Why wood merchants will increase their prices by 150%–200% and how to avoid it forever

This article will show you that there is still an option to acquire firewood and avoid the potential price spike.

It's autumn again..

..and you know that you are already a bit late storing your reserves of firewood products for winter....

You hop on your closest device and seem to be endlessly searching for the best price only to find out that the prices have already increased tremendously when compared to last season. 15% and more just for a simple pallet of firewood. Not only that; energy bills have skyrocketed as well.

Reading about what’s happening in Eastern Europe, about what’s happening to eco-fuel products, only shows that a 15% increase was just the tip of the iceberg to come in the upcoming season. If you didn’t already know, thousands of containers have come from Eastern Europe. Chances are you currently are using products that have come from there.

So from an economic perspective, if you remove thousands of containers from circulation, it creates a huge shortage of supply while demand is not decreasing at all. I mean why should it decrease? At that point you might be asking yourself, “Is there a possibility, in these modern times, that I might not have firewood for the next season?”

What if there are other ways?

I do encourage you not to panic and not to fear because there are still a few options to acquire firewood products for the upcoming season. The most popular option is to gather your own firewood, driving to the nearest woods and taking a few bags home. It’s affordable for almost anyone who has access to such an option.

But what to do when you don’t have a car? Alright, you might have a car, but what to do if you don’t have any woods close by? A lot of people have this issue and the solution is to buy it online—it’s just as easy as checking your local news site. You probably are already seeing a lot of ads from merchants scrolling through blogs and news articles if you recently searched for firewood online. While there are so many merchants, you might not notice that a lot of them are blatantly asking you for a lot of money for the same product you can get elsewhere.

So I decided to do some research on these merchants and tried to conclude which is the best option for me. After spending a few days creating the perfect spreadsheet and eating tons of crisps, I found the perfect winner, who ticks all the categories for the best solution for eco-fuel products. From the price, delivery speed and delivery radius down to the little things like packaging, I present to you the best option—FireMood.

Big clients choose them, what about you?

To be honest, I was very surprised not to see any other big names pop up on the front row of my spreadsheet as I had not previously heard of them. But it does make a lot of sense why they were at the top of the list. Almost every product was 15–20% lower than from any other vendor. Not only that, they are already working with big clients in the business, like Hayes Fuels, The Stove Depot and also Pearsons of Duns.

While I was thinking that FireMood is new in the market, that’s actually not true—they are new only under the name FireMood. They have been one of the biggest firewood producers in the UK for years. You are probably using their products right now, but you didn’t know. Their products previously and also currently are available from other merchants for higher prices, but since the upcoming price spikes are planned to be up to 200%, they have decided to rebrand themselves and start delivering products straight to clients, which is one of the reasons why they are so affordable, but not the main reason.

The possibilities are endless

Let’s take a step back from FireMood and take a look at other things besides firewood. There are clear benefits from using modern technology; you can do so many things today on your smartphone, not only send messages and pictures but listen to music, watch movies and do tons of other things. People even build websites on mobile phones, like, how?

But we should also spend less time on our devices and take time to appreciate being with family. Make dinner for your loved ones or go out with them. Take a walk around the park. Have fun with your pets. These things are crucial for helping and maintaining a successful life and being happy in general. So things like saving time on little things are a way to go.

You could drive to local woods and just take a few bags of wood, but how many bags can you take? How long is the drive? Wouldn’t you rather drive to some resort and feel the sun or take a weekend off and drive to the countryside? With this, I wanted to show what possibilities FireMood opens up—you may be buying firewood products, but it’s not only products you are buying. You are buying yourself more time for the important things in life.

More time to drive somewhere else than to the woods. More time to take vacations. FireMood being quite an affordable option means that not only are you saving time, but you are also saving quite a lot of pounds yearly, which means you are not spending so much money on eco-fuel products, but you can spend it elsewhere—on products you want for yourself. Or a gift maybe?

What people are saying is true

While browsing through FireMood’s pages I noticed that there are pretty positive testimonials from a lot of people, but I was skeptical about those. Why do you ask? Because if they just launched recently, how there are people already saying that they have saved X amount of money? It seemed a bit unreal, so I decided to get in touch with FireMood and just have a talk with them, because why not?

