World of Wood, formerly Albuquerque Exotics

I recently got a newsletter from World of Wood off Menaul in Albuquerque concerning a significant expansion of their lumber offering:

Warehouse

Our goal is to provide New Mexico with quality products at a quality price.  To accomplish this we now have our warehouse up and running.  We have had over 35,000 board feet of wood delivered to the warehouse and it is ready to sell.  The warehouse will supply the store with a consistent inventory as well as any bulk orders for our customers.  Due to the size of the store we do not have large quantities on the floor; however, we will be able to supply many species in bulk.  Ask one of our sales staff to help you with any of your needs.
The warehouse will also be available to customers buying large quantities of wood.  The warehouse is not set up for walk in business at this time.  As a result, it will be available by appointment only at this time.  Just talk to Ernie Cano, to set-up an appointment in person or over the phone. He can be reached at: (505)239-1549 or email him at, support@myworldofwood.com. Please specify the species, thickness, and quantity you will need so we can make sure we have it in stock.  In order to help provide better service to our customer’s delivery will also be available for orders over 100 board feet. 
At this time, we still have limited species and grades.  We have been working with the saw mills and shipping companies to help build our inventory.  As time goes on we will be able to provide a more consistent supply of hardwoods for New Mexico.

Bulk pricing We have become a distributor for some of the biggest sawmill groups in the United States.  As a result, our cost have dropped and we are passing that savings on to you.  This is being done in two different ways.  Price drops on wood on the floor.  We are now also offering bulk pricing discounts.  The bulk pricing will work as follows: 0 to 100 board feet (BF) = regular price 100 to 500 board feet (BF) = 20% discount 500 to 1000 board feet (BF) = 25% discount 1000 + board feet (BF) = 30% discount If you are a company and have a state tax number, we would like to get you to set up a tax certificate (NTTC) to help with the cost as well.  In order to do this go into your state account and look to execute a NTTC.  Enter out tax number, 03-305902-00-0.  Bring us a copy of the tax certificate and we will set it up in the system.

Price Drops Many of our domestic species have dropped in price.  The following are examples of some of the price drops:                                               Was       Now Walnut 4/4                          $ 9.75     $ 8.35 Cherry 4/4                           $ 6.00     $ 4.90 Maple 4/4                            $ 7.00     $ 4.80 Cedar 4/4                             $ 5.00     $ 3.90 Hickory 4/4                          $ 4.50     $ 3.80 Alder 4/4                              $ 5.00     $ 1.99 Ambrosia maple 4/4           $ 3.50     $ 2.35 Red Oak 4/4                         $ 5.00     $ 4.05     While Oak 4/4                      $ 6.00     $ 4.65     This is just an example of many of the woods that have dropped in price.  We also have several new exciting grades of many species.  Come in and check out all the new changes.

Pre-Sale Sale     One of our vendors has received a shipment of Cocobolo!  It is going really fast and will not last for very long.  The future of Cocobolo continues to look the same as it has for the past few years, very little to none available.   Starting today 2/2/2017 through Sunday 2/26/2017 we will offer our Pre-Sale Sale. The 4/4 is kiln dried, the 8/4 is air dried only.  I do not get the opportunity to select the boards or make any request for what they send us.  We get what we get.  I will order in a little extra to help give variety for people to choose from.   3" up X 3' up means I am guaranteed the board will be at least 3" wide by 3 feet long. Here is how the sale will work.  You place an order for the amount of board footage you want.  Pay in full for the wood you order.  When the sale ends, we will place the order with our vendor and it will take about 2 weeks to arrive.   When it arrives, you come in and select the boards you want (first come first served).  This vendor has always been good about selection and quality.  If you take less then you ordered I refund you some money.  If you take more then you ordered you give us a little more money (still at the pre-sale price).  I'm also going to add a few other choices of species, see list below. Cocobolo 4/4        3" up X 3' UP      $55/board foot Cocobolo 8/4        3" up X 3' UP      $60/board foot Ziricote 4/4           3" up X 3' UP      $55/board foot Kingwood 4/4      3" up X 3' UP      $55/board foot Place your order by calling the store at 293-9663, or drop by in person.
