This was due to my experiences from other vendors, as they either were late with the delivery or cancelled the order due to &#8220;Backorders&#8221;. But I decided to order from you and take a &#8220;chance&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Back in June of this year, I ordered 3 tons to be delivered in September. Well, it started to get later and later in the month. This caused some anxiety on my part. Well, no sooner than I reached my peak, I received a text that delivery of the pellets was to be on Thursday, Sept. 24th.<\/p>\n<h3>When the truck pulled up, I could not have been more relieved. The delivery person dropped the pallets exactly where I requested them.<\/h3>\n<p>As I do not have a driveway, and live in a congested neighborhood, I had to have them placed in an &#8220;inconvenient&#8221; place. This made the situation such that I had to &#8220;carry&#8221; each bag into my backyard and took me over 3 hours. Although that sounds terrible, it was not nearly as bad as what I used to have to do.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, I would have to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1) Go to the local Home Depot or Lowes<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">2) Pick up 10-15 40-pound bags at a time due to my vehicle<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">3) I would have to drive home, only to carry them into my house.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">4) Repeat this process 12-15 times.<\/p>\n<p>The worst part is that [the box store] ran out of pellets in late February-early March. As you know, our winters go into March (sometimes into April). So I would have to turn on my electric heat for the remaining 2-3 weeks. I could have bought a pallet from them, but it cost $400 per ton with delivery. The other negatives were: the BTU value was 7,500, there was high ash content, and I was paying $7.00 per bag.<\/p>\n<h3>With [Woodpellets.com] and the 3-ton delivery, I paid only $935 (WITH DELIVERY), saving me a little over $120!<\/h3>\n<p>I do not have drive to the store anymore; I have a better quality product; and, strangely, there was a labor-savings on my end, as it took me only 3 hours to re-stack them in my yard and house (it used to take me 15 hours with driving to the store, driving home, and stacking them in my house).<\/p>\n<p>To make a long story a little bit longer, your customer service is friendly, polite, professional and has a &#8220;family-oriented&#8221; feeling to it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Mark C. of Massachusetts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wish to take this opportunity to express how grateful I am toward your professionalism.
