Pennsylvania is our home state and the only one we serve from inside. Our distribution facility is in Levittown, PA in Bucks County, which makes most of eastern Pennsylvania a same-day or next-day pallet zone. Philadelphia is 45 miles south, the Main Line and Chester County 50 miles, Allentown and the Lehigh Valley 50 miles north, the Poconos 80 miles, Harrisburg 110 miles, and Lancaster 80 miles west. Pittsburgh and western PA are 300 miles west and outside the pallet zone, where we ship free UPS Ground on packaged Mega Bags and Boxes.

Pennsylvania has the widest customer mix of any state we serve, because we serve the full geography from the Bucks County suburbs to the Allegheny plateau. Five profiles repeat.

Fourth, the Lancaster County rural fireplace and stove account (Lititz 17543, Lancaster 17602, New Holland 17557, Ephrata 17522).

Kiln-dried matters more in PA than almost any other state in the country, because PA is ground zero for the spotted lanternfly. The active PA spotted lanternfly quarantine is currently statewide (effective March 2024) per Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Allegheny and Beaver counties around Pittsburgh are also in the quarantine. The PA Department of Agriculture issues quarantine permits for any business moving firewood across county lines. Emerald ash borer is statewide. Untreated cordwood from a local cutter cannot legally be moved across county lines inside the lanternfly zone. Our heat-treated wood, certified to USDA APHIS phytosanitary spec, ships with quarantine compliance documentation built in.

The Poconos and Lake Wallenpaupack corridor is second-home and ski-house seasonal. Lancaster County splits between Amish-country rural primary-heat and Lititz-area suburban fireplace. Western PA is overwhelmingly packaged.
