Instead of looking and inspecting BEFORE I buy I have made an on-line purchase of Menard's York Hotel Royale. I am a little bit concerned about the shipping of such a large and relatively delicate building. But the design and footprint are MADE for my layout.
I am hoping to here GOOD stories from some of you about your Menards arrivals.
It will be a nice addition to my "downtown"....

My shipments from Menards, which has included 2 buildings, are always packed well. But it is a crap shoot when that package hits the UPS conveyors with thousands of other packages smashing away.

I have received 4 buildings from Menards. They have all been secured solidly in their plastic shipping bubble. The first 3 arrived in perfect condition. The 4th, Wally's Service Station, arrived Saturday, with the rotating sign broken off at the roof line. I will contact Menards tomorrow. I don't think you need to worry though, they seem to have the packaging figured out, and if something does happen, their customer service receives good reports from this forum.

I have 6 Menard's buildings and all but one arrived in excellent condition. The one that did not had a big dent on the box, big enought that no amount of padding would have protected. It clearly was the shipper's problem. It took all of maybe 5 minutes with Menard's to get a replacement in the works.
Thanks,

No matter what Menard's does it can be instantly undone by one guy, a fork lift and a moment of bad judgment. All my item's from them arrived fine......but not every package has done so....crap shoot.
I have gotten 8 buildings so far but all mine have been delivered to the store for pick up saving me the torture of home delivery......Paul
Michael,
I believe the people on this forum would appreciate hearing from you after you receive your package. Please tell us how it was packed. Tell us about the quality of the structure.
I have 12 Menards buildings, all were packed really well, no problems! I order with complete confidence that if something is wrong Menards will make it right! Plus I can always get Dad to go down there! LOL

Certainly happy to do this. I will, of course, include pictures of it on my layout.
