Just as an aid to price comparison, I bought 20cuft of wood recently, scawton quoted £70 for delivery and Timports £100. I went with Scawton as cheaper all round, even with delivery the cuft price works out a little under 2/3 that charged at my local retailer.
Some of it was a bit shocking mind you, my friendly local wood supplier’s boards are often usable every inch from tip to toe but in this lot a couple of boards were split almost half their length and a couple more were jam packed with knots. They have found their uses, but I mention it so you know what you’re buying – which I assume is whatever timber is at the top of the stack – and buy that little bit extra to account for it.
