Boycott Klumb Lumber Company

Date: May 6, 2004

Point of information...

Klumb's company isn't retail. They are wholesale. They sell to every building materials yard in Hattiesburg - Lowes, Home Depot, Contractors Yard, Economy Supply all of them.

So if you are going to buy lumber, you are going to buy it from Klumb.

Actually, that's not what I heard. I head that the big chains are buying lumber from Canada--thanks to NAFTA--now.

Thanks (seriously) for this information; I will be sending letters off to Lowe's, Home Depot, and others tonight. Surely there are other, less controversial people from whom they can purchase dead trees. Most big companies don't like to associate with people who bring them bad publicity.

That makes it all the easier to mount a boycott. You simply don't buy from the retailers until they buy from another wholesaler.

Thanks for the info, Lanny.

The big chains can buy Canadian lumber much cheaper. It is my understanding that their source is to the north, not to the south.

This is my first visit to the board. I have been reading through the post and just thought that I would confirm that Lowes is getting, at least, most of their lumber (such as 2x4s) from Cananda. I say this because I have purchased a pretty good bit in the last few weeks and it is all marked as Canadian wood.
