We, too, ordered through a groupon that included a 7' tree, wreath, stand and lights. My first impression of Anthony Gallo is that they cannot handle high volume sales or deliveries. The woman handling the scheduling was very disorganized. She had to reschedule twice, then asked us to take delivery the day before we were scheduled, but the drivers showed up four hours late. This wasn't horrible since we were home anyway, but when I called her to check in, she seemed irritated and stressed, even though she was the one who suggested I call for a status if the drivers were more than an hour late. Anyway, when the delivery came, it was fine - they just dropped the tree off and left.
Later, as we set up the tree and untied it, it didn't look very full and certainly wasn't worth the price we paid for it. I had originally been hesitant about ordering a package that gave them control over which tree we would get, but I figured that they were trying to increase business so they'd try their best to pick out a good tree for their customers. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The tree is just okay. It's 7' feet tall, as promised, but it's a skinny looking tree.
Anyway, it's not horrible, but I don't think this tree is worth the advertised price. If you're going to their lot to pick out a tree yourself, it's probably not bad; but I wouldn't recommend relying on them to do this, nor would I buy any other groupons, or similar deals from them. They just can't manage the volume that results from those types of deals.
