Firewood Delivery Invoice Template (Free)

By ShowTheReceipts · Updated

Short answer

A firewood invoice needs the quantity in full cords or face cords with the species and whether it's seasoned or kiln-dried, delivery priced by distance, and stacking as a separate labor line — with the measurement stated plainly, since disputes in this trade are almost always about what a “cord” meant.

What belongs on the invoice

  • Business name and contact info
  • Customer name and billing address
  • Job or service date
  • Line items — cords or face cords by species, seasoned or kiln-dried, delivery, stacking
  • Subtotal, any tax, and total due
  • Payment terms — deposit paid, balance due date
  • Payment method(s) accepted

The line that saves the argument

Itemizing the parts a customer can’t see is what makes the total defensible. A single lump sum invites haggling; a breakdown invites a question you can answer.

Skipping the copy-paste

A blank template works until you’re doing it between jobs. Invoicing software with your rates saved builds this in one tap, attaches a payment link, and keeps the deposit and balance on the same record.

Frequently asked questions

Why state the measurement so precisely?

Because “cord” is used loosely and a face cord is roughly a third of a full cord. Writing the dimensions on the invoice is the single best protection against a customer who believes they were shorted.

Should stacking be extra?

Yes. Dumping a cord takes a few minutes; stacking it properly takes 30 to 45. Pricing it separately means the customers who want it pay for it.

Do I charge for distance?

Past your included radius, yes. Firewood is heavy and low-margin per mile — a delivery 25 minutes out can erase the profit on the load if the drive isn't priced.
