1/0 AWG XHHW-2 Copper Building Wire

I was a little afraid of ordering from Nassau cable because I read other reviews of people having delivery problems. When my 1/0 wire was shipped I received an email from David Bradman that it was shipped. I was a little nervous and called there customer care line and asked to speak with him about the shipment. He calmed me down and told me when it was delivered to TAKE PICTURES of the delivery. So, I did. Well, the boxes had popped open because of rough handling from UPS but each spool weighed 47 pounds plus the weight of the spool for 53 pounds. This spool was so well wrapped that I think that no thief could ever cut a piece off of it. I worked and worked and reworked to get the spool unwrapped. In fact, it took me longer to get it unwrapped then to measure the wire out. Even though I had to work hard to unwrap the two spools of wire (that came from the Denver wherehouse) I felt really glad that the spools where wrapped this way. The Denver wherehouse got it right! The wire measured out correctly, also!
Now the other spool was shipped out of the New York wherehouse and this is where the problem begins. The spool had a delay and some train mishap (how this spool was shipped on a train is beyond me) but the delay took an extra day for ups to get sorted out and delivered. It showed up with no box (just the spool) and the spool was poorly wrapped. I was freaking out and took plenty of pictures; and then some. So I emailed David Bradman with attached pictures and waited. It occurred to me that there is shipping weight on the item. So, since copper is heavy, I grabbed the scales and WEIGHED THE SPOOL OF WIRE! The shipping weight was 54 pounds and the scales said 54.4 pounds. (Hopefully this company will put the tenth of a pound on which would be more helpful.) So, I knew that no wire could have been cut off because the spool was a little more then the shipping weight. I then take a real good look at how the spool is wrapped and is mainly wrapped in the center with plastic while the outer edges expose the wire. Forntunatly, the end of the wire is in the center where the plastic is. So, I decided to unwrap it and measure it out. It measured out to the correct footage. 12 hours latter the email to David Bradman's email address comes back to me that it cannot receive emails. Nevertheless, I could have call him but did not as the case was resolved.
So… TWO THINGS TO REMEMBER IF YOU ORDER.
1) Pictures of the delivered item
2) Check the shipping weight and weigh item

AND DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CALL CUSTOMER CARE IF SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT!
So, if I order again, I want it coming from the Denver wherehouse because they did a very great job at spool wrapping! The thief would be forced to take the spool and all! 😂😂
So, I would not be afraid to order from Nassau, just use the tip above!
