Great Product, not so great service1/19/25Happy with product, very well constructed and solid. Purchased a weather vane and cupola. Weather vane is very solid and works well.
There was no communication about build time or delivery expectations. We received a note saying our order shipped a week after the order, but it turned out to be just the weather vane. After another week I contacted help and they said the cupola still needed to be built. I was OK with that, but not the lack of communication / expectation about it. It was more than 30 days from order to delivery, so plan accordingly. The delivery driver that delivered was rude over the phone and very snarky.
