YES

Can you self-select or is it by appointment?

THEY WILL HELP YOU PICK THROUGH ENTIRE PILES TO GET THE BOARDS YOU WANT.

Will they deliver?

I BELIEVE SO, YES BUT HAVE NEVER USED THAT OPTION MYSELF.

Do they have online ordering?

I DONT KNOW

Are prices displayed at the yard?

PRICES ARE SOMETIME A BIT DIFFICULT TO GET. ASSESSING WHAT YOU MIGHT BE PAYING BEFORE IT IS ALL TOTALLED UP HAS BEEN DIFFICULT FOR ME EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN

Do they sell domestic hardwoods?

YES

Do they sell other hardwoods?

YES

Do they sell softwoods?

YES

Do they sell manufactured boards?

NOT SURE

Do they sell turning blanks?

I DONT THINK SO

Are they a one-man-band or a small, medium or large yard?

MEDIUM TO LARGE

Will they cut to length to fit in your vehicle?

YES

Do you have any comments?

THE GUYS ON THE YARD ARE *REALLY* HELPFUL. ONCE THEY PULL OUT A STACK OF THE RIGHT MATERIAL WITH THE FORKLIFTS, THEY'LL SORT THROUGH ENTIRE STACKS TO GET JUST THE BOARDS YOU NEED, MEASURING WITH YOU AND MAKING SUGGESTIONS AS YOU GO. NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THEM.

I HAVE HAD SOME "FUN" AT THE PAYMENT COUNTER WHERE THE BLOKE GIVES "FUNNY" PRICES AS A "JOKE".
HAHA.
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE PRICE PER CUBE AND VERIFY IT FOR YOURSELF IF IT SEEMS IFFY.

I'm just updating this as since it's been taken over by Lavers I've found hymor to be a greatly improved experience as an account holder. That dodgy counter business they seemed to love has disappeared with many of the old faces. Now the prices seem better than anywhere and they have adopted a much easier way and helpful manner that was missing as hymor. They want to sell you timber. Interesting how a new brush tends to sweep clean but it really needed a rid out.
