GBReturned to them to place an order Returned to them to place an order, and as always received great service from Isaias Pagan, that resulted in the delivery of both Tigerwood and Ipe. I had previously ordered a large order of Ipe for my previous home. This is my go-to source for service and quality!

GBA very nice purchasing experience I found an inventory reduction deal listed and called in to see if I could inspect the "B" grade product I was interested in and received a very positive response. The sales rep Bill Cummings was very personable when showed me the material I was interested in. After I made the purchase, Bill discovered a discrepancy with the batch of material, but he quickly recovered with the help of his Team. Overall, Bill made the purchase experience very pleasant. At pickup time, the personnel that helped me load and secure the material on my trailer were very knowledgeable and helpful. From the reception to the material loading, overall this was a very pleasant experience. Thank you, to Team Advantage Lumber in Grover, NC

GBRidiculously high prices here Inflation is bad enough now days but...a $1600 set up fee for a 4ft long Ipe dowel 2" in diameter is just stupid. What a rip off! I wouldn't recommend this company if your looking for an honest value.

GBBusiness during COVID Placed a simple $405 order, including roughly $170 expedited shipping, for IPE samples to be sent to my construction site. Several weeks later - - nothing. No materials, no response from email customer service. LONG waits on the phone trying to track the order. Customer service telling me they will "speak to a supervisor and call me back"...No return call. I will apparently need to contact my credit card, claim fraud and dispute the charge. Just the worst company - massive waste of time.. 12/7/2020 I was contacted twice soon after posting this review, which I really appreciate. The emails were apologetic, blunt and honest. Apparently this company has been especially hard hit by COVID and shortages, both labor and lumber. I've been offered help and will update as this progresses. I'm under the gun on an expensive project and am hopeful.

GBI have spent over 10k on IPE wood and… I have spent over 10k on IPE wood and have made 3 orders to Advantage Lumber. The customer service is awful and delivery times are significant. When asking when an order will arrive, I have been always answered with a cryptic answer " Our order lead times are unto 14 business days and from then it is unto the carrier". I experienced additional issues and problems when asking about board split/cracking and was met with an immediate and defensive customer service rep. I could not even finish a sentence before this guy finished what I was trying to say...The first question "where did you store your wood? Thats why it cracked, did you read our website and policy?... These guys are a marketing machine drop shipping from several locations and don't care once your payment is made.
