Does anyone know of a company who will sell direct? I need about 12 tons and drive a truck capable of hauling 24 tons and will split load with company or individual... I live in Albany and travel northeast regularly

Wow 12 tons.that big time:) compared to my 4. Maybe talk to a independent see if he can cut a deal for a bulk buy.
 
Call Aubuchon in Glenville. They'll give you a deal for buying that many pellets.
 
Weren't you friendly with Vermont pellet Co? Maybe they'll help you out.
 
Telescope in Granville will def do it. Also my buddy runs an ace and prob would set it up if you want to head out my way. His price on energex is already 240 so might do better.
 
My stove will burn dog food (PB105) so a low end pellet will suit me fine...With a dome depot 10% coupon I can get them delivered for pennies over $215/ton this may be the route I go...

I just called them...cant even come close to what HD will deliver them for.. The idiot there thinks he gets green supreme shipped for free!!! ANYONE who thinks shi[pping is free is an idiot....NOTHING is free!!! " our company is nationwide...we buy a large amount of pellets so they ship them for free" so why can home depot annihilate your price and my boss was paid to deliver them? Its in the price you pay...

Good pellets wholesale are more than that.
If you're looking for "price", you aren't going to do much better than that..
And you won't have to use your rig.

Hello:
Zip Code 16947 Troy, Pa Barefoot Pellet co. 220 Miles X $2.75 Per Loaded Mile $605 Plus Pellet Price.
All you need is a credit card, and a good Partner to split.
Their Phone is on the web.
Used Rand McNally Driving Direction and maps to get the miles from other location. $2.75 is an old Number. I have not had a reason to update. Maybe a member has a better price.
Good Luck

New England Wood Pellet will sell direct 24 tons is my understanding. $219 a ton.
Plus your shipping cost.. you'll need a forklift, and you have to unload quickly.

I also noticed this:
Our wood pellets supply is dwindling fast with long lead times for delivery. Please do not wait. We have 7 brands in stock right now but we are expecting there to be very little supply beginning in November. The pellet industry is experiencing much greater demand and has become a world wide commodity with large amounts of product going to Korea, Italy, and England among other places. We only sell pellets that we have here on the ground. Buying as you need it would not be a good idea this year. We are urging you to take care of yourself now. Stop by or give us a call

That's strange. The distributor near us still has 10 out of 14 brands available, and that's what they have in stock not what they take orders for.
 
gonna give a quick check of the Barefoots.. also my boss has applied for a dealership with New England but it seems the pricing structure will be outta line Since my stove does not require a hi grade pellet it seems that HD will be the best option with a 10% coupon dropping the price to 215.10....plus they will deliver for free!!! I jumped too early last year and they dropped the price just after I purchased....It drives me crazy second guessing where the price will go (short drive)...lol
 
I thought I heard Vermont would deliver bulk. If you are in their delivery zone that may be an option.
 
I would purchase them and what ever u don't use sell them when there is a shortage. If u have the storage
