"We Want Your Small Orders".

Once upon a time wholesale warehouse distributors sold mostly whole units in their original mill packs. Small orders were undesirable, typically accepted only as favors - and they were a strain on warehouse resources.

Times have changed. We still buy rail carloads, inter-modal and ocean-going containerloads and trailerloads, and break them down into smaller quantities for dealers - only now, the quantities include courses or even pieces, not only multiple skids. This shift toward smaller orders is not new. It has been building for decades, pushing the burdens of inventory upstream.

Now, in this market more than ever, dealers need to place small orders, and we are positioned to help. At American, we welcome your small orders. For many years, while maintaining high standards of quality for which we are justifiably known, we have invested in better technology and better logistics to meet the evolving just-in-time, right-sized needs of the lumber and building materials industry.

And of course we're here, as always, for your large warehouse orders as well, responding with the professional and personal service you've come to expect from American Lumber.
