Fireplaces are awesome - nothing toasts the holiday spirit in cold months like a warm hearth in the house! They're even better if you conveniently have a wooded lot nearby ... but it's not as easy in the city: while I can collect fallen kindling, I can't exactly take a saw to the trees in our beloved parks! Quality: Phil has some nice, solid, hard wood! Firewood, that is! Nicely seasoned, good size, and burns nicely! Pricing: https://philsfirewood.wordpress.com/pricing/ "Each bag holds 2.5 cubic feet, ~3-4 store bundles measuring 0.75 cubic feet each." Let's do the math! 3-4 store bundles: $21-$27 or $28-36 ($6.99-$8.99/bundle at Acme-Whole Foods). * 2 bags: $50 ($25.00/bag) * 3 bags: $70 ($23.33/bag) * 4 bags+: $20/bag (sweet spot, baby!) * 5 bags+: $20/bag with free kindling (if paying cash) * Specialty firewood: $30/bag Delivery and Service: Note: check website for 2 bag and 6 bag minimum delivery zip codes! We initially scheduled a 11:30A-12:30P delivery. Phil was running a shade late - but was very easy to get ahold of via phone/text and expertly managed a same day reschedule for a time that worked for us. Phil delivered and stacked the firewood where we wanted it stored (see picture) - which involved a smaller walkway behind the house. Sure, it's slightly pricier compared to: * Remote wooded areas (varies: 1/4 cord (32cu ft)) * Fairmount Park Recycling Center (free, but chainsaw it yourself) * http://www.phila.gov/ParksandRecreation/environment/Pages/RecyclingCenter.aspx However, having the convenience and confidence of a professional deliver and stack quality wood - saving yourself a trek through the sticks, a car cleaning, countless hellish splinters (been there, done that), and potential self-inflicted injury (don't even want to think about it) - is well worth it! read more

cheap and very low quality of firewood, I didn't like the customer service feels very arrogant read more

Phil's Firewood Delivers in Philly! I recently put in a modest order for firewood from Phil's to get ahead of the brutal cold and snowstorm. It arrived in time, three large bags, but it was flawed from the beginning, thoroughly soaked and dirty and, worse I couldn't get it to burn in my wood stove. I assumed it was dug up in haste from a bog and unfortunately made its way to my doorstep. I shared this situation with Phil via text; he said he would check it out personally, but he was swamped with orders pending the arriving storm. I assumed I would not hear back--a typical contractor's ploy in Philly--but then did several days after the snowstorm, Phil offering three bags as replacement and an additional one as compensation. I said one bag of firewood was enough, you have a business to run without giving away free material, and, besides, three bags would be a form of punishment for an honest mistake. Two bags of high-quality firewood appeared outside my garage. As stated, Phil's Firewood delivers in Philly, a purveyor who cares about service and his community. Mike read more

I bought 4 bundles of Cherrywood for my wife and her girlfriends so they could enjoy girls night in the backyard. The wood smelled amazing. The service and price was EXCELLENT!! Thank you Phil!!! read more

Don't be an idiot and get ripped off buying chemically laced bullshit logs at your overpriced city market. Get the real thing from Phil. He guarantees you more for less and he delivers it promptly to your door anywhere In the city. (Yeah, the UBER of FIREWOOD). Try Phil out and you'll see. read more

Phil's Firewood - Outdoor fire - Firewood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

100% electronic interaction, No voice calls necessary. Contact-free delivery to our city stoop as requested. I was raised on Jiffy-type artifical logs, the pressed wood kind where you light the paper. My wife straightened me out, and for years we bought the hardware/grocery store bag of wood. Phil's firewood is completely different. We bought the kiln dried wood so we could store it indoor's with confidence (no bugs or mold). it is beautiful, dry and lights quickly. This year we have had our warmest coziest fires ever. read more

What a great group. What a fun service! This is really allowed us to enjoy our fire pit in our outside space as a family during Covid. Thanks guys for keeping us city folks in touch with out outdoorsy hearts. read more

