    Yeah I always wait for confirmation before loading. I’ve already had 1 guy fail to confirm on delivery day. A few years ago I made a long drive delivery and no one answered the door. Fortunately I found another buyer for the load.
    The guy eventually texted me and I told him I texted, called, knocked and then blocked his number.

    Firewood sells better in cold, because Americans can’t bother to plan ahead… buy convertible in fall if you have storage
