I bought a moisture meter to verify it was wet wood and sure enough, most pieces maxed out the moisture meter at 40%. The rest were 33-39% (you need wood below 20% moisture content for a decent fire, and ideally in the low teens or single digits).
I got in touch with them and they told me they would give me a cord of kiln dried wood at no cost as soon as it was ready, unfortunately after the holidays. I really only have room for half a cord so 2 cords was not ideal, but I needed some dry wood for this winter.
The second cord arrived on time, but again wouldn't burn. I split about 10 pieces in various places in the pile to take moisture readings from the inside. Again, the vast majority were 38-40%, and only one piece was below 30%, but none were below 20%, so certainly not seasoned or kiln dried.
I had to find a place for 2 cords of wood, which most likely I won't be able to burn for at least a year. When I let them know the second cord was not dried or seasoned either they said there was nothing more they could do for me. They suggested I find a dry place to store it and wait until it was seasoned.
If you don't mind wet wood, the positive side of the O'Malley Brothers is they respond promptly and deliver on time, but you certainly shouldn't pay the premium for dried or seasoned wood. If you are going to order from them I would buy a moisture meter ahead of time and ask to test a couple of pieces before they dump it out of the truck.
