Was wondering the same thing ? Haven't seen any stock outside his new location ?
When you receive pellets do they bring a pallet jack?

Home Depot in Taunton delivered my order of 3 tons of Fireside ultras this morning. The store called to make sure I had my pellets so they could send someone out with a pallet jack to place them under my carport. I told them I wasn't going to be home at the time they were going to come by so I placed 3 x's with duct tape where I wanted them placed. When we got home they were placed very nicely where I wanted them. Good job Home Depot.
Bernier is done ~ moved to Lyman and has his vacuum business at that new location on the corner of 35 and 111.
HOWEVER, he has leased his building on rt 4, along with his forklift to a guy from Limimngton, and now has a pellet stove shop, which does installs and cleanings ~ as well as sell pellets. Place is called Remmington. I bought the Corinth at $230/ton ~ but believe they are $240 now. 80 soft / 20 hardwood.
$25/ton delivered, but they are hand unloaded, so they go where you want them.

Nope, LG's and Geneva
Bernier gave me a bag of the Corinth to try last spring and it did well ~ small sample size, but you really never know one batch of any brand to the next batch anyway (except maybe the flooring waste pellet companies).

My neighbor gets his pellets delivered from Squire's in Monson and they bring a pallet jack for him.
He is elderly though. Not sure if that's why. I just find it odd that they told you they don't do that.

They obviously don't respect your patronage seeing how they told you at the time you placed the order that they would be able to put them exactly where you requested in your garage and then refused to come back and do so after they were delivered but not placed in the agreed upon spot.
It doesn't matter what other pellet suppliers do or do not do. The only thing that matters as I see it is that this business told a customer that they would do something very specific, took his money, and then did not follow through as promised. If I were you I'd write an angry but tactful letter. they may or may not give a damn.
For the record I'd like to recommend my pellet supplier for those of you in southeastern NH. I have been buying from Benson's Lumber in Londonderry. They carry MWP at a decent price and $10 flat rate delivery fee. They have a forklift on the truck when they show up and they always drop them right outside my bulkhead as I request. They have been nothing but reliable and professional in my experience.

He drops $8K on pellets at one time?!?!?!(assuming $200 per ton and no delivery)
Ill have to inform the wife that our 4 tons are inadequate. Does he have a warehouse to keep them in? I'm assuming hes stacking them 2-3 pallets hight?

After my first year, restacking three tons by hand, I bought a used pallet jack. I am so glad that I did.
The fork lift puts the pallets far enough in the garage that I can get the pallet jack in front of them and I just wheel them to the back of the garage.
This year I bought from a pellet supplier instead of from a big box store. They offer two levels of delivery service (for a small difference in price of course). Flexible delivery is with a fork lift and leaves the pellets at the edge of the garage. Custom delivery puts the pellets anywhere a pallet jack can reach.

Someone posted this picture on this forum once. That would be illegal in most states without a police escort.
