All,
I picked up a pallet of hardwood pellets from TSC, NW Columbus by 161/Sawmill Rd. $239.50 for the pallet, which works out to $4.79/bag. At the time I was there (yesterday) they had at least 10x pallets, so down to 9 after what I got.
For reference - the listed price I saw before was $5.19/bag with a $.20/bag discount for 50+ bags. I actually bought 2 bags at another store (London, OH) a few days ago at $5.19/bag and inquired about the pallet pricing. That would have worked out at that store to $4.99/bag. So the deal at the 161/Sawmill store on the NW end of Columbus worked out to $.20/bag cheaper even still.
I will say that I have 3 different types of pellets. The stuff on the pallet I got are "Hardwood Premium Wood Pellets". There were 2 ripped bags so they gave me 2 fresh bags. That stuff is "Lignetics Green Supreme Wood Pellets", also listed on the bag is "Appalachian Hardwood". The 2 bags I got at the other store the other day are "Freedom Fuel Super Premium Wood Pellets".
All 3 "types" of the wood pellets are under the SKU number 3195163. Both the individual bags and pallet are the same SKU.
Also of note - the full pallets are covered with another plastic bag to seal them. So it isn't just the individual bags inside. The 40lb bags do have holes in them for ventilation so they are not "sealed" = don't let them get wet. However, as long as the outside plastic bag is in-tact that should protect the bags from getting wet.
If you are splitting the pallet to load like we did - ensure that as you cut the outside bag you DO NOT slice the individual bags inside. The bags that were damaged appear to have been poked with a forklift. I did ask them to verify that the bags were all good/not damaged before giving it to me - it was once we loaded the bags we found the damaged ones. Had I loaded the pallet whole (on a trailer, truck) we wouldn't have found the damaged bags. However, damaged bags aren't the end of the world so long as you aren't loosing the pellets. It would be pretty easy to unload the pallet on concrete or asphalt and sweep up the spilled pellets to put in a bucket or something, so there is a way. When loading in the SUV 1 bag at a time the ripped bags just made a huge mess so it was easier to get a couple undamaged bags.
