Needful Things — Local services in Durham

A fabulous, family-owned business! Formerly Paradise residents who had to relocate due to the Camp Fire, they've created a unique business that sells online returns from Costco and Home Depot at really low prices. I went in right before the shelter in place order and found ceiling fans, a dishwasher, furniture, and bedding. I called to see if they were still open because we are doing some home repairs while we're shut in, and THEY ARE OPEN! They fall into the same category as Home Depot since they sell essential items. They told me that I can call back and ask for specific things they might have in stock, pay on the phone, and they'll walk it out to my car so I don't have to worry about bringing my kids inside. I already liked them, but this put it over the top and I just really wanted the rest of the world to go to their business and support them. They're just amazing people and frankly, nobody can beat...

I had a meteorite and i wanted a second opinion and i had heard good things about the owner and that he was into rocks and meteorites especially. So i called and made sure the owner was there before i went ...The owner and his wife were both there at the shop and they were both very down to earth people and indeed the owner knew quite a bit about meteorites etc. and i had a great time getting his vote of approval and just listening to him i learned a few things that will come in handy in the near future. The stores pretty neat--it has all kinds of stuff on the shelves and then theres the crystals up frint behind glass and the collection of hotwheels on one wall...theres furniture, huge bean bags, and also things like JB Weld in one corner. A little of almost everything or so it seemed....anyways it was time well...

I wish I could give this place 100 stars. The family that runs this business are the best people ever! I rented a trailer and Martin was extremely kind to do everything he could to make sure I received the right size trailer for my move and at a great price! When we were in Chico and our truck's fuse for the lights went out he graciously gave my Dad an entire new set. Needful Things Rules! You guys are the best. Plus they support Ukraine! I just cannot say enough good things about this business and as someone who grew up in Durham it is great to have them as part of the community and I only hope they continue to stay for many years...
