Prices and Product Range
Extra Building Materials Inc has a mixed bag when it comes to prices and product range. While some customers have found great deals on certain items, others have noted that prices can be higher than those at larger stores like Home Depot. The store appears to have a large selection of products, including used and new baseboards, doors, and vanities, but the stock can be disorganized, making it difficult to find what you're looking for.
Service and Online Presence
The service at Extra Building Materials Inc can be hit or miss. Some customers have reported poor service, including long lines and unhelpful staff, while others have praised the store's employees for being friendly and helpful. The store's online presence is virtually non-existent, which can make it difficult to research products and prices before making a purchase.
Quality and Selection
The quality of the products at Extra Building Materials Inc seems to be generally good, with some customers reporting finding high-quality items at affordable prices. The store's selection is vast, but can be overwhelming, and some customers have reported having to search extensively to find what they need.
Return Policy and Communication
There have been some issues with return policies and communication at Extra Building Materials Inc. One customer reported being told that there would be no restocking fee for returns, only to be told later that there would be a fee after all. Another customer reported being told that a return would be accepted, only to be reneged on when the store decided not to honor the return.
Organisation and Navigation
The store is described as being chaotic and disorganized, making it difficult to find what you're looking for. This can be frustrating for customers who are looking for a specific product or trying to navigate the store.
