What region are you located? I am in the south and my lumberyard has just refused to even call their distributor anymore. They just turn the customer to another product, because of the delay. Also trex is then eating that discount too. So lower margins.

True they do have lower margins for sure. I work directly with a distributor in the Houston area and we install turnkey solutions so my customers never usually are involved in the ordering process.
