This review is for both South Cypress tile and the product we bought. We bought a hard to find,…read more2X4 inch thin glass tile color of Sage Mosaic. These are very pretty tiles, and while not cheap are sold at a reasonable rate via South Cypress. South Cypress does include a few extra sheets in each batch sold as they do crack sometimes in shipping, but for the most part shipping is trouble free. Incidentally, If you are installing these thin glass tiles, would highly recommend you work with a contractor that has specific and heavy experience cutting glass tile, as they are not all created equal. We had a major problem in the middle of our project where we ran low on tile. I paid over $185 to have the extra tile expedite shipped next day Fed Ex priority overnight to complete the job. Unfortunately, the shipping company South Cypress uses got the wrong address and sent it to another city, delaying my project for a day and costing me additional non-work labor hours. While that was inconvenient, I have to credit South Cypress for going the extra mile on trying to make up for that costly snafu. They refunded the rush shipping charge and gave me that extra box of tile free of charge for the trouble. Big credit to Michael Clark, customer service, for the extra follow up and high level of communication and effort. That deserves high praise - it's nice to see an organization so committed to service that they would do that without even asking. For that reason, I recommend South Cypress and will definitely order product from them again for other projects in the future.

They can ship tile anywhere and truly go the extra mile to ensure a satisfied customer. When the manufacturer had delays they would contact us immediately and give us updated information and even the option to cancel our order if necessary. I told them that we will use them when we build our dream home one day no matter where it is. Highly recommend! Just wish I could meet them in person one day!

It appears that when demos happen in B'ham, material goes right into the waste stream instead of being sorted to donate to the ReStore. In addition, the store is dark and the staff gloomy.

They have almost everything here from flooring to doors to paint to handsoap. I bought several of their transition strips for flooring. Only $1.00....a fraction of the cost at other places I looked at like Home Depot (about $11-19) and Southeastern Salvage ($5.00). I was overwhelmed in some parts. The staple and nail selection! So many options for sizes....or to me....so many ways for me to buy the WRONG size!! I think this store is an "all sales final" place too. Even more nerve wrecking..... I've encountered so many associates here, and they have all been super friendly and helpful. One guy was helping my dad and I move pipes into our truck. My dad was very rude to him, and he kept his composure the whole time! If you need something (other than like food)...go ahead and come here and you'll probably find it.
