Wood deliver pics

[Intheswamp]

Oh, I think it would be quite fair to pick your own piece.

Ed, since you are from Alabama, I will give you all the wood you can carry.... in one arm load. If you are right!

Yes, i am that generous

Does that include supper with all the iced sweet tea I can drink??? I mean, after walking that far I'm gonna be thirsty and hungry

I find that what I have in a heap usually doesn't like much in a picture.

This was about 4 cords.

rdust, that is a gorgeous pile of wood!

 

[maverick06]

Its tough to get perfect measurements, but as near as I can tell I got 1.76 cords.
That is 88% of what I requested.

Now I am going to order another 2 cords for the winter. I only ordered 2 at a time so I could slowly stack it at my pace. I like this guy, and will call him for the next two cords. What do you think? Should I mention anything?? This is 88% of what I asked for... What do you think? Previous deliveries have been great. The tree work he did was also super cheap.

And yes, those who guessed correctly can try to arrange pickup of their winnings

Opinions??

 

[woodsmaster]

I doubt he internationally shorted you. I don't think I'd say anything.

Aw man, I missed it by .04 cord!! DRAT DOUBLE DRAT

 

[maverick06]

I dont think it was intentional... just wanted to get some opinions here. I've been intentionally shorted before... but thats a different story....

Do we need to get Henry Kissenger out of retirement to work on this incident? Detente' worked (I think) one time, it'll work (I think) again!

 

[yooperdave]

what the heck did that guy from craigslist say now anyway?? "i don't sell no stinkin dictionary cord"???

I would mention it, don't make a big deal over it though. First praise him on the quality of the wood and that the other loads you got were right on, then mention that this load just turned up a little short. Leave it up to him to make good somehow, or not. After all when you pay him you paid 100%, not 88% right? Should work both ways I would think.

 

[okotoks guy]

88% is pretty close. On 2 cords,it would be very easy to make that mistake when loading.
I sure would not think that was an intentional shortage.

If it were me,and I liked dealing with the guy and his previous deliveries were on the money
and he supplies a great product; I wouldn't say a word. Why make things awkward if it isn't
really necessary? If it happened again though,I would say something about how it happened once
before but didn't say anything and the second time I want it made right.

 

[firefighterjake]

That's not bad . . . actually a bit more than I thought originally. I don't think I would say anything if the guy is decent and the wood is good. I would chaulk it down to an honest mistake.

 

[mecreature]

I bet you are close enough to 2 cord that it is a non issue.

And I'm stickin to it.

And I'm stickin to it.

I will +1 That.

 

[Lumber-Jack]

Ok don't say anything, but next time just pay him 88% and see if he mentions anything. If he does that would be a good time to bring it up. %-P

What if its 110 percent? lol

 

[Flatbedford]

The way I see it is that if two cords is, say, 100 days of heat, you will be cold for 12. Is that gonna be ok with you?

might be 110% next time.

I tend to let things be if it not that big a deal.. Now my wife would call him on it.

He probably did not intentionally short you but he still owes you a full two cords. You've done business with him in the past. I'm sure he's an honorable man and will appreciate the chance to make things right for you. You don't have to raise hell with him but he owes it to you and if I were him, I would want a chance to do the right thing. If you shorted payment by 12% do you think he should just quietly take it and not say anything?

Even honest mistakes need to be rectified.

 

[midwestcoast]

So when he delivered before did he ever drop more than the ordered amount? Ever say 12% more? If so I say definitely let it slide. Well, unless you'd tracked him down to pay him extra after you stacked it (fat chance!). I'd say you could easily enough get a 10% margin of error in just the way people stack.
This & the whole "seasoned" thing is why firewood is still kind-of a handshake business, and that is why you need to find dealers you trust and keep a relationship with them when you do.
