Russell Building Supply - Auburn, AL

"pulled up at 5:51pm tonight, along with another vehicle and all lights were already off & the sign was off. 2 workers just sitting at the counter. very disappointing and unprofessional."

"Placed an order for delivery of supplies to be delivered this morning… not only was the driver headed in the wrong direction with my order they put into the system incorrectly,(which took the rep 30min and 2holds to locate) but he showed up with HALF of what I paid for. I’m on the line with Josh at the company and that’s when he tells me they sold out just yesterday and the fix is to wait till Friday for another delivery! I the customer who has already paid with the expectation of what I ordered being on the truck in front of me has to wait a few more days for delivery of materials necessary for a job that’s already been started? I’m terribly upset about the incompetency here with knowing what’s in stock or placing what’s been PAID for on hold! I got a couple apologies from Josh who was super pleasant but that doesn’t fix a problem that shouldn’t have been a problem! Awful customer service and lack of communication within the staff!"

"If I could leave zero stars I would. This was my second time here. The first time two female employees were at the desk as you walk in, my husband and I walked past them and were never acknowledged, they had no customers. No one even acknowledged us while we were in the store although when we asked questions to the guy at the middle desk he was very helpful. Upon leaving, the same two women were heads down and didn’t say a word. My husband even mentioned how unfriendly this place seems and how no one said, hello, goodbye, or anything else. Second time I entered by myself. No one acknowledged me, I walked past three employees and no one asked if I needed help. When I got to the desk to check out, one of the items rang up a different price than what my workers paid yesterday so I questioned it. I was told the price was correct, when I asked about a smaller hog wire fence I was told they don’t carry it, however my husband and I saw it in the store on our previous visit. The guy didn’t even ring up my door hinge that was on the counter I had to ask if he got that. The men behind the counter either stared at me or were not helpful. I walk out with a 3x6 hog fence and my door hinge then minutes later an employee is carrying 2 small items to a car for an older gentleman. I sure won’t be back and maybe I’m not their clientele. Lowes and Home Depot are less expensive and a little more friendly."

"This is the best building supply/ home improvement store in Auburn -- bar none. It is the reincarnation of the old Spencer Lumber Co. and at least one of the Spencer family guys is still there -- and he KNOWS his s____. Prices are equal or frequently lower than the Big Box stores. I go out of my way to shop there."

"First time customer. Excellent service at the order desk and in the warehouse. Order picker made sure I got good lumber but that wasn't hard. I didn't see any poor quality in the first place. Place was clean, we'll stocked and very well organized . I'm from Birmingham and wish we had a Russell in the Gardendale area."
