Does not have to be. They can also be divorce items, which have existed repeatedly in the past, only now they stay online longer and not every price is paid anymore.

The question is always whether you have the larger quantities. For the garden house foundation, I needed about 20m of curb stones, paving slabs for 15sqm, 2t of concrete gravel, 10 bags of cement, 10t of crushed stone, 1t of split 2/5, jointing sand. You round up 10t of crushed stone to a three-axle truck and have it delivered. You can either buy jointing sand in 2 bags or get a whole trailer load at the quarry for the same price. For curb stones, paving slabs and cement, delivery by freight forwarder costs almost as much as the material. The same problem with 2t of concrete gravel, because at the quarry you always pay transport costs for the full truck, no matter how much you actually ordered.

As for the move, I have been taking boxes with me for some time when I go to the construction site. Currently, they are piling up in the garden house, soon some can also go up to the attic. The plan is that on the actual moving day we will almost only transport the furniture; that will be tight with one trip, but quite certain to be enough with two. At 150km it's different of course, that has to work with one trip.

Did I claim otherwise? ;)
I gather from your answer that you had the 10t crushed stone delivered and did not drive back and forth 10 times with a trailer.

I just checked, for example, at Hornbach I can have 100 lawn edging stones delivered for 39.90 EUR because I live within a 20km radius of the store.
That's 1.8t just like that. Driving to the store, loading up, driving 2 times with a normal car/trailer… you have to have the trailer first… then driving 1-2 hours through city traffic…

And Hornbach delivers it to the curb at my property for 39.90… and that's supposed to not be worth it? ;)

You massively underestimate the value of your time, in my opinion. And also the costs of the car that you constantly move from A to B. I have a company car, that might still be worth it… but the time… the time…

PS:
This also works with 500 stones, so 9t.

I was just about to look for a comparison offer, but unfortunately Obi Mähwinkel only delivers in pallets of 77 pieces ;) Hornbach also charges me a hundred for delivery and takes 2 weeks. Well, I wouldn't drive there, since the nearest one is in Rottweil and that's quite far away ;)

City traffic

We don't have that, we live in the countryside.

I’m telling you, it’s individual, no need to discuss it for long.

Yes, that is individual. Freight deliveries are a horror to me, you stand at home all day on call. And you need someone to carry it inside, because they leave it on the sidewalk. For me, not much of a gain, I only go through this effort for really large deliveries.

As I said... there are reasons why it is the way it is.

Was at Ikea yesterday. Our desired front cost €799 in the reference price in December, yesterday it was already €949.

That's because of Knut. From 01/15 there will be 15%
