Friendly helpful staff. They had everything we needed. I love one stop shops. Definitely will go there again and avoid the big chain stores.

Walked into the store to get pricing for some composite decking. Man at the desk wasn't exactly welcoming (guess I wasn't sure what I expected!). Told him I was new to the store but the lack of customer service was obvious. Apparently they didn't have prices or anything and everything had to be called for. If he had worded his response differently I probably would have sat down with someone but honestly I felt I was an inconvenience and turned around at that point and walked out.
Store was not busy and in this day and age knowing how businesses are suffering to allow customers to walk out the door should be addressed by management! Probably will not be though! First and last time ever in this store.

I am an over the road truck driver. I call Harvey Lumber to find out when they stop receiving. They told me that they stop receiving at 4pm. But they are open till 5pm. I told them that I would be there between 4 and 4:30. I have 20 pieces for them. (Windows) I got to Harvey Lumber at 7 minutes past 4pm. The receiving guy tried to get his boss to let him unload me. Even though I use a hand-held computer to check the windows in.
He (the head guy for receiving) told me that they didn't have their paperwork and that I would have to wait until 07:00 to get unloaded. It was ok for them to make me wait 15 hours to get unloaded. But not for them to work pass 4pm. If Harvey Lumber treats their Delivery drivers like this I bet there customer service isn't much better.

The price for the lumber was less than Home Depot, the delivery fee to out where I live was only 20 bucks which was amazing. It was supposed to be delivered tomorrow or the next day possibly but it ended up being same-day delivery! They are so awesome I can't even believe it. Very professional, awesome awesome service! It makes such a difference, and I will definitely use them again and recommend them anytime
