Having to sign for package
September 12, 2024

Everything was great except having to wait on USPS to deliver my packages. Not sure why I had to wait around and wait to sign for them?! It was frustrating because I don't like being tied down waiting for days to sign for my packages. Need to have other options. USPS is unreliable!

1/2 Cord Log holder
September 12, 2024

Easy to order. Easy to put together. Seems very solid as they used heavy steel which was well painted. Should last for a long time.

I bet that new neat stack of wood looks great. Congratulations on getting this little project done before the fall burning season starts. I hope you get a little smile on your face every time you grab a bit of wood. Warm regards from the folks here at Woodland Direct.

Chimney part
September 12, 2024

Your customer service rep. Was very knowledgeable and helpful when we were ordering a replacement part for the chimney. We would definitely recommend your company to other possible customers. We had our order within a week, which was outstanding.

Pricing was good but item came over a week later than expected and when asked about recommended installation methods got minimal to no help. Also used R&L which is my least favorite carrier. Slow, bad communication (did not call in advance of delivery), and generally hard on items.

QUALITY PRODUCT!
September 8, 2024

This is our 3rd purchase from Woodland Direct. In spite of the "lifetime" guarantee, we do burn through grates after about 3 years. However, pricing is reasonable, delivery is timely, and it is a quality product.
In comparison, we burn through grates purchased at our local fireplace shop in less than two years. We will stick with Woodland Direct!

MIssing item, wasn't made right
September 6, 2024

Two items were missing from my shipment. I noticed one when we started to install the fireplace. But the other, wifi dongle, wasn't discovered until a week or 2 later. Woodland replace the first piece found missing, but not the wifi dongle.
So I was forced to purchase a second unit. Got that unit, and it didn't work with a modern version of Android. So I had to return it.

Products seem high quality
September 5, 2024

All of the products received seem like they are good quality! Only thing that I think could be improved is communication. I never received a shipping confirmation or tracking information after submitting the order.

The product is solid and would give it a 5 but the site experience is not great so overall experience is a 4 - I inadvertently ordered two items since I did not get a confirmation that the first order went through. No tracking information available which is really standard for modern commerce these days.

Hello John. Thank you for the feedback. It sounds like we could have done a better job of giving you an expectation as to the time it would take to have this fabricated for you. You picked a high quality screen which was made to your specific dimensions and finish. We regret the time it took, but hope you are happy with the outcome. Thank you for your business and the feedback.
