Need wood

Can somebody please tell me the best place, with the best prices, to order marine plywood shipped to Arizona (yes, I'm one of "those")? Thanks.

Uhhh, a PocketShip.

Anyways I found some at Noah's in the upper northeast. They didn't pack it very well and am convinced I got inferior wood the second time around but taking my chances.

Thanks everybody!

I was going to suggest Noah's, as well. They gave some solid pricing including shipping and when the weather clears (and my bonus check clears, too :D ) this was on the agenda. Let us know what your experience is on this one!

Call them and make sure they use two pallets instead of balancing everything on one. One of the reasons my shipment was dinged up was the shipper lost it and it got handled about 10 times more than normal. Still they chose the cheap shipping/shipper. When I got my first shipment, the driver said "for all that wood from Niagra Falls to Phoenix, that's a good price!" No extra charge for second time around. Noah's tries. Good luck.
