I post this also on Craigslist where I found these guys.
This is a post from someone that has been ripped off by "ACC Landscape" 856-275-4689 aka Steve and Harry. Please read carefully because I am sure I am not the only one they have ripped off. Steve told me he was delivering about 10 cords a day. I guess that was 9 more suckers than me that day!
Things I was told when I called and ordered 2 cords of firewood from Steve (ACC Landscape):
* Their cords where 4x4x8 (true size of a cord (I did ask this up front)
* The wood was all 18 inches in length (again - I asked this up front too)
* The wood would be Locust, Sycamore, Cherry and other hardwoods (one more time - I asked this too)
When the wood was delivered I asked if it was 2 cords and I was told by Steve "YES, we have a bucket that measures out an exact cord". I told him that when I stack the wood in my wood racks I'll know if that was true or not, so I paid him cash $300, 130 a cord and another $40 for delivery. 2 days later, after stacking the wood I called and told him that there was no way 2 cords he delivered, and he was at least 3/4 a cord short. That was giving him the benefit of the doubt. I even sent him a picture of the wood sacked in my wood racks. After explaining what may have happened, he said he would "make good for it". His exact words!
Now here is were more LIES come in:
* First - The average size of stackable wood is only 16", the wood ranged from 4" to 20" with a good bit of 12" pieces (Steve said all wood was 18").
* Second - Steve never made good for it, avoiding my phone calls and texts
* Third - Steve said he was busy but he would deliver the rest of the wood either Saturday or Sunday and then Monday morning (never showed or called)
* Forth - Most of the wood is GREEN (NOT SEASONED)
* Fifth - Mostly all locust and sycamore, there is a little oak and I think I found ONE piece of cherry
Now, after being LIED to, and had money STOLEN from I had to look at the wood again. At mostly 16" and if I could stack the small pieces of junk wood they probably only really delivered me just ONE honest cord. Let me tell you these guys must think they are really sharp. There is NOTHING sharp about being a THIEF! The pictures I'm posting are wood racks that measure 5 foot by 12 foot. If the wood was 24 inches in length each rack wood still be short 8 cubic feet. As I said, most of the wood averaged 16" in length, that would be 8 inches short which adds up to almost another 8 cubic feet short. The top couple of layers has only 12" pieces, it's easier to stack that way..
So feel free to give them a call 856-275-4689 and let them know that you have read this post and if you've been ripped off too, add your review to Yelp and call the Better Business Bureau plus anyone else you can think of. This is just a service to protect anybody else from being taken advantage of. I also would NOT consider letting them do any other work for me or anyone else. Tell all you friends also! read more
