The Risks of Buying Firewood from Unverified Sellers Online
With colder months setting in, many households rush to secure firewood online — but that quick click could cost you. Customers across Victoria are being short-changed or misled by new or unverified firewood sellers. Here’s what to watch out for. Essentially the tricks they are using in the firewood game!
-
Unseasoned (Green/Wet) Wood: Poorly dried wood produces smoky, low-heat burns that waste money and pose a safety risk.
-
Wrong Firewood Species: Promised hardwoods might be substituted with fast-burning softwoods that don’t hold heat.
-
Under-Delivered Quantities: You may receive significantly less than you paid for.
-
Unreliable Delivery & no after sale advice or support: No local presence = no follow-up or accountability if things go wrong or if you need some tips or advice to get the most out of your heating or cooking investment.
