In late December 2021, I found Chris Coleman's business card on my wall and called Chris informing him that I have my own saws, splitter, tractor and would like to purchase a load of logs from him because I was getting low on firewood reserves.
Chris eventually called back and claimed over the phone that the logs would be 16-foot long and that the amount of wood he would be delivering to me would result in 3 or 4 cords after cutting and splitting. Chris stated that the cost would be $300.00 payable when dumped.
Chris Coleman stated he would be by the following day with a load but that did not happen.
I waited another week and called Chris Coleman again and left a message to cancel because it looked like he was not going to be able to deliver as he claimed.
Later in the afternoon he returned my call to state that he was on a job but needed to clear off his truck and asked if I wanted the tree because he needed to unload it for my order. There was never a claim that I would be paying for the branches and tree he dropped here.
Chris Coleman was fully aware that I had owned a website for years, and that one of the items listed on my Free Dumpsite was branches, junk trees, etc.
When Chris arrived, his dump truck hydraulics would not lift up. Chris stated something was wrong with the hydraulics on the dump truck. His helper leaked hydraulic oil on the driveway in an effort to remedy the problem. The hydraulics still would not work. Chris and his helper unloaded the branches (un-chipped) and tree by hand since the hydraulics were not working.
Chris then approached me requesting $300.00 and stated he would return with my order the next day.
It is 2022 and he never returned, never called and never emailed me as to his notion of destiny.
Luckily I have some property in the back and after cutting and cleaning all the branches and dead wood that was dumped, the debris was relocated to the rear of the property to decay naturally with the good remains stacked near the driveway.
I would not bother to go through all the trouble to write this review if it were not something that I felt might affect others adversely as well.
