CJ Q&A
Mary Lynn -- We get this question often... someone looking for a very specific type or size of door. Because so many doors (thousands) rotate through our inventory on a regular basis and we currently lack an inventory tracking system, it is really difficult for us to zero in on ones with certain specifications. We know that being able to "zero in" would be of great value and we're working to make that option a reality. For the time being however, the best option is to come to the store and we'll do our best to help you find the door you're looking for. -- Cozmo
CJ mistakenly accepted a pallet of non-organic garden products and although they’re brand new we can’t sell them. That would make our blood flow backwards. So instead we’d like to find a business that could use the products and give them away. The pallet consist of about ten (10) various chemical-based products such as Bug Beater. Please call Mike Gable at 412-841-2343 if you’re interested.
Yes. Please do.
Hi Becky. We don't really ever get swingset swings... the kind one person sits on. But we do, on occassion, get porch swings. Usually they're made out of wood. In fact, we have one in the store now, or at least we did as of yesterday (May 22, 2008) when I was in taking pictures for this very Blast. Best of luck. -- Cozmo
Hank -- You are so right and we have made that correction on our website. Thanks for letting us know. -- Cozmo
We are considering using it to support a pilot deconstruction project and should know within the next few weeks if this will be the case. If so... we'll be sure to tell you all about it. --Cozmo
We are in the process of refining our automated email system to make it more manageable. Since launching our newly revised website, we're receiving hundreds of emails weekly. Most are from folks who are simply signing up for the Blast and we're figuring out how to weed those out so we can focus on the "real" emails. Rest assured... our goal is to answer every email and to do so within one week of receiving them. --- Cozmo
Hi Jody. This is a good question and one we get often. While it seems like it would make sense for us to do so, we steer clear of making any contractor recommendations. Having said that however... we have talked about the idea of a community-based section of our website where folks could post business information, projects desired and highlights of projects completed. It is likely that something along these lines will develop and we'll use the e-Blast to share any relevant news. -- Cozmo
Hi Karen. We're dreaming of the day when we can notify customers that an item they've wished for has come in, but alas we can't do it yet. We do our best to keep a log of what people ask for and then include said items in the weekly e-Blast if they do in fact come in. So the best thing to do is to sign up for our e-Blast or watch our website regularly. In general, new inventory arrivals are posted every Friday.
In regards to your second question... we don't really have a membership program, but rather only a membership button on our website. Although we're in the process of considering a membership program, our store will always and forever be, open to the public... member or not. Hope this helps. -- Cozmo
Hi Velma... As of right now there is only one "Construction Junction", BUT lucky for you... there are many many nonprofit and for profit reuse centers across the country that are just like CJ. We know, we've been to many of them. The Building Materials Reuse Association has a great national directory that we always refer people to. On their site you'll find 17 reuse centers in South Carolina, 55 in North Carolina and 180 in California! Best of luck to you. -- Cozmo
