A comment on Kate's review - I don't understand why anyone would think that a credit of a specific discount type ($400 off delivery) could be applied to some other part of a order. If the $250 delivery fee that was negotiated (instead of a usual $400 fee) and was paid and then refunded, there is no $150 to apply somewhere else. The store's position on this makes sense to me.

So after three weeks waiting I called and asked what was going on. I was told the material would be delivered be in 5-14-2026 and delivered the next day 5-15-2026. Well the date came and went and still no materials delivered. No phone call, no delivery. This company will just take your money and leave you hanging then blame their distributors. Their problem is now yours, and you get to pay for it ! I will never trust this company again !

The person,(I'm sorry I forget his name) was very helpful and worked with me trying different options by piecing pipe and flanges together to get to what I needed. Probably spent 1/2 hour with me trying to figure something out. There have been times when I walk in 5 minutes before closing needing a propane tank refilled and they have no problems taking the time to do it. Will always continue to go there as long as things are as they are today.

I just went to Gilbert Block. I needed some kind of stone or paver to make a step into the condo I…read morejust bought. I knew the approximate size, but absolutely nothing else. The woman who helped me was absolutely wonderful. She saw that I was walking with a cane, and she walked out into their yard and took pictures of several possibilities for me. Her suggestion was that I buy four cement blocks and simply place them on my patio for a step, and this suggestion was absolutely perfect. The total cost to me was less than seven dollars. I would say the employees at Gilbert Block spent between half an hour and an hour helping me for what must've been their smallest sale of the day. I have never been more impressed with customer service at any establishment I have ever done business with! The steady stream of customers were all receiving the cheerful service. Thank you Gilbert Block, thank you so much.

My first and only experience with Jackson Lumber was excellent. This was largely due to the…read morecustomer service provided by Al Mazza, whose last day -- just found out today -- is today due to retirement. (Best wishes again, Al!) In the spring, I ordered decking for my condo. Al was very helpful and patient with me as he helped me figure out Exactly what I needed for my order since I had never done this before. Shortly after I placed my original order, I changed my mind and decided to order more boards to do a more thorough deck repai/replacement. Again, Al was very patient, kind, understanding, and helpful to me as he needed to add onto my order. Later in the summer when I discovered that I needed to exchange a few boards that were slightly defective, And replace them in order to finish the project, Al was very accommodating. He arranged for the boards to be picked up, he applied a credit for those boards to my account, and explained very thoroughly and apologetically that the fact that the replacement and additional Boards I needed were on back order and he wasn't exactly sure when they would be in. He said that he would be in touch with me again when he knew more. As promised, al followed up with me a few weeks later to make sure that I still wanted the boards. I told him that I did, and he said that again they were still back ordered but he was hoping to see them within the next few weeks. I just received a phone call from Al today telling me that the boards were in and they can be delivered to my home on Tuesday. Because of my experience, I plan to do more business with this company in the spring for a different project. Al has set the bar for customer service pretty high. I am hopeful that the remaining and/or new employees will provide me with the same stellar customer service that I received from Al Mazza. jp of Fremont, NH

I would stay away from Jackson Lumber of Raymond NH at all costs. I;ve had several dealings with…read morethem over the last 7 years and all of them have been handled extremely poorly. The last incident just occurred last week. Several of my windows were leaking between the panes. I started a warranty claim to get the lower sashes replaced. Worked with a guy "Chris" and he tried to get them but was unsuccessful. The sashes did arrive at my house 2 months later which was fine. Communication was fine at first. I was still working with him and "Chris" said we would try this again after I supplied pictures and measurements. The window replacements I paid for magically showed up in 2 weeks?? I had worked with "Chris from Oct 2019 thru January 2020. After January all communication stopped. Never once did he text or email to let me know that he stopped the claim. He never reached out and after 4 months I contacted him again for the 8th time and he said contact the manufacturer and its not his problem. I was hoping that the poor customer service environment at Jackson would have changed from 7 years ago. Sadly it hasn't. I have had 2 other other interactions with Jackson Lumber in 2012 that ended just as poorly. I'm not sure if the unprofessional atmosphere at this location is company wide or limited to this one location. Go ANYWHERE else.
