MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Drop Ship Building Materials (DBM) department is to leverage the buying power of our 1,700 in-network lumber dealers to get better terms than you would going directly to the vendor without negatively affecting your price. VALUE PROPOSITION: Because we are structured differently than most buying groups in that we have minimal overhead, we do not charge adders or service fees. This makes us uniquely positioned to create more value in 5 key categories: lumber & building materials distribution, pressure-treated lumber, truckload drywall and insulation. Better Terms : Our goal is to leverage the collective buying power of our lumber dealers as a buying group within the enterprise to get better terms for you. Examples include PrimeSource, U.S. Lumber, Weyerhaeuser, UFP Retail and BlueLinx. DROP SHIP BUILDING MATERIALS (DBM)
Ease of Billing: Moving building material orders over to us means fewer payables to manage and fewer checks to write. Time is money. You will save time. Keep Your Local Rep or Salesperson: If you have an existing account with a DBM vendor, you will still work with your local vendor rep. The only thing that changes is the bill through.
Forwarded Terms : You will always receive the dating and cash discounts.
No Handling Charge or Service Fees : All DBM vendors are “no-adder” vendors.* This means you will not pay a markup on the product or service fees on the invoice. The price quoted by the vendor will be the price invoiced.
Competitive Pricing is Our Priority: You pay lower costs for product because DBM
programs are negotiated with our dealers in mind. We do not collect large rebates from DBM vendors because we do not want to negatively impact retailer cost.
