Central Supplies — Local services in Randolph

Third and final bad experience at this place. First, they under filled my 100 lb propane tank by about 30 lbs. Second, they charged me almost 12 dollars for their 80lb bags of Mortar type-N mix, when they're normally, and supposed to be, priced around 6 dollars a bag. I even took the cashier to the drive thru area to show them exactly which type of mortar I was purchasing. I don't know what they charged me for, but they didn't budge despite the fact I informed them of the proper price. But I needed the mix and chalked it up to the ever-increasing cost of doing business. Went in this morning and was charged 6 dollars per bag, and upon explaining the prior over charge to the cashier (and generally already being frustrated that they wouldn't fill my 100 lb'er of LP because I couldnt drive out of there with it "upright") the cashier told me I "didn't have to be such a jerk" on my way out; I'm assuming he thought I was out of hearing distance. I'm far from a pain in the rear end as a customer as I too run small businesses. So, there really is no excuse for this type of incompetence and rudeness. Between that and their absurdly expensive lumber, and many other products, I highly recommend you stear clear of this establishment. I'm open to the owner or manager making it right for me, and if he does I'd be happy to update this review. A business that takes cares of its customers and 'rights' the 'wrongs', is worth the premium of the more expensive products and materials that you'll find at this place, but so far haven't done so,...

I just bought a house and I go into Central Supplies at least once or twice a week. The staff is incredibly nice and are happy to walk through the aisles with me as I gather the items on my list one by one. This is the total opposite from my experiences in the large retail home improvement stores. I usually have to wander around aimlessly for 30 minutes before I find someone, and even then, they don't know the answers to my questions. The staff at Central Supplies are very knowledgeable and will help you find what you need to complete...

I called and described my 6x12 closed trailer as I needed compost for the garden. They calculated 6 yards (good calculation) so I got the first yard, which took the employee 20 minutes to shovel in, as their front loader bucket was too wide for the trailer opening . Then he said we will charge $100 for shoveling the next load…. I can get the next 5 loads delivered from another local vendor for that cost. I was going to tip him, but a $500 loading...