I wanted to be sure they are real not just another business trying to rip-off clients. After a few hours of writing to them, I got a very kind response from Brian, who is one of the managers at FireMood. We had a great conversation regarding their business and they let me in on a lot of things. For one, these testimonials are from one of their first clients who trialed their business model. These clients were using their products when FireMood wasn’t even launched but only in the ideas stage.

We discussed a lot of different questions also, but the main question I had in mind was, “How can you be so affordable when compared to other merchants?” Brian gave me the answer right away: “Our main business idea is that FireMood is exclusive—everyone has the chance to be in FireMood, but not everyone gets in.” He continued, “Exclusivity makes it much more manageable to deliver the right amount of products to clients when we know how much they need, rather than charging huge prices just to maintain the cost of other things.”

Saving quite a big amount

After the talk with Brian, I went back to my spreadsheet and started doing more calculations. I didn’t think before about doing math on how much it is possible to save choosing firewood from another merchant, and as you can imagine, FireMood again took the pedestal. If you made a regular order of firewood pallets, on average you could be saving up to £500 a year.

And those are only pure pounds, I’m not counting in the fact that they also offer lifetime discounts, freebies on your orders and even more bonuses for just being in their exclusive members’ club. As of writing, I do see that the price for membership is only £11.97. Do some math yourself—you pay £11.97 a year to save £500 a year? Do you even need to open up a calculator app to understand how much you are benefiting from that?

There is not a cheaper solution than FireMood

I think it’s been a few more days now since I wrote this and I have been thinking about FireMood, finding maybe some loophole? You know, they look so good on paper, but there has to be some mistake. I went back to their website and, after I read further, I noticed that they guarantee something very unusual.

While almost any business guarantees things like refunds, swapping your damaged item for a new one, or just completely meaningless things like gift cards, their guarantee stands by their motto: “If you can find a cheaper solution than FireMood then we will pay you 300% back!” That sounds promising; imagine paying for firewood, finding much better prices elsewhere and getting 3x your money back. That sounds insane.

But then I remembered, as I made my spreadsheet, it’s not so much a guarantee as a challenge—because there are no better prices out there than from FireMood. That was one of the things I also clarified with Brian, that they can guarantee such a thing because they’ve found a way to do it.

I was angry, but you shouldn't be

After writing all of this, detailing all my research about FireMood, I went on to check once more how they were looking; maybe something new had popped up. Maybe new products, maybe a higher membership price? Maybe they were not in business anymore? Well, I did see something new and, to say the least, I was expecting a lot of things but not this.

I now understand what Brian told me about, that everyone can get in but not all will get in. I saw it with my own eyes. They closed their membership club. They were full! What? How? They were just open two days ago and now they were full? That’s complete chaos. I was a bit mad at myself because, well, I am also interested in using their products and I was not very happy to see that I can’t purchase them anymore.

All I got was a message from them saying that they were full currently and they might open up later again. Not being happy about that I did write a bit of an angry email to them, asking when I could get in because I missed my chance.

Thank God Brian answered the next morning; he told me they weren’t expecting so many people to join, but they will be opening up soon again. He did point out that they can take only about 100 more members because at the first opening too many people joined, but they will try to manage a few more seats for the club.

Get ready to change the way on how you acquire your wood products

Now that I am about to become a member of FireMood’s exclusive membership club myself, I can actually guide you to joining. But be aware that, if you are reading this a few days late, you might already be too late to join.

If you still want to manage to get in, I would suggest clicking here, you will be redirected to the checkout page and there everything is explained. Fun fact, when I bought my membership, I even got a better deal than they were promoting. I bought my membership for the next three years because there is a chance you may not get in next year. Crazy! 

Final words (read carefully!)

What can I say? My main suggestion would be not taking as much time as I did at first. Club access might close again for longer this time—I don’t think you would want to be left alone at the other side of the club, right?

I think not only would losing access make your day worse but also the fact that you would be losing all the valuable bonuses, ranging from discounts (which, by the way, are LIFETIME) to getting freebies with your order. There’s another cool thing they’ve added—if you invite friends to FireMood, you can get additional discounts on top of different discounts; they are stacking so many discounts, which makes the price even better.

And keep in mind that there will always be some other merchant trying to sell you the same wood, but there will not be another FireMood giving you the chance to buy eco-fuel products for friendly prices.
