Tri-State Stone & Building Supply, Inc.
Basic Information ~ Rules ~ Policies
Welcome to Tri-State Stone & Building Supply, Inc. We are a
stone quarry and building supply dealer catering primarily to
contractors. As always, we welcome those who are not affiliated with
the construction industry, but please understand the following:
- Our yard is a very busy place. Please yield the right of way to
trucks, loaders and forklifts. Please do not block trucks, machinery or
material. If you are unsure where to park, please as for assistance.
Never park on or block the scale.
- This is an industrial area with significant safety issues. Never
assume that a truck or machine can see you or know what you are trying
to do. You may be required to wait in a designated area while certain
operations are conducted. Please be cooperative.
- Please have an idea of the material you want, its application and
installation procedures. There are many resources available to you in
publication and on the internet. We cannot give more than very basic
information. Estimates concerning material quantities are exactly that
– estimates – and we cannot be held to them. We cannot look at plans,
help in design or address your specific problem. We have lists of
contractors but do not make recommendations. Follow basic procedures
such as checking references and getting more than one estimate when
choosing your contractor.
- If your contractor has sent you here to pick out material, they
should accompany you – that is part of the price you are paying them
for their service. We cannot escort you around the property showing you
various products.
- Material that is on pallets is sold by the full pallet only.
Pallets must be loaded as they come. Pallets cannot be opened and
loaded on site, nor can we leave any material "outside the gate" for
pickup when we are closed. We are basically self-service, but can give
you assistance in loading your vehicle as time and conditions permit.
You may have to wait for this help. We cannot pick out material and
load it for you.
- Except for mulch and topsoil, bulk materials are sold by weight.
If you load without getting your empty weight, you will have to unload
and start over.
- Remember that stone is a product of nature – variations in color,
spotting and streaking are normal and should be expected. All material
is sold as is. There are no returns or refunds ever – this is an
industry standard. Please inspect all material before leaving the
property.
- We accept payment in cash, check (with approval from Telecheck)
and credit card (Amex, Visa, MasterCard). For your security, we do not
keep credit card numbers on file or keep open checks. If your check is
refused by Telecheck, you need to contact them to resolve the matter.
For deliveries, payment by credit card is generally the most efficient
course to take.
- Delivery lead time is generally 1 –2 days. In order to maintain
this schedule and deliver to everyone promptly, we must deliver in the
most efficient manner for us. We cannot give specific times or narrow
time windows – often, morning or afternoon is the best we can do, and
even that can change given issues beyond our control such as traffic,
weather and breakdowns. We must have a contact phone number for time of
delivery.
- We have contractor prices only ~ for everyone. Our level of
service is commensurate with this pricing policy. We cannot give a high
level of personal service and maintain this one price policy.
- While we have attempted to address most issues, this is not an
all-inclusive list.
