Is gravel cheaper in bags or as a loose delivery?
Loose cost is exact tonnes times the loose rate plus one delivery fee for a non-empty order. Convert tonnes to kilograms and round up to whole bags for the bagged option. Enter an all-in bag price and confirm any loose-load minimum with the supplier.
