Frequently asked questions

Got questions about firewood? You're not alone! Here are some of the most common queries we receive at Manawatu Firewood Supplys. We're all about keeping things transparent and making sure you have all the info you need to choose the right firewood for your needs.

How does delivery and pickup work, and what should customers know before placing an order or coming to collect their wood?

🚛 Delivery & Pickup — How It Works

We like to keep things simple and straight-up. Whether you’re getting your firewood delivered or loading up yourself, here’s what you need to know:

🔥 Delivery

We deliver right across the Manawatu and Tararua regions, using big-body tipper trucks that can handle serious loads.

  • Minimum order: Usually 2 – 3 cube, depending on where you are.
  • Access: Make sure our truck can get to where you want the wood tipped — firm ground, decent turning space, no low power lines or tight gates.
  • Drop spot: We’ll tip your wood in an easy spot for you to stack later. If you’ve got a preferred spot, just let us know when you order.
  • Timing: We’ll give you a delivery window and stick to it — no endless waiting around.

🪓 Pickup

If you’d rather collect your own, that’s sweet as — just book a pickup time so we can have your load ready.

  • Bring a trailer or ute that can handle the weight, and we’ll load you up quick.
  • We can help with loading depending on how busy the yard is — just ask when you book.
  • All wood is measured accurately — you get exactly what you pay for, no guessing.

💬 Before You Order

  • Let us know what kind of wood you’re after — dry, semi-dry, or green — and how many cubes you need.
  • If you’re not sure how much to get, we can help you size it up based on your burner and how often you’re using it.
  • We’ll confirm pricing, delivery time, and payment details before anything’s locked in.

What makes your firewood top-notch compared to the other suppliers down the road?

We deliver heat that lasts. Our wood is locally sourced, properly seasoned, and perfectly split for clean, efficient burning. Here’s what makes us stand out:

✅ Consistent, Dry Quality

Every load is well-seasoned and moisture-tested, meaning you get firewood that lights easily, burns hotter, and keeps your home warmer for longer — no smoky, damp logs wasting your money.

 Honest Loads, Full Loads

When we say 5 cubes, you get 5 full cubes. We measure properly and stack fair, so you always get the amount you pay for — no short loads, no excuses.

🌲 Local Wood, Local Jobs

All our wood is NZ-grown, supporting local forestry and keeping jobs in the community. You’re not just buying firewood — you’re backing local business.

🪓 Split for Perfect Burning

We split our wood to an ideal 30 cm length, making it easy to stack, store, and fit in most wood burners and fireplaces. No oversized logs that waste space or burn unevenly.

💪 Reliable Service You Can Count On

We’re known for being on time, every time. Whether it’s a single load or regular supply, you can rely on our team to deliver quality firewood with a smile and a handshake.