5 bags of kiln dried, and 2 bags of kindling, included delivery and stacking. Great service read more

Phil's Firewood - Firewood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This was a total joke. Called for a price for a cord and kindling put into my backyard of my CC home of 40 years which I get every year. Right from my back door into my yard. No parking issue at all I get 5 texts!! My address, a picture of my home, back yard, HOW MANY STEPS from the street. Then the next day...can we drop just the kindling off tomorrow and schedule the wood for another day! Then another text that "Phil is still figuring out a number and will get back to you soon"!!! Their pricing on their web site is a joke. Called my regular wood delivery guys and the next day got everything delivered for $250 stacked. Folks, you can buy firewood anywhere without this drama and total nonsense. read more

Wow.... Now that is what I call "Genuine" customer service. I found Phils firewood on yelp I called and got his voice mail that gave the option to text him, "other business owners take note, it's 2013 and so many consumers find it much easier to text while multi tasking" Phil delivered on the weekend at a time that suited me & I even had to change the time & he had no problems at all with that..... Phil arrived within moments of his scheduled delivery time, carried the firewood up a huge flight of steps and out into my yard and then even took a good 15 minutes to give me tips on how to build a great fire in my new fire pit.... The only down side is he is cash only I'd say his buisness would be perfect if he took cards (maybe a Square up card reader on your iphone Phil?) Other than the service was brilliant and Phil is a nice guy, I'll be recommending Phils Firewood to everyone... read more

My experience with Phil's firewood was great. Phil is a really nice guy and you can tell that he's goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. I sought Phil's service when I was looking for firewood in the Philadelphia area. I have never sought firewood on craigslist or from any friends, but I am familiar with the size of firewood bunches at grocery stores. For $50 (Price as of 10/9/11), Phil will bring 2 IKEA blue bags full of well cured firewood to your front door; he'll even carry it to your fireplace. I would estimate the 2 Ikea bags to be equivalent to about 5 or 6 grocery store bundles. His wood is definitely better quality. The firewood pieces are pretty large, but manageable in an average fireplace. Pros: -Friendly service -Quality wood -Home Delivery Cons: -There were a few bugs in my bags of wood (nothing serious) -Price seemed a little high (but not terrible considering his fuel costs) Overall, I had a great experience with Phil and will definitely do business again when I need more wood!! read more

Ran out of firewood for my fire pit, googled "firewood Philadelphia" and found Phil's. Called in an order at 3:00 and had 10 large bags of firewood by 4:30. (Approx. 1/3 cord.) Price was very good, especially considering Phil carried all the wood into my yard and stacked it up for me. Well worth the price and a tip. Thanks Phil! (I'll try to post a pic.) read more

Phil's Firewood - 10 bags of wood from Phil's firewood - Firewood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hands down the best firewood and best value ! They deliver and the Kiln-dried wood burns perfectly.

Where have you been all my life...or at least since I came back to Philadelphia? First time user last night. Phil delivered the day I called at the time he said with a text giving me a 5 min heads up. Stacked the wood in two different places I asked, took credit card on site and was gone before I blinked. I have cut my own firewood, picked it up from several different tree companies, bought desperately small sacks from HD, Lowes, etc...don't do it. This is the service. Thanks Phil. read more

If you are searching & reading reviews...STOP NOW! Use Phil's, amazing service from my first text to delivery! We even made a huge mistake on delivery day, but Matt handled it all with great finesse. I was so impressed! Thank you...see you again! read more

This is my second year with Phil. He and the team are great. Agree that the wood price and burn length is better than what I get at the ACME grocery nearby. Brings it to your door -- it works. Can't ask for much else! Always a pleasure. read more

Ordered firewood after going through our supply. Communication was outstanding, delivery was efficient, and we are very happy with the kiln dried wood. read more

