This is a busy place who apparently order lots of drywall, but we've been told they ticket drivers who sit in the road, so u have to make sure other drivers pull up & not leave gaps so u can't get in! Some drivers aren't courteous to others & the receiver is not helping to direct guys to pull up like they should. They r pretty quick to unload for such a busy place though!

Worst place. bought them almost $20,000 worth material, then they give me WRONG fire code caulk. SUPPOSE TO BE RED (Idiot). Ask for return they ran out of red caulk, as for return they said no. ( after three weeks). Asked to talk manager he alway busy in meeting ask for him phone number or email to contact him they said NO. Then Sale person JENIFER hang up on me. What kinf service is that did not care to help customer and just hang up the phone. Felt like big scammer supply place one you paid walk out the door they do not want to give you return or exchange. By the way their sheet rock 5/8 4x10 fire sheet rock almost $16 much higher then home depot only $9.7. F.ki. ripp off place and VERY VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

Delivered drywall. Fairly fast unloading. But expect to be there a few hours just do to the large number of inbound trucks. Got there at 1030. Had 5 ahead of me and 4 behind me when I got unloaded. Better than most at handling that volume.
