      We purchased a ************ fireplace from this company in April of 2022. Since install, the fireplace has not produced any flames and we have done all that the company has advised us to do in the process. We are not getting a resolution. We have a fireplace installed that cannot be closed up in our wall, and does not work.We need our purchased ************ fireplace to work, be replaced, or refunded. Months are going by with no resolution. We need someone to expedite this process as no one at the company is doing this.

      When I found this complaint I had a look and confirmed that the customer has been waiting too long for a resolution on his purchase.  We are working on a warranty claim with the manufacturer but will make this a priority with all parties involved.  Prior to coming here, **** reached out to his tech here at Woodland Direct and didn't get a response.  Even without information, the courtesy of a return call would was not an unreasonable request.  If Woodland has to bypass the process and buy these customers new equipment or parts, we will get this moving forward today and the customer will hear from his tech before the end of the day.

      [A default letter is provided here which indicates your rejection of the business's response. 

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of why I am rejecting this response appear below:

      Dear ********,
      I apologize, I did not see the response from the BBB on 11/10. I somehow missed this email completely.
      This case has not been resolved. This company is completely dragging it feet.
      This is the response I received on 11/10. I'll make a better attempt at following up with you two every day or two. Busy season is, well, busy, but I want to make sure you two don't feel as if I've left ya'll in my dust. I'll let you know if I need any additional info to keep making progress. They do not keep in touch as above stated. I call, leave messages and nothing. Days go by. Sometimes weeks.
      I responded politely, of which have done each time-for months now.
      On 11/15, they reached out to us through email and asked about the venting system, once again-gave an immediate reply-but no response from them as to date.
      Days go by not knowing anything.
      This matter is still unresolved.
      We need an immediate resolution after 7 months now since purchase.
      Thank you,
      *******************************

      Both the tech and his supervisor have been made aware of the complaint here as well as your frustration in waiting for a resolution.  Expect to hear from us soon.

      They said if I ordered I could return. I have tried for two months, and they won't let me return.

      We're confused by the complaint as we have never denied the return and as recently as this afternoon, we resent paperwork and instructions for the return as we've done many times prior.  We make returns pretty easy.  As soon as we have record that the return is back to our warehouse, she'll be issued a refund.
