Hello, Don't Tread on Me, that is a great question! When comparing the same exact products with the same quality and features, etc.... YBC is competitive! YBC always stocks high quality products so when comparing price please make use that you are comparing the quality and features as well. There are many different grades & species of lumber & treated lumber plus there are many different grades & species on 4x8 panel products as well just to name a few products For more information on the quality and features on the item(s) you are looking to purchase one of the YBC Sales Professionals at our Williamsport location can give you the product & quality details for you to compare with other retailers in the market place.
Big box stores sale in volume and can therfore pass lower prices on to the consumer. Your smaller (Hometown stores) don't really have that option. Most of your smaller stores have attendants that are more personable with customers, one may even know the person they are dealing with. I do not work there but this is my opinion from visits to different stores over the years.
