On smaller accounts, lumber pricing is not competitive with big box home improvement retailers. The sales model is sketchy, too. We got an initial quote for framing lumber in late April 2021, when lumber pricing was near the top. We didn't order until mid-July, when pricing was significantly lower. Despite a verbal request, sales kept the April pricing on the order. Otherwise, sales staff is a mixed bag.
Helpful for building and talking through complex orders but difficult to reach and error-prone. One easily avoidable error on a window order set our project back by about 10 days -- and would have caused a much longer delay had we not caught it early. Bottom line: If you're running a project yourself or working with a contractor that gives you the option, go to Menards or Home Depot.

I needed a window lock for a Marvin window - they sell Marvin windows. The people at the counter are clueless / idiots. Told me to go somewhere else (Alto). So I went to Alto - they told me that they can't get Marvin parts - it was just a way to get rid of me, nicely. Later, on the Internet, I found a Marvin parts list, with the mechanical drawings, and part numbers.
