We bought kitchen cabinets and new dishwasher and other stuff from Home
Despot a few months ago. They charged us a drayage fee of about $25. A
few days ago, I wanted lumber to build raised beds and called our
neighborhood lumber company, ordered 2X10s and 2X6 Douglas fir. Yes ma'am,
they could deliver that afternoon, and Yes ma'am, we could pay for it on
delivery. They did not charge a drayage fee. I think the total charge is
about identical to what it would have been from Home Despot, but I felt
particularly good about dealing with the company we've done business with
for 30 years. They know what they know off the top of their heads, they
don't have to go look up dimensions in stock either.