Smart business. Faster than amazon prime plus it's real wood. Super convenient via text. He even offered to carry right to my door but I didn't want him to get a parking ticket. The bags are a tad heavy but if you have an elevator building it is no prob to carry yourself. Definitely on my speed dial. read more

his location is convenient , easy access to the wood yard. the wood burns perfectly. will definitely use him and refer his company many times over the summer for the campground . Thanks Phil!! read more

What a fantastic service! I needed wood for my new fire pit and found Phil online...He delivers right to your door (So convenient) and even carried it through my house into my back yard! Order 4 or more bags and it's $20 a bag. He brings the wood over in Ikea bags he lets you keep. I bought wood from home depot for $8 a bundle... it was expensive, small and the whole bundle burned in 3 hours! JUST burned Phil's wood last night- What a difference! Lasted much longer, nice size logs and worth the money. I would highly suggest buying the 4 or more bags for $20 (That's a deal) He also takes credit cards! Seriously... ever city should have a service like Phil's! Will defiantly be reordering! read more

Couldn't say enough about this service, and I could go on for awhile about how stupid I feel for buying the bags from the market... but I'll keep it brief and bullet pointed. - Called on Monday to check his evening availability. - Half an hour later her called me back and scheduled a 6-7 window on Wednesday. - Texted me at 6:30 to let me know he'd be here in 10 minutes. - Showed up at the door with four perfectly packed IKEA bags of firewood (they're like blocks) and a smaller bag of kindling for 80 dollars. (Note: the kindling is actually just smaller logs... not what I was expecting, but basically just more wood) - Carried it into my place and stacked one bag, while stacking the other three, but leaving the wood in the bags after asking me what I'd prefer. - Chatted for a minute and he he asked if I had any questions, which I didn't, then he was on his way. - Fire burning 2 mins later. The wood is great and burns well. 1 log is probably equal to 3-4 of the kiln-dried "hot sticks" you get at the market, so it's not just the volume that's great, it's the quality. I could really go on, but if you're in Philadelphia, and you ever have bought a bag of wood... just call Phil. You will be so glad you did. read more

Just got two bags delivered via TEXT. They were on time and they take card. There isn't much more I could ask for in a service. Matt gave me free kindling for being a first time customer and took everything to my backyard. read more

Texted Phil, he texted back right away and scheduled a delivery that night! He also texted 10 mins before arriving, and dropped off the wood to where I needed. Great service, and good quality firewood. Will definitely be calling Phil up in the future. read more

Phil, is a real person dedicated to providing firewood to city locals in a competent, timely and reliable manner. Goodbye, to all those guys from the burbs that used to rip me off and charge extra for firewood delivery is there was a hint of snow of the ground. Phil provided us with excellent service and great wood. He arrived on time and there was virtually no drama. More importantly, some of the wood arrived wet (hey, it happens). Yet, when I called Phil, he returned that evening to replace the wood with no extra charge. We made 2 orders with Phil this past winter and look forward to using his service next winter. Great guy! Great service! Great firewood! read more

Made it through a (very!) long, cold 2018 winter with a warm fire in the fireplace thanks to Phil's Firewood. Excellent product (perfect cuts, seasoned, dry, etc), and exceptional service. Phil is great about letting you know exactly (to the minute) when he'll be delivering the order, and he makes sure the logs are stacked correctly -- and are dry! Can't say enough good things about how terrific his company is, and how lucky we are to have this service in Center City. I'll be back in Sept with another order, Phil! read more

Phil was personable, his prices fair and super convenient for mid sized deliveries in the city. The firewood comes neatly delivered in reusable ikea bags and contains ~2.5 cubic feet which is approximately 3.5 times the amount of those plastics wrapped wood packs you'd buy at lowes/home depot. While the price is pretty much a wash if you compare apples to apples, Phil's wood burns slower and lasts much longer, as it's naturally dried and not kiln dried like the Lowes wood. With the delivery, and overall convenience, I'll definitely be recommending Phil for all of my firewood needs. read more

