Mulch #3 still not cool

Ok I am getting tired of this story...so I will cut to the high speed version ....

I order the two pallets included in the price is $300 delivery....2 bucks a bag
The trucker comes and wants $2,500 for delivery???
2 days later they straighten it out and it gets delivered.
I start to spread the stuff......what????this is not the right color it's really red!!
Oh Boy....it also has mold on it.......
Maybe I can get the right color....I won't stand for the mold
I call up the rep...she is horrified and tells me they will replace it
Sends me samples of the new type.....it's red too
OK I will go Red.
Sends me two more pallets BTW can you get rid of the first two pallets...too much cost to get them back. Sure!!
Driver drops off 1 pallet....they lost the other one.
Spread the old stuff...it's red and moldy but the mold looks to rinse off?
Break open a bag of the 2nd pallet of the old stuff.....different color...the original color I wanted
2nd pallet of the new stuff arrives.

At the end I get 352 bags...about 11 yards for $1,100...retail is 9.99 a bag..or $3,500 plus that does not include humping 350 bags from home depot. Wood Mulch would of cost me $600 or so.

It was a hassle but it all ended well.

All this while we try to get ready for the HOW tour.

Enough ever said on Mulch ever again
