Flatbed p/u- Bypass the scale house and head towards the black smokestack. Shipping office is the only wooden building. Easy loading, and they let you back into one of the buildings with ladders and a safety cable to tarp. Scale your load on the way out. There's a sweet husky in the scale house. She's harmless and super friendly.

Great people, great products, and they are a pleasure to work with! Regarding Kate Gaudette's review. Robbins is a wholesale manufacturer. They can not, and will not sell to the general public. That being said, they have a really large distribution network, and their products can be found on the shelves at many lumber yards throughout Maine, and the rest of New England.

Beware! The staff/ owner is SO RUDE! We ordered siding from another company who outsourced to Robbins, called for a status update and were treated poorly. Basically were told "hope it works out" in reference to when our siding would be ready for pick up and the person we spoke with was "not comfortable" with telling us when our order would be ready. My husband was so shocked about the tone of voice and manner he was spoken to in. It is really too bad because we are at the beginning of a home build & it would have been very convenient to use this company directly. Customer service is #1 in my opinion
