Obtaining the best wood prices is rather an art and a bit of a procedure. There is a bit of an instinct involved as well. Here are a few items that you can consider trying when you are trying to get the best wood prices from the wood retailers around you.
The first thing to do is actually shop around. It is a good idea to take a look on the web and as you drive about in order to find yourself a quantity of wood companies that are in your neighborhood. The more you can find the more opportunity you have of getting good wood prices. Don't go into all of them at this time. Instead take note of their own phone numbers and give each of them a phone call. Determine whether they stock the kind of wood that you would like as well as what their prices are for that specific wood. When you are speaking with them see if you can determine if their own prices are negotiable for bulk purchases. I am of course presuming that you are likely to be buying a great deal of timber all at once because it is usually less expensive this way.
Once you have figured out who the cheapest and most likely to negotiate are it is time to go take a look at the quality of wood that they have in stock. The better quality the wood is the much more you have to be willing to pay for the wood. Don't get swindled into paying more for lower quality wood.
After you have decided who you want to get the timber from it is time to see if you can negotiate some lower wood prices for you. You will need to speak to the person in charge of the wood yard. Talking with the foreman or one of the labourers certainly will not do you any good because they won't have the authority to provide you with a discount. You need to get hold of the owner or at the very least the manager of the wood yard. Be sure you have a determined air about yourself. Enter into some sort of negotiating mode. You are the customer and you are always right would be the appropriate attitude. Do not be impolite however, you want the supervisor or owner to want to you to come back and buy much more wood, or else they are not likely to be prepared to provide you with a discount. Also do not push way too hard. The timber yard has to make a profit on the purchase of the wood as well so that they cannot drop their own costs too low.
You'll be able to get apparently set wood prices to drop, you just have to know who to speak with and the way to talk to them to get what you would like. The more you do it the easier it'll get to get the owners of timber yards to decrease their prices for you. You must be careful not to misuse this particular talent though since you may turn out to be an unwanted customer if you do that.
