I invested $4,700 in a wood-burning stove, expecting a high-quality product. Instead, it arrived rusted and looking like it had already been used.

I reached out to the company hoping they would stand behind their product, but I was met with delays, excuses, and no real solution—no refund, no exchange, just a frustrating experience from start to finish.

For such an expensive purchase, this level of quality and customer service is completely unacceptable. I regret buying from this company and would warn others to be very cautious.

Hi Heber — we’re sorry to hear this.

We were in frequent communication after delivery and had a replacement ready within five business days, but a chargeback was filed at that time, which paused the process. After the first dispute was resolved in our favor, you re-engaged and requested a return; however, we were unable to proceed without the required information to schedule pickup. A second chargeback was then filed and also resolved in our favor based on the full order and communication history.

Loud Blower

Originally I gave Fireplace Direct a great review. Unfortunately, one week after writing it the fireplace was installed with a blower I had also purchased from them ($350+).
Little did I know that the blower was very loud, which was unacceptable in my
living room.
I couldn't use it, so I called to return it. Fireplace Direct refused to issue a return because I didn't have the original plain white box it came in.
I've spent thousands of dollars with this company and the blower was a complete waste of money. I wouldn't have purchased it had I known it was so noisy.

Dissatisfied

I just called because I want to exchange my fireplace for another one from them “that actually costs more “ they want me to pay return shipping. I told her to transfer me, to find out the cost of shipping & I was on hold 20 minutes, the phone would ring and they’d hang up to put me on hold longer that happened three times until I finally hung up!

There has been a great response to my questions and to issues with shipping

There has been a great response to my questions and the service has been terrific. We've had a few bumps in the road because of shipping issues with the other suppliers, but Jon in shipping has been great and Nick in sales was very responsive.

Hey Keaton,

Thank you for the feedback. We apologize that it was delayed, there was an issue in transit to us from the manufacturer and we shipped it out as soon as we received it. Unfortunately with this manufacturer we are unable to drop ship directly to our customers, and the carrier had a delay in delivering the items to us. Please let us know if there is anything more we can assist you with.

Hello Ashley,
We're sorry about the damage that occurred in transit to you. Thank you for clarifying that it is just the trim piece. We will need the serial number of your unit to get a replacement for you. We asked you for that on 4/8/24, and as soon as we get that from you we can work with the manufacturer.

Kudos to the FireplacesDirect Crew: Keeping Warm, Keeping Happy!

Huge thanks to the skilled team at FireplacesDirect! Recently, my PelPro PP130B convection blower, which is two years old, began emitting loud noises out of the blue. Upon searching for the necessary replacement part here, I experienced a seamless, swift process with excellent communication regarding my purchase. I've consistently received top-notch service over the past three years of utilizing your services. I wholeheartedly recommend FireplacesDirect to anyone in need.
