Before I start

Before I start, Brushy Mt Bee’s have always given me quality products at affordable prices. Their location is great for me as we are in the same state. At first I was told large super was out of stock. Called them was told it was in stock and shipped which it was. Just wish I would have ordered it unassembled, looked like it was slapped together at last minute. Joints we not good. Took me longer to fix than if I would have constructed myself. Only problem I’ve had with them, I will continue to be a customer, all in all a great co.

We apologize for the back orders on your items you needed. We do our best to ensure we have plenty of inventory to fulfill orders but occasionally things do fall into back order status. Thank you for your patience.

Back order hell

Items originally ordered on 4/27 had several back orders. I was told that they would be in stock in 10 days and that the total order would be shipped then. Almost a month and 2 phone calls later I was told that they were still out of stock in PA and that the items would be shipped from NC. Clearly the locations do not coordinate, and had I not been following up I would still be waiting. They place shipping costs (it qualified for free shipping) over customer service. Bee keeping is a time sensitive activity and customers need to be kept informed and items delivered quickly. If you can't do so, then let the customer know! Don't make them keep calling to find out what's going on.

I will not be placing orders for back ordered items in the future. Brushy Mountain does not have the systems to coordinate between locations or with customers. You need only look to LLBean as an example of how it should be done.

Good Experience

I have only ordered one time. I was very happy with the fast service and great products. The delivery was fast, although the cost of delivery was very expensive.
