Ordered a Wolf Ridge MFG Splitter

Blaszer · Mar 11, 2020

Well I got the call it was ready for pickup, so drove over to Old Dominion warehouse in Winchester VA. After loading it on the trailer

I took a look over it.

Well bad news... Old Dominion damaged it in shipping. Looks like they tried to stack it on a shelf.

Damaged both valve bodies, oil leaked all over it, and took away my chance to put the first scratch on it :thumbdown:

The WORST part of it all was rejecting the delivery so it would be sent back to Chris @ Wolfe Ridge and then start the waiting all over again.

Good part is talked with Chris, and he is going to get it all fixed up and “new” again

That is sad.

However in hindsight , which is always 20/20, it probably should have been shipped without the levers in place, but that still doesn't excuse the other damage.

Shippers can be brutal but I agree that it should have been packaged better. My Brave was shipped in a full crate and I had to do some assembly like put the wheeels and levers on, but nothing could be easily damaged in shipping.

Dang! That blows. Good choice to reject it rather than try to fix yourself, though.

that stinks. Nice looking unit thats for sure. Its a good thing you looked it over before taking it home. I purchased my log splitter from Northerntool (northstar splitter). It came needing complete assembly. It wasn't bad. I did it myself. I enjoyed putting it together. It was well packaged as well.

when is your splitter scheduled to be delivered??
