In an attempt to be environmentally conscious, a neighbor and I decided to have mulch delivered together via Mt Scott's divided trucks. I ordered one type of mulch and the neighbor another type and we live on the same block 4 houses from each other. We expected Mt Scott to charge one delivery fee...but were surprised that they wanted to charge 2 delivery fees. The neighbor ordered 3 yards of hemlock for $160 (would have been $102 if not delivered)...a whopping $58 delivery charge. I ordered 1 yard of fir for $90 (would have been $32 if not delivered)...yet another $58 delivery charge. Charging a $116 delivery fee is absolutely ridiculous and we consider price-gouging so the order was cancelled. Although we have had delivery from Mt Scott for the past 3 years, we will not place future orders at all.
