Mid-Atlantic (NY, PA, NJ, DE, MD, VA) The sad Long Island big box pellet problem

This year on Long Island NY, the big box stores just aren't getting large quantity of pellets. I check periodically, ok daily, and nothing. I am remodeling a room at my house and was at HD last night and of course I checked for pellets, none as usual. Went back today around 10:45 in the morning and they received pellets, the entire delivery consisted of 25 bags of Stove Chow. I of course bought them all. The garden dept employee stated he just put the pallet out before I came in. They have no idea when more will arrive.

Wasn't even a ton, it was half a ton! It is pathetic!

Sorry, they come in by the truck load, someone else beat you to the rest of them.

You are mistaken, I spoke with the garden associate who said he just got the 25 bag pallet in that morning and literally just put it out. He then stated he had no idea when they are getting more.

I agree, I would bet the farm that a half ton delievery didn't come from a mill! But a warehouse or neighboring store. With that said, it is so hard to find pellets at the big stores here because the rare occasion they get the large delivery, they sell in one day. A local Lowe's for a bunch of tons delivered this morning and the garden rep said they were all gone by noon.
