Not come across it myself, but I have mine delivered from a local building materials supplier, about ten miles, but he delivers free, often next day or even same day if you're in early.

I can honestly say I dont know where Bussiere Poitevine is but I find

it very strange that builders merchants in any part of France are so

different from my local one ( and similar in uk). I buy sand in 1cu

mtre bags ( 500 kg ) from Francois Cochard in Normandy. I am sure he

delivers although  I collect in a trailer. The bags are a standard

across the world ( we get sand here in Sharjah in the same way). Most

reasonable builders merchants find this method much more convenient,

easier to handle and hence cheaper as it allows fork lift truck loading

and mixed load deliveries much more possible.

May I suggest Grant that you look a liitle further afield for a more 'switched on' builders merchant.

Big Mat delivers in bags 0.75 cu m. There is about an 8 euro premium over buying loose but that includes the cost of the bag which is non returnable.
