Ok so local lady called me and wanted a half cord delivered. No problem I ask her what type of stove is it going in? I don't want to show up with 8 inch wide spilt stuff 18" long and have the customer refuse logs 1 by 1 - (happened last week! :censored: )
Oh small stuff going in a pot belly stove. less than 7" and less than 18". Spent a couple of minutes going over what I have for sale. Rounds are about 7" up and split is under 7"
Ok no problem load the truck up with what under 7" stuff, a whole lot of it was in stick form and didn't need to be split. So go to drop it off. She sees the wood in the truck has no issue with it. Unload a small portion in one area, then move truck to a different spot to unload the rest of it. She watches me unload both places and has no issues with size or shape. Finish unloading and she pays me. Off we go.
This is Saturday night. Then Sunday afternoon she calls me and says she paid me too much money as she received rounds!
What the heck!!!! :censored: :censored:
I explain split was anything under 7" across and I had made sure that she received small stuff as she requested. She says she wants split stuff. I explain again she didn't get cheated she received a measured 1/2 cord 2x6.5x5 for $150.
She tells me that the small stuff doesn't get as hot. Ok you should have thought about this when you saw it in the truck!!!
Gee Whiz lady, I am already one of the the cheapest guys for about 60 miles on delivered seasoned oak at $300. Got me mad enough that I am ready to go pickup all of it and just give her all money back.
