For our house in Gilford, NH we ordered one cord of firewood from Rich Bergeron . He brought it in two batches. The first time he unloaded the wood, it was a bright day. And the second time the wood was brought and unloaded when it was already dark. When we finished piling the first batch of wood and turned to the second one, then suddenly we found that it is very different from the first batch. A significant part of the second batch consisted of rotten and water-saturated branches instead of real wood. At the same time Rich assured me that his wood is dried for 3 years.
On top of that, most of the wood was heavily contaminated with fungi. So in the second batch, a significant part of the bark was covered with large fruiting bodies of pathogenic fungi. My wife got a severe allergic reaction after helping me move wood to our basement. It took her several days to recover.
Finally, I measured the amount of wood delivered to us and found that Rich had brought us less than one cord, just 3/4. That is, for $300 we got ¾ of a rotten wood. This means that 1 cord of such a low-quality product he sold us costs $400. As soon as I found out that he had cheated on us with the second batch I immediately called him and demanded a replacement. He promised to replace, at least partially. Said we should put the rotten wood aside, and that he'd come to look and replace it. But he didn't come, he lied again. When I called him again the next day, he just hung up the phone.
Please be careful with this company: dishonest people sell a bad product that can also be a serious threat to your family's health.
