    Is this why the customer deals with Ace? I would imagine in the event of any issue, it's the customer that has 'imported' the coal. The coal merchant has not had any involvement with delivery.

    Don't think it works like that? If for example you buy stuff from Amazon.co.uk then they charge the relevant Irish VAT rate and not the UK rate so at the checkout the price goes up. I think anyone selling more than €35k worth of goods in Ireland needs to register and pay VAT here no matter what carrier is bringing it in?

    Amazon are delivering to you - these guys are not.

    Check their Facebook page, something on it about orders ordered now may not be delivered till 5th Jan, might be worth calling them tomorrow to check.

    I ordered a pallet of 8 euro champion polish coal yesterday and got it today.

    Good stuff too, delighted with it.

    In Limerick

    You mean a guy from Amazon calls out to my house?

    LOL. Expressed in the rhetorical :D

    I mean when you order off amazon, they ask you to input a delivery address. When you do so, are you not contracting amazon to supply the item and deliver it to you in Ireland? So despite the rhetorical question, in effect, yes - the postman (or courier) is acting for amazon.

    In the case of these guys, the customer contacts the courier of their own accord. If there are any questions for the merchant, then I'd imagine their answer is we sold coal on the basis of collection from premises in N.I.

    Does anyone know the story with the Coal Warehouse outlet in Clontibret. Can you collect from there?
    yip can pick up from clontibret


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,664 ✭✭✭makeorbrake


    Have a small (stanley oisin) stove. What should I be ordering off them for stove use?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,521 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    Exactly and this is how they all avoid paying the carbon tax and vat.

    Here is quote from Revenue website :

    Doesn't cover this case though, as the law refers to consumers physically bringing the fuel into the country themselves. It's the same for booze.

    8 euro polish coal is what they recommend for stoves.

    I have the slightly bigger Erin Stove and put in a bucket today, good heat from it.

    So if your paying €15 a bag Polish coal in the south you can't use it in the stove:)

    Can anyone let me know how many bags make up a pallet,also what size are the bags. I am buying the 40kg bags locally and just need to work out the savings to convince "she who must be obeyed" that I'm not mad to be thinking of doing this.
    Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 143 ✭✭Inspector Dhar


    25 x 40 kg bags to a pallet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,403 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    1 Tonne - 25 x 40kgs per pallet

    Is the premium coal burning well ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 68 ✭✭creambun


    The premium is burning brightly in my stove, very happy for the price.

    Yeah I find it good as well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 34 Focusdpc


    I ordered some champion and some slack today, looking forward to getting it :)

    Can I ask a question to you guys who are using coal in their range, how many hours would you get before you would have to refuel if you loaded it up? I'm new to solid fuel/range and right now I'm using turf, timber(hardwood) and little bit of coal, but seems I'm refueling every 90minutes or so and it's down to nothing at that stage.
    I'm hoping that by using more coal it will give me a few hours before I have to refuel the range!

    Are they large lumps of coal ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 68 ✭✭creambun


    They are big and small lumps, i though there would be more ash this morning as there was with the superblend but no i am still happy with purchase.


  • Registered Users Posts: 234 ✭✭beaver111

    Do ye find that the glass in the stove gets very dirty with the €8 polish coal? (other than smokeless stuff)
    Can anyone comment on how the other coal purchased from this crowd is performing in the stove from a cleanliness side?
    It would not be a deal breaker just wondering...

    I used Staffords stove coal a few times and found it very hard to burn it all out, would often be left with a lot of hard nuggets the next day, anyone experience anything like this with this coal?

    Post a picture of it burning, :-)

    My concern is heat output in an open fire tbh (with the premium stuff)

    If you're concerned with heat output an open fire is madness 75% is going up the chimney. You can get a decent second hand stove for about €200 now.
