Meek's Lumber

I brought two high school aged boys to help me get lumber today. There was one person in the yard to help and he was probably the most polite of the bunch. He was the only helpful person there to say the least. We had asked if they also had old pallets we could buy. We had to go inside and ask someone there. I explained to the guys to ask for rustic/junky looking wood. So they did. They were told, "Yea, that's called lumber" sarcastically and that it was "over by the railroad ties." for 20 cents on the dollar- as if we should just somehow know where things were. I then go looking and tried to figure out how we even tell them what we want and pay for it. We had ZERO assistance after that point and no one was interested in assisting us what so ever after that point either. I had decided they weren't worth giving our money to and that I'm willing to drive to Springfield. This wasn't my first poor experience with them either. They're incredibly rude and after this last experience I figured it was worth officially reviewing them over. I've spent a TON of money with them over this past year and I refuse to keep giving business to a place that treats myself and my help so poorly.

Only one person to assist customers in the yard. He did a great job but could have used some help.

Had to replace both a clothes dryer and a water heater today. I am NOT a 'handyman' and if it is not a computer I rarely try to work on it. I went to Meeks and talked to Danny and Ron who were both helpful. With Meek's help, I left with all the parts I needed and a few more just in case (extra CPVC elbows and such). I got both jobs done in amazing time considering my abilities and they event let me return the extra parts I did not end up needing. I would have been forever + 5 trips trying to figure this out on my own... I will be back at Meeks for my next project.

The folks may be friendly there (which is why I don't give them one star instead) but they can't keep their inventory straight. Today I made still another wasted trip down there to get basic supplies and they told me they had it. After paying for it, the boys at the dock told me they did not. Do not rely on Meeks in Bolivar to keep the essentials!
