I ordered 25 boxes of flooring but they didn't attach them to the pallet good enough and some boxes were broken. FedEx put their own straps on but even then some boxes slid off. I like the vinyl plank flooring that I got but their shipping department needs lessons on how to properly package the product so it makes it to the customer in one piece.

I purchased about 35 boxes of Vesdura vinyl laminate for a house we had in the US. Build Direct sent out free samples promptly, the product came swiftly, undamaged. There were about 3 boards that could not be used out of the 35 boxes. The product was easy to work with, looked really nice (but I wouldn't install in my own home because the color shows dirt too easily), nice to cut. I can't vouch how it holds up because we sold the house but it was a nice product to install.

Don't do it
December 29, 2020

The floors are 2nd hand repurposed floors. Boards don't meet up to connect it's takes days not hours to install. Floor is priced as new then comes re-boxed with no name in it. Take my advice do not buy from them it's nothing but a headache. The people are very nice, helpful but the product itself is horrible.

Good product but bad organisation
April 2, 2021

I have ordered a vinyl plank flooring online with them. I have ordered many construction material on line with other companies so I I'd not request a sample. Well PLEASE ALWAYs ORDER ONE with them. The color of their website are totally wrong so you will get a total different color for sure.
I then tried to get some money back but because the flooring had been installed ( my apartment is in another state where I leave and I did ask my installer to check on the color) they just gave me back $100 out of a $2200 order Plus the extra box I was missing to finish the floor. Well that box took two weeks to arrive (from LA to San Diego) and on top, when FedEx wanted to deliver it build direct had put a wrong address so I had to chase the manager to fix it because only the sender can change the address. The products are good but the logistic was a nightmare. So be careful...

Hi Brigitte
Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. We’re very sorry that you had a bad experience, as customer experience is our top priority.

We have reviewed your case internally, and see that our customer support team has been working with you on a resolution, and we have provided you with compensation for your troubles.

As you noted, we advise all our customers to order samples before buying. The piece of flooring can look slightly different depending on the room’s lighting and furnishings, and photos don’t always capture the intricacies of the wood’s texture.

We have a 30-day money back guarantee, but as you installed the floor before contacting us, we were unable to refund your order.
We hope you consider the matter successfully resolved. We appreciate your business.

Kind regards,

The BuildDirect Team

Crap
October 10, 2019

We order vynil plank flooring from them the delivery went great. Let back up we took are carpet and tile up first which was a huge job my husband son and I. We then had to have the cement sand blasted which costs alot. Then the floor was delivered. My husband worked days off nites weekends putting this vinyl down it took a few. Months so here it is a year ago when this project started as and the floor looks like $#*! water stains everywhere scratches everywhere it was suppose to be scratch proof. Well it's not it looks horrible it's a nightmare it has never looked good since we put it down I'm am sick over this. Very disappointed

Great Experience
January 4, 2019

This company provides superior products at good prices. The shipping is fast. If there are any issues, the customer service is exceptional. I had a very good experience dealing with BuildDirect. I would recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their home. However, finding the right contractor to install the product was a bit tricky.

OK, we've all heard of Lumber Liquidators (LL)... forget all about them. The quality of flooring you will get from BuildDirect (BD) is MUCH better than anything I've ever purchased from LL. They have samples that they will overnight to you for free, and they have VERY affordable flooring (hardwood engineered starting at $1.99!) to gorgeous exotics. Even though you have to pay for shipping at BD, you will probably save that in paying taxes anyway - and their freight rate is quite reasonable (depending where it comes from). Their customer service is awesome as well - I will not hesitate to buy from them again.

We purchased the Vesdura rigid core vinyl -- planks are about 1/2 inch thick, 7 in. Wide and 72 in. Long. The planks have a good variation in color and tone. Most people, including our painter and our cabinet maker thought it was wood. The extra thickness gives the floor a very nice feel. It cleans up very nicely. We have purchased more of this product to finish two more rooms.

I haven't ordered yet, but I will definitely be ordering flooring from BuildDirect for my upcoming project. All of the samples arrived quickly and were actually free (no shipping costs). I was very pleased. The prices are great for the quality of the samples I've seen. And there's so much variety! I'm definitely glad I could narrow it down through samples. I've been working with Olena Kodak in their customer service to put together a quote and she has been amazing! I will update this review after I receive and install the floors, but so far, I'm very pleased with BuildDirect!

Had a great experience buying from builddirect.com Justine was super helpful and attentive checking back on us several times. There was a small problem with a couple of the planks and Justine made sure we were taken care of right away. The flooring is beautiful and is super high quality. The flooring was shipped super fast and arrived without issue. I would highly recommend doing business with builddirect.com

I have been working with Olena who provides excellent customer services. She is patient, thoughtful and very helpful. I told her my situation, and she has tried her best to help me select and order what best suits my need. BuildDirect not only offer competitive price, materials, but also provide wonderful service. Give 5 stars to Olena.

Great customer service and products
March 10, 2021

BuildDirect offers similar prices and products of the local big box hardware stores... but BuildDirect offers a much greater selection of products. I am looking for engineered hardwood floors. BuildDirect has a great selection and even has a product hand made in Tennessee. I'm quite surprised at the availability. The customer service is phenomenal. In fact, the interactions with customer service make me feel confident in the products and the company.

I purchased 2000+ sq ft of flooring from build direct and I could not be happier! Olena went above and beyond to assist me with the sale, and the flooring was delivered quickly to my home. Great prices and so many great flooring options. I highly recommend using build direct for all your home improvement needs!

First of all the product looks beautiful in our kitchen- but what impressed me the most was the customer service. I was guaranteed delivery by a certain date as I had it scheduled for people to install our floors that weekend. After placing my order I received a call from FedEx trying to schedule a delivery for at the earliest a week after I was promised delivery. I called Mila, who processed and helped me with my order and told her what was going on and within 1 hour I had a call back from a Cindy who had arranged a 3rd party carrier to pick up my order and get it delivered to my house before the date I needed it. Everything happened so easily without stress on me. I highly recommend!
