Hardwood Flooring from Wayfair?

Question

Has anyone ordered hardwood flooring from Wayfair.com? I ordered some samples of their 7 1/2" wide flooring and it looks pretty good for the price. The reviews are good and they deliver for free in about a week. The price, selection, and speed all beat my local supplier... but something about ordering $10k worth of hardwood flooring off a website has me freaked out.

The house has a concrete slab so we are glueing it down (using Mapie 980). I'm not laying it myself, I have a crew doing the work. This flooring is wide (7 1/2") and some of the boards are really long. That means you have to have a really level floor to lay it on. We've spent almost 3 days leveling the floors. Not fun but it had to be done.

Looks good. How did you install? glue/nails/etc?

Quick update. I went ahead and ordered the floors from Wayfiar. I was looking for wide plank and they were by far the cheapest option for the quality I was looking for. I ended up paying $4.18/sq ft + shipping.

FYI. Wayfair's  Albero Valley - Farmhouse 7 1/2" Engineered Maple in English is their internal name for this product http://www.johnsonhardwood.com/products/englishpub...

Pretty pleased with these. I'll order them again.

"...but something about ordering $10k worth of hardwood flooring off a website has me freaked out..."     ..better to think twice, than ask for a refund (and getting denied)  once.

That being said, I'm curious to know what the 'experts' here think also!!
