Building a Wood Fired Oven and needed fire clay as part on my high heat mortar mix. No local stores offered this so checked Amazon *Bing* there it was. Ordered two bags and they arrived fairy quick within a few days so shipping time was better than expected. Because of the weight they came to me via FedEx Freight, they were not packaged in anything other than the material was originally packaged so some bag tearing took place somewhere in route. They were taped back up and there appeared to be little lose so was not a concern though I think better packaging would be considered here. The material itself seemed to be of high quality and worked great for my project so I am pleased with my purchase. I would recommend this product.
