Tried to order a piece of Zuri lumber and they completely dropped the ball. I initially received a price but the follow-up to ordering it was all air. Ended up going to a lumber yard 35 min away and had it the next day.

This is a business that has been in business for over 100 years. You don't last this long without doing something right. They have VERY High Quality lumber and building supplies. AND they have some of the most difficult to find items that nobody else can get. A++ All the way across the board.

I needed a single Westbury post. Called D&U and easily placed my order over the phone on a Thursday afternoon. They told me it would arrive on Monday. Friday morning comes, and someone called me to inform me that it was delayed by a day from their supplier, and it would arrive on Tuesday. They called me Tuesday to tell me it was ready to be picked up. Great communication, very friendly personal, and good pricing.

My wife and I are Canadian and have been overwhelmed and frustrated with the terrible service we were getting at our Canadian lumber stores. We decided to look into the United States for help and ended up working with a great representative from Dillman and Upman Paul Phedran. Paul worked with us and we decided to order our Timbertech decking materials. Paul was very helpful and made us feel very trusting and comfortable as we were about to commit a very large amount of money sight unseen.
Today our order arrived with everything very well packed and in excellent condition. I cannot wait to visit their facility to place our next order to complete our double deck with the rail system Paul has described to us. Money well spent with people we can trust. Thank you one and all at D&U.
