Q: Why should I buy firewood from an FAA member?
A: FAA (Firewood Association of Australia) members are committed to using sustainable firewood that meets both environmental and usage criteria. BC Sands is proud to be a FAA member, to meet all the requirements of their certification program and to follow their code of practice, which includes ensuring our firewood supply is environmentally sustainable, is seasoned and ready to burn, and complies with trade measurement regulations.

Q: How far can your crane trucks lift bulk bags?

A: Our crane trucks will fit down most domestic driveways (2.7m or 9 feet needed for access) and the crane has a three metre reach, so the operator can usually put your bulk bags in a convenient location for you. Depending on access, our crane trucks can also lift bags over side or back fences.

Q: What does 'non-peak delivery, normally between 7am and 3pm' for firewood mean?
A: When you choose this option, we will deliver your firewood during periods that avoid traffic congestion around your area on the specified day. We load our trucks with multiple deliveries and the driver unloads along the most efficient and time-saving route - and we pass that saving on to you. If you really need your firewood at a specific time then it is best to select the 'specified date/time delivery' option.

Q: Can I share a firewood delivery cost with my neighbour?
A: Yes, if you and your neighbour order together for the same delivery time, then will only charge a single delivery cost. If your neighbour is a new firewood customer for us, then we will give you a 5% discount off your next order - see next question. Please note that you will need to phone us on (02) 8543 3401 to arrange this type of delivery.

Q: Do I get a reward for firewood referrals?
A: Yes, like many businesses, ours thrives on word of mouth! If you are happy with our firewood and service, please let us know about any other firewood users that you know and if they place an order with us, we will give you a 5% discount off your next order.

Q: Can I pick up my goods to save on delivery costs?
A: Yes, you can pick up at our yards at Taren Point and Brookvale. You can also borrow a courtesy trailer (from Taren Point), which can handle a weight of up to 0.75 tonne (deposit required).
