I agree, renting a truck from the big box stores and loading it up is beyond a pain in the can, and has to border on insanity in NYC. I've ordered flooring from ifloor and was happy, a lumber company like this would be a good option for someone like me. Buying from the smaller local guys is usually the best option, they provide the best service and carry better lumber than the big box stores, but if I was doing something in a more metro area, this looks like a very nice option. The only issue is, I like to check the wood before I purchase it, and I imagine returning it would be a hassle.
