 3 pallet fulls you will need a lot of pints after it :P


    rent it for the weekend for only 117.81. Move one pallet on Friday, drink pints after. Move the next pallet on Saturday, drink more pints after. Move the third pallet on Sunday, finish the pints.

    get someone else to return it to HSS on the Monday

    Question about delivery method:
    If I order a tonne of coal it will come in bags on a pallet.
    I want to understand how the pallet gets into my garden.
    Is it a mini forklift - motorised with rubber wheels that can travel over level grass? OR
    Is it one of those manual thingies with small metal wheels that require solid flat surface?
    I can see from the KosyKing website that they use the manual thingy.
    Has anyone had a delivery using a proper fortlift?
    MOTF

    Worst comes to worst, just use a well-pumped wheelbarrow and some help. Or buy yourself a heavy duty trolley. Great thing to have around https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heavy-300kg-Trolley-Barrow-OT1001/dp/B004LYJ17Y

    Put on a decent amount of wings and ribs, and a few tinnies, and stick it up here when you want it moved. 70 would cover that, a lot less than hiring a pallet truck. Bit of craic too.

    I ordered a tonne of ovoids Tuesday afternoon and they arrived this morning, it makes some difference getting the 25kg bags instead of lifting those 40 kg bags.

    I pay 22 euros a bag for ecobrite at my local coal merchant.
    So a tonne of local based ovoids are 550 per tonne inc delivery. A tonne of ovoids from coal island inc delivery 340 per tonne. That's still a saving of 210 euros per tonne.

    Just in case anyone wants to know the lorry only had an electric pallet truck that would only go on smooth hard surfaces.

    So it's about two days for delivery ? I presume they don't deliver on a Saturday ?

    Depends where you are and what time of day your order? You won't get Saturday delivery afaik but if you order in the morning there's a good chance your delivery will arrive the following day. I had my coal the following day down in Waterford and I ordered about 10am.

    One of these might be handy for moving bags of coal: https://www.offerscheck.org/powerfix-2-in-1-flat-bed-trolleysack-truck/lidl/2016/kw-33/371915

    Or just borrow a wheelbarrow.

    As I have said its was 24 hours for me ordered one morning arrived the following morning.

    Delivery is with The Pallet Network and they promise next day delivery within the 32 counties http://www.tpn.ie/index.php?page=next-day-distribution .

    I was paying €23 for Ecobrite until I found it in Galway for €18.50

    How do the Ovoids compare in a stove?

    I think the ovoids are better, they have less ash and they burn longer. They are bigger in shape to the ecobrite.

    I pay 18.50 for Ecobrite but I have to collect it. I fancy the 20 kg bags but I am concerned about whether the truck can get down my road.

    Langans seem to deliver in and around the Galway city area. Last week they rang me the morning of the delivery to make sure they had access. If the worst comes to the worst the 25kg bags of ovoids are easy enough to shift.

    On the quality, I haven't burnt Ecobrite myself but my dad has in his stove. I gave him a couple of bags of the ovoids last year to try & he thought they were far superior.

    Can you be sure of a delivery day so that you can be home when they arrive ?

    It's the next business day after you place your order - you can confirm this with Liam Connollys when they ring you back for your payment details. They're a fantastic company to deal with.

    Its common sense really, order early well before lunch time and your coal is picked up and in the system so it reaches the local hub for the next days delivery. If you order late in the day you might not get you coal the following day.
