Does anyone know if Lee's Wood Products in VA is closed, or if something has happened to them?  I have been trying to reach out to them for weeks by leaving voicemail messages and sending emails, with no response.  I have even sent a text message to Darren Robertson's personal cell phone and gotten no response.  I am worried that something is wrong.  Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Hi Mark,

Last order we received from them was on 6/14.  We have not reached out to them since but at that point, all was fine.

Hi Mark,

I know they closed the week of July 4th

I received products from them the week before the July 4th break and had a couple of shadowboxes come in yesterday that they shipped out on Monday

Are you using leeswood@embarqmail.com ? I usually get a reply the same day from Darren

Thank you for all the replies!  I understand that they are still in business and operating, which is a great thing because they have wonderful quality products. 

A couple people have reached out to Darren and he has indicated that he will contact me soon. 

Thanks again.

Mark,

They don't / will not  answer their phones.  Just email your orders/questions to leeswood@embargmail.com .

We just paid an order they fulfilled last month.

The woodworking wholesalers are becoming fewer and fewer because there are more and more direct-to-consumer award-related woodshops that have come to the surface.  Lee's is still going strong, they just don't often answer the phone these days.  That's a sign they are busy or short staffed.  It's likely a combination of both.  I'm certainly glad I've taken this type of thing in-house.  The convenience is astounding.
