Emberaire Fireplace heater

"I bought the emberaire fireplace heater and it doesn't really function for screen equipped fireplaces (glass works fine). They provided a full refund and assisted in purchasing an alternative. One last thing, your website is very professional. Thanks John... "

Better Online Companies to Order From

"I ordered chimney parts from Woodland Direct. I was not able to get around to installing these parts right away as I am busy. When I did get the time to install I realized that some of the parts were not going to work and tried returning them 6 weeks after I bought them (un-opened). Their return policy would not let me return them. In this day and age to have such a poor return policy is a bad business. There are better companies out there with better policies so I do not recommend using Woodland Direct."

Very smooth and fast!

"Just ordered a new wood burning wood fireplace. One of the parts needed to be received from manufacture before shipping whole order. Still received everything in 9 days after ordering. Very pleased with the folks there. As a note, they do manually approve certain online orders to ensure completeness which is nice."

Pricey Pricey Prices

"Decent customer service however it can take several days for technical to get back to you.
Found the same Olympia Chimney Supply product for 20 percent less from a internet distributor in Mississippi " The Fireplace and Chimney Store" than what Woodland offers, and that is the bummer, as it's amazing how little material $500 buys from them.
Guess that is how they can afford so much internet advertising.

Great Customer Service

"I broke a glass door on a fireplace and had to replace it as soon as possible. There ended up being a miscommunication between myself and the original sales representative (he was very kind, but was unclear about their return policy). However, as soon as I got ahold of a manager, they reviewed the issue and made sure everything was corrected on their side. In the end, I spoke with three kind gentleman that made sure I was well taken care of and I got the right size glass for one price. I would use this company again and again for fireplace parts."

Incredibly, I had a good experience with WoodlandDirect

"I ordered one item (a chimney cap). The ordering process was simple and straightforward. The item was shipped the next business day and arrived here in New York two days later in excellent condition. Looking at the other reviews here, it seems that I was quite lucky."

Poor customer service - Woodland Direct

"Woodland Direct does not back what they sell. I purchased a Vacu-Stack chimney cap because they claimed it would reduce chimney downdraft. The unit actually reduced the draw on the chimney so my wood furnace would barely burn. I had to take it off and they would not allow me to return it. Do not order from Woodland Direct and do not purchase a Vacu-Stack chimney cap.

I tried to post a review on Woodland direct for the Vacu-Stack but it wouldn't let me. Thsy must only post prooduct reviews if they are positive.

Lie about efficiency of fireplaces

"When looking on Woodland Direct's website, I noticed a couple fireplaces that had different efficiency numbers in the "Overview" vs the "Spec" sections. I called to find out if these were Steady State vs AFUE (or Canadian FE) #s and the "technician" seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. He condescendingly then tried to explain to me how a direct vent fireplace is "decorative" so those #s don't matter and aren't reported by the manufacturer. Really? Then why are manufacturers *required* to report those numbers by government agencies?

Anyway, after getting no information, I decided to go directly to the manufacturer's web site. I quickly found the FE rating for the fireplace I was looking at: 51%. What?! On Woodland's website, the "maximum efficiency" was listed as 85% and "efficiency" under the "Spec" section was 76%. Obviously, they just made these up to BS the customer.

Luckily, I found this out BEFORE I made an order...

"I just spent more them $4.000 dollars with this company and after i received all the parts, which came on different shipments, one pipe was bent on several places. I took pictures from the moment i was opening showing the damages. I has been 40 days from the delivery.
They did not want to refund me for the money neither send a new pipe. They also ordered more material them i needed. Since they were the professionals i took their advise. Too bad for me because now on top of having a totally bent product that i could not install i have left over material they made me ordered with no use.
I will never deal with this company again. I should've seems the other reviews before buying from them
totally irresponsible company!

"urchased a gas fireplace insert for our remodeled vacation home. We don't spend that much time there. So far in the few times we've used the gas fireplace it has broken down twice. The second time at Thanksgiving. The house is in snow country so the fireplace is needed. The first time it wouldn't operate was in August. So from August to November it broke down twice. WD sent out a part to fix it in August but obviously their equipment is sub-standard. Our technician that we used to install the unit said the remote and relay box is faulty. We asked WD to replace it once again with an upgraded option. They indicated its another $200! So basically we've spent several thousand dollars and we have a fireplace that does not work. WD will not stand behind their product. I plan to file a claim with BBB and other agencies. Avoid this business! After they get your money they don't care about customer satisfaction."

"When you order something from a company, you expect the picture on the website to match the item that you receive. Woodland direct does not see it that way. Deceptive advertising. Do not do business with them. Poor customer service. "

"This is the worst I have ever been treated as a customer. I would not do business with this company. I ordered a grate for my firepit for my husband. While I was ordering a prompt came up for a log holder. I ordered that too. They came in good time and I waited to open them for Father's Day. I noticed the log holder was a little scratched up but thought nothing of it. When my husband determined it was not for us, I shipped (AT GREAT EXPENSE TO ME) the log holder back in its original packaging within the return policy. I received an email saying I would not be refunded any money and they were keeping the log holder. I assured them and you I NEVER used the log holder. It is June in Kentucky...no fires burning here!!! They refused to refund me. I am out money on an expensive item I wasn't originally setting out to buy and I had to pay shipping to boot. I think this is inexcusable. I will not do business with them again. What happened to the customer is always right?????"

"This company bites. I spent more than $900 on a gas fireplace set. It had a defective valve, which my installer discovered after three service calls. The company was only interested in learning the serial number of the product! Wouldn't get it to me quickly even though my contractor's work was nearly finished. Avoid these people. They also don't communicate with each other. Lousy service. "

""Do NOT use this store. Wrong items were sent - did not match part numbers in included paperwork. Their salesman assured me the rest of the items would fit - they did not. I returned the entire shipment of stovepipe items but Woodland Direct refused to follow through with the refund - claimed there were scratches on one item. Items were sent back in same condition as received by me. DO NOT not trust the claims from these people."
