I would give this a zero rating if I could. Products are good. But customer service. Definite…read morezero. Don't ever order anything from them, expecting, if product arrives damaged, for a resolution. Ordered a gift box that contained olive oil. When it arrived, the olive oil was broken. I called to ask for a replacement, evidently to the great displeasure of Diana with whom I spoke. She was very abrupt to the point of being curt. The replacement did arrive a few days later, also broken and leaking all over the package. When I called to ask if another replacement could be sent maybe better packaged I was very curtly informed that it was well packaged (not so) and she was not sending me another replacement because this was costing her money and she couldn't afford to keep sending replacements. Then complaints ensued because she was going to have to file a complaint with the carrier service. And begrudgingly information was given on where to send pictures of the 2 deliveries. Customer service at it's finest. I think not. No longer will this store have my business, and any friends I have in this area, I will be contacting to encourage them to look elsewhere to spend their money.

I ordered some post oak chunks and paid by PayPal. Once I got shipping confirmation i realized…read morethe address was wrong and sent a message to Fruita wood and explained the error. I didn't blame Fruita wood as this was obviously a pay pal error. Since it hadn't shipped yet this could have been easily fixed. Instead the owner Bert told me to deal with PayPal. Which is what I did. Then he got upset because I went to pay pal. I didn't file a claim I just opened an inquiry to let pal pay know there was a problem. Bert obviously has social issues as I read other complaints where Bert's more interested in proving his point rather than just taking care of his customers. I certainly won't be ordering again and I'll let as many people as I can know what kind of business this is .

There are much more reputable places to buy wood chunks online than this business. I made the…read moremistake of attempting to make a purchase that still has not arrived to date. I keep getting new notices of delivery dates with what appears to be an exploded box of wood chunks lost in the FedEx system. I have sent emails to Bret, during business hours asking for a refund, the last on Friday, without a response. Next step, I know my credit card will respond on a chargeback request within seconds. I would avoid using this business due to the sheer lack of customer service from the staff. In attempting to communicate with Bert, the business owner, is like dealing with a 5 year old in the midst of an epic tantrum, wanting a blue tube of M&M's and won't stop screaming until he embarrasses his parents enough , they finally break down and gives their brat the M&M's. So sad and pathetic. After nearly a week late delivery attempt, I refused delivery and Bert, the business owner has become unhinged and is now making threats of credit card fraud. I forgot to add, the charge back dispute was successful and my credit card has already posted a full refund. It's hard to believe Bert does not have better and more productive things to attend to, than argue over $39.00.

A year ago, while attending the Palisade Lavender Festival, my husband and I visited Sprigs and…read moreSprouts. This lovely shop carries a variety of items - we bought lavender plants and some flavored balsamic vinegars and oils but they have many more items. The plants are thriving and we've been enjoying the vinegars and oil. Recently, I tried drizzling strawberry basil vinegar over half my mozzarella Caprese salad and tangerine over the other half. My guests loved the flavors. Today we decided to add more flavors to our pantry. The proprietresses were extremely helpful. We tried many flavors and flavor combinations and were given great ideas on which foods went best with them. We also found a spice blend that is flavorful and versatile. We more than doubled our existing vinegars and oils. Some will be gifts but the rest will enhance dishes from salads to desserts. If you find yourself near Palisade, Colorado, we recommend visiting this business. It has wide range of products in an attractive setting and knowledgeable staff.

(We took that to mean well prepared, per order.) There was one man on duty serving in the front of the restaurant, I assume the owner. He was pleasant and attentive. Food was adequately good Thai, and many might consider it 5 stars out here on the Plateau, but it certainly didn't strike us as memorable. My wife and I both thought the portions were rather small. All that said, if you want to eat Thai in Grand Junction, this is closer to the real deal than we've experienced anywhere else around town.

Miniature cheese cakes just for me?!! In a jar?!!!? All sorts of exotic flavors and textures to wrap your insides in delight!!! I am excite!! Okay: So, It was actually a hot summery afternoon, when my schnoz persuaded my body to take a sharp right, right into their Downtown Farmer's Market booth. One of the jars was being opened for a customer, and this flood of decadence washed over me. I somehow managed to go through most of my life hating cheese cake (probably just on the principal of being a persnickety child), so now I find myself needing to make up for lost time, and what a way to do it at that! After immediately buying one for myself, I polished it off with hardly being allowed to share due to it's pure excellence. Do yourself a favor, And step into the flavor, Of cheese cake in a jar!