Phil is great! We have used him twice (so far will keep using him) and he is reasonable and timely. We got apple wood first and then a mix...i am so happy i don't have to lug firewood! All wood comes in blue ikea totes...easy peasy! read more

I had an emergency with a broken heater on Saturday and Matt made a special trip out to take care of us so we could heat our place through the weekend. Was already a fan of the service as it makes firewood in the city so much easier. But after going out of their way they've shown they really care about their customers too. Thanks again. read more

Easy-like even for rushed people who can't handle adult errands like having firewood delivered. I texted, Phil answered. Confirmed date. Paid cash and we got extra wood. Great customer service and easy to schedule. Call him. read more

Been using Phil's for a few years and have never been disappointed. Even with the price increase this year it is still worth it. They bring the wood upstairs to my apartment and stack it for me in my little closest. They take credit card right on the spot which makes it easier. read more

I liked everything about my experience with Phil. I ordered the wood by text message on a Saturday and he was able to deliver on Thursday night. I bought the 6 bags and paid cash so I also got a bag of kindling. Phil and his guy came right on time and even though there was a lot of snow on the ground they put the wood on the back porch. I have had the wood for a couple of weeks now and it's high quality wood that burns very well. It might be a little cheaper to buy wood by the cord or half cord but I found this super convenient and it's definitely the best quality of wood I have ever gotten. I would highly recommend this service read more

I'm very happy that Phil is delivering firewood again in 2012-13. He responded within a few minutes of a text and delivered 3 ikea bags full of wood plus 1 bag of kindling for $70 that evening. He even carried them into the back yard and gave me some wood storage tips. Definitely my go-to guy for firewood for my backyard firepit. read more

had them deliver wood twice last winter - efficient, on time, easy to get a hold of - he gives you his cell phone number. great service highly recommend read more

Phil has amazing service. He comes exactly when he says he will, brings the firewood Into the house to where you want it and the prices are great. He is highly recommended. read more

HARD-TO-BEAT PRICES, AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE, GREAT FIREWOOD!!! What more could you ask for?!?!? How about DOOR-TO-DOOR DELIVERY and FREE REUSABLE IKEA BAGS! Phil's also really courteous and punctual, that kind of reliable service is hard to find in any industry now-a-days but, not a Phil's Firewood. My experience with Phil, if you haven't noticed already, was great. I needed at least a 1/4 cord of wood for a 3 day, 2 night camping trip with just me and my dog in South Eastern PA in the middle of a COLD November week. Firewood was an absolute necessity since we would be sheltered only by a 3-season tent. I searched the internet and called over a half dozen businesses who either said I need to buy a full cord or just would not deliver to my area. By luck, I saw Phil's Yelp review and hoped that Phil could help. My trip was Wen, Thurs and Fri; I called Phil Monday night at about 9-9:30 P.M., got a response within 15-20 minutes and we were on for a delivery for the following night. Phil arrived early for the delivery (definitely not a bad thing, actually impressed that he found my location so easily), loaded 5 HUGE Ikea bags of wood for $100 and he THREW IN a FREE BAG of wood just because he didn't have any kindling (he didn't have to do that). I got a $120 order for only $100 with delivery included, you're crazy if you didn't just go "WOW". In my case, the next best price to Phil's would have been a local landscaping company that asked for about $300 for a cord of wood with delivery but, I would have to unload the truck one-piece-of-wood at a time. I could have gone the super market route but, if you do the math, you have to buy about 5-6 packs of supermarket wood (going by weight) for about $6 a piece (around my area) to equal just one of Phil's huge bag of wood. So $30-$36 supermarket Vs. $20 Phil. Also supermarket wood is generally kiln dried and that might be good for a really hot but FAST BURNING fire but, Phil's naturally seasoned (dried) wood is much better for camping and keeping a fire going throughout the night. My choice was very clear and simple for firewood and yours should be too. Choose Phil's Firewood and save money!!! read more
