There are reputable dealers of most anything out there............
You might want to include where "there" is for you.
thanks.
I've bought from them but doubt I'd do it again. The Ipe was fine as was the service but I don't think the cost savings worked out for me. The material, hundreds of boards arrived in a box truch thta we had to unload by hand. Once it was unloaed to the driveway we had to carry it around to the back of the house by hand. Ipe is heavy and after you've lifted and carried each board several times it gets even heavier. By the time I covered the labor to move and stack it all the savings were gone. My local supplier would have put it where I wanted and saved me many hours of labor and close to a day in time.
