In TN they try and rip you off by giving you one row of 16" wide and8 ' long and call it a Rik,the actual measurements is 2'x8' ,I've never had a proper Rik delivery, always made them go back for more,rule of thumb ,a long bed truck slightly rounded is a Rik....
Your boxes are too big to move and they don't allow drying space between the ranks of wood. Because a cord of wood is a measurement of volume, one chord stacked up could be five or six feet tall and it could be not even stacked but random tossed for better drying. Much depends on the climate. I don't know where you are. Some people measure it when they sell it. It will shrink. If it is a cord when it is green then it won't be a cord when it is cured.
