Thanks for the input. I'm familiar with Boulter and Harbor. It's
interesting that most of the other sources are in the Pacific Northwest.
I also have contacted Noah's in up-state New York.
The problem in all these cases is the shipping costs. Sometimes there is
even an 'extra' charge if I have it delivered to a local lumber yard.
I know Harbor Sales runs trucks to this area; I've seen them MANY times.
Sometimes only a few blocks from my house. The problem is that they want
to charge me for an entire, 'independent' delivery. I've asked several
times about 'piggy-backing' onto an existing shipment . . . at their
leisure. Also WHO they regularly ship to in my township. They say they
don't keep records 'like that' or simply won't tell me who their
customers are.
If I was ordering a pallet load it would be a different story. Building
small boats to order I only use about 6 sheets {max} at a time so I have
to purchase carefully.
I will try Harbor . . . again.
Thanks,
