When it comes to loads of lumber, one size doesn’t always fit all. You shouldn’t have to pay more for a full load of lumber and deal with the hassle of storing it when all you need is a lift or two.
With Canadian Engineered Wood Products’ Less-Than-Load delivery service, you can order exactly the amount and type of lumber you need whenever you need it, even if you don’t need a full load.
There are plenty of reasons that Less-Than-Load lumber delivery is often the best option for retailers, manufacturers, and other lumber users, but here are the top five reasons it might be the right fit for you.
Experience Better Convenience
Less-Than-Load delivery allows you to order just what you need when you need it, thanks to our network of traders and distribution centres across North America. We keep costs low to you by shipping your lifts with deliveries to other customers on our delivery route. That means we get to ship trucks that are filled to capacity and our customers receive the exact number of lifts they need. It’s win-win.
A More Cost-Effective Option
Sometimes buying in bulk is cheaper than the alternative. But if you don’t need a full load of lumber in the short term, the up-front investment and carrying costs might not be worth the savings you realize by buying a full load. Less-Than-Load delivery gives you a better price and a better return on your investment.
Mix & Match to Get What You Need
Some customers—retailers especially—need to stock a wide variety of materials, and the inventory you might need for one type of lumber isn’t always the same as what you’ll need for another. Less-Than-Load delivery makes it easy to mix and match different types and quantities of lumber, guaranteeing you always have a stock of exactly what you need.
Take Advantage of Market Trends
Our experienced traders stay up-to-date on the current market trends in the lumber industry, and with that knowledge, they’re able to anticipate your needs and recommend lumber that’s selling at a good price. Combined with Less-Than-Load delivery, this market knowledge ensures customers get only what they need at the best possible price.
Manage Your Inventory More Easily
For most retailers or manufacturers, storage space is a finite resource, and stocking a variety of materials in bulk just isn’t an option. Less-Than-Load delivery means you don’t have to take on additional inventory and store it on-site. We store it for you. With our wide network of inventory yards and distribution centres, you can order a mix of lumber in any quantity and receive your order within 24 to 48 hours.
