Our bricks transportation costs are fixed and vary from city to city. However our prices are negotiable depending on quantities you order. We change our transportation rates from time to time depending on seasons.
Clients have choices to make when ordering bricks, whether to order packed ones or loose. Loose are considerably cheaper to transport than packed. Nevertheless though bricks on pallets are expensive, people tend to choose them over loose ones. Quiet a few clients resort to loose as a way of cutting costs among other reasons best known to them and others listed below
Packed bricks vs Loose bricks
Packed/Palleted/Wrapped Bricks
- They take less time to load and offload
- Machine loaded hence no risk of breakages
- Quantities are delivered in full (each pallet has 5000 bricks)
- Costly in terms of both labor and truck hiring rates
- Very efficient and time punctual
- Can easily be packed and no risk of falling on passerby’s or playing children
Loose Bricks
- They take long to load
- Manual loading hence there is a risk of breakages
- Quantities may not be in full due to breakages from loading and offloading processes
- Less costly in terms of labor and truck hiring rates
- Not efficient as at times laborers need to rest during the loading or offloading process.
- Time may not be as promised, deliveries may need about 2 more hours as compared to pallet transport
- There is a great risk of the bricks falling on passerby’s and children if they are not carefully packed
- The bricks stack may get hit by truck trailers when driving off after offloading
