Go on facebook marketplace and see if there is still someone selling lehigh anthracite coal in Mora MN. Search for coal in Mora and you might find it. Theres someone in Itasca? too. Other than that contact the various bagged coal places. 2 of them have reps here, Blaschak and Lehigh, and see if there are any dealers near you. Its a bad time of the year to be looking in our location. Im in SE MN.
Once you get into SD or ND, it could get hard to find anyone. There are several dealers in SE MN because of Amish. Im unsure what is up with TSC quoting you such a price. That manager must not want to mess with it.

I sent a dealer location request to Blaschak hoping for a reply. yeah the guy we got it from originally was Amish not far from Rochester. The TSC quote was on their web site the store doesn't stock it. Figure I could get it shipped to their store only 30 miles from me. But still it's $9 a bag which is $3 a bag more than what we originally paid. Mora and Itaska are so far from me it's not worth the trip.warminmn wrote: ↑Fri.

It might be worth checking the $ to buy a pallet of bags in PA and have Fastenal move it to one of their locations near you. As of a few years ago they had pretty cheap rates in some lanes for moving palletized stuff.

Years ago I had a chat on the phone with this place in Mineral Point WI and he offered to ship coal to me. Unsure if he even sells or ships it anymore but might be worth a try. https://bossertfireplaceshoppe.com/ I'd wait to hear back from Blaschak 1st. Theres a rep on this forum from Blaschak I have contacted before. Blaschak Coal is his user name.

Phone calls are often more effective than filling out those online forms.
Blaschak and Reading have their dealers listed, Lehigh and Kimmel's will look them up if you call and ask.
