Wish I had known this site was here sooner. I had some firewood delivered a couple of years ago. As a single mom in a rental I didn't have access to some things (like chainsaws, splitting tools, etc). I was ASSURED that the wood delivered was ""standard cut"" and would fit any ""standard"" wood stove (which I had). With this said, they were prepaid, came unannounced and dumped the entire load on my lawn. As my kids and I stacked it, I realized that many pieces were of different sizes and dimensions. Approximately ONE THIRD of the wood had to be shortened and split to fit the ""standard"" stove. Thank goodness a nice, young gentleman from our church volunteered to help. Would have been a very cold winter if not for him. When I called Mike's to ask about this I was informed that ""from time to time there are some odd-sized pieces that get mixed in."" One THIRD of the load?????....that's ""from time to time?"" Probably won't be using them again.
Pros: Local business, many trucks available
Cons: Not good for their word, poor business practices
