Brokers vs Retail Lumber
Most online retail companies never touch or see the wood they show you on their website. They are simply middle men that connect customers to lumber mills and then arrange shipping. For this service they mark up the wood 30% to 50%. This isn't terrible but there is a better more cost effective way.
Lumber-quotes is not an online wood retailer we are brokers. This difference allows us to be 100% transparent as we help you purchase wood vs trying to sell you wood. We connect you to the mill and encourage you to buy directly from the mill.
Instead of trying to trick you into thinking you are buying the wood from us we show you the whole process and help you manage your order vs trying to control it. We don't use freight brokers to deliver your wood we handle shipping ourselves. This saves you money and gets better results.
