Anybody ever buy a stove from Solvenia?

[fabsroman]

I am contemplating a wood stove purchase from this website:

https://solvenia.shop/

Problem is that I am wondering where they are located, what they are like, and whether it is a scam. The website seems too intricate to be a scam, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Thanks

I'd do some comparison pricing. Some of those stoves are available at the big box home improvement stores and Tractor Supply etc.

Looking at the website- pricing seems interesting. Is everything done through web, or can you actually talk to someone? My own thought would to be cautious. Always best to go somewhere and visit where you buy something. Interesting, but I'd pass. Good luck.

Looks like at best they might just be a webstore that drop ships from the manufacturer's warehouse. At worst, it's a scamsite set up to grab unsuspecting folks looking for a bargain. It this business is not easy to verify via the Better Business Bureau then stay away. Personally, I would avoid until legitimacy is determined.

I looked at the BBB website and didn't see any listing for Solvenia

The address is a house in a subdivision. 11328 Linden Depot Rd, San Antonio, FL 33576

I'd be a hard pass. There are no reviews online anywhere that I can find.

I did a bit of research on the domain via Who.Is. The IP is out of Canada and has been used for a lot of different domains, including some pretty sketchy ones. Agreed, on the hard pass.

Thanks guys. I talked to my wife today about this and the Elegant Homes ad for the same stove at $800. Think I am just going to buy the stove at the $1,200 price point from a reputable dealer and sleep a little better after placing the order.

I too did some research after I started this thread, and the business warehouse address is a single family home just north of Tampa, FL, as others have confirmed in this thread. The business address is the same place. Right after I started this thread, I sent an e-mail to the contact us e-mail address and have not received a response yet.

Like they say, if it is too good to be true, it usually is.
