Online Materials


Anyone ever order materials online, front doors, flooring etc..

Elaborate on how things went.

Re: Online Materials


I ordered about 2 dozen interior door knobs over the internet because the suppliers on the local sceen only had a few of these and few of that. Plus the locals wanted 2 weeks to place the order. I placed the order on Sunday night and installed them on Tuesday afternoon. I'm now doing the research on ordering truckloads of mixed lumber and plywood over the internet. I've had it up to my eyeballs hearing ...."all the materials are going to New Orleans".

Re: Online Materials


thanks for the info. I've always wanted to try an online dealer for various things like mantels, flooring, hardware, etc..
I've just never heard anyone else's experience with it

Re: Online Materials


I looked into getting some snap flooring. It was inexpensive but the shipping brought it up to local prices on some flooring. Most had to be picked up at a drop spot no jobsite delivery.
