Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our building materials delivery service

Qumymai.com currently delivers building materials within a 150-mile radius of our central warehouse, covering major metropolitan areas and surrounding suburbs. We've cultivated a network of distribution points like river stones across a stream, ensuring even remote locations receive their deliveries with minimal delay. For specific delivery zone information, please use our address checker tool on the delivery page.

Our standard delivery timeframe is 2-4 business days for most in-stock items, though like a well-structured foundation, our delivery schedule is built on precision rather than haste. Bulky items, custom orders, or deliveries to remote locations may require additional transit time. We offer premium next-day delivery for urgent projects (available in select areas for an additional fee). Our delivery tracking system provides real-time updates, allowing you to plan your construction timeline with confidence.

Our catalog spans the entire construction spectrum, from the skeletal framework to the finishing touches. We deliver everything from foundation materials (cement, concrete, aggregate), structural components (timber, steel beams, trusses), insulation and drywall, to roofing materials, tiles, paints, and decorative finishes. Like a master architect's portfolio, our selection combines both practical necessities and aesthetic elements, ensuring your project has access to quality materials at every stage of construction.

Yes, we offer same-day delivery for certain products within specific zones—like a lightning bolt to your construction site when time is of the essence. Orders must be placed before 10:00 AM to qualify, and availability depends on your location and the items ordered. Our "Construction Rescue" same-day service comes with a premium fee but can be a project-saver when deadlines loom large. Check eligibility by entering your postal code in our delivery calculator before placing your order.

We handle damage claims with the seriousness of a structural engineer examining a fault line. If you receive damaged materials, document the damage with photographs within 48 hours of delivery and contact our customer service team. Our "Perfect Materials Promise" ensures we'll replace damaged items promptly at no additional cost. For large deliveries, we recommend inspecting materials while our delivery team is present, as they can initiate the replacement process immediately, further streamlining the resolution.

Our delivery charges are calculated with the precision of a master carpenter's measurements, based on a combination of factors: distance from our nearest warehouse, total weight and volume of materials, accessibility of the delivery location, and whether specialized equipment (such as a crane or forklift) is required. Orders over $1,500 qualify for reduced delivery rates, while orders exceeding $3,000 may qualify for free standard delivery within our primary service areas—like a reward for the ambitious builder.

Absolutely! Our "Precision Placement" service allows materials to be delivered to specific locations within your construction site—like a chess master positioning pieces for the perfect strategy. This service must be requested at the time of ordering, and site requirements (access clearance, ground stability, etc.) will be confirmed before delivery. For complex sites, we recommend scheduling a pre-delivery consultation with our logistics team to create a delivery plan that matches your project's workflow and spatial constraints.

Yes, we offer complimentary technical consultations that function like a lighthouse guiding ships through foggy waters. Our team of construction specialists can provide guidance on material selection, quantity estimation, compatibility between products, and application techniques. For larger projects, our "Project Partner" program offers dedicated material advisors who can review your plans and recommend optimal material solutions that balance performance, budget, and sustainability considerations. These consultations are available via phone, video call, or in-person appointments at our main facilities.

We accept a diverse financial portfolio including all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), bank transfers, and approved purchase orders for registered business clients. For large projects, we offer flexible financing options through our building partners—think of it as scaffolding for your budget, providing structured support when needed. Corporate clients can apply for trade accounts with customized payment terms. For security reasons, our delivery personnel cannot accept cash payments at the time of delivery except in pre-arranged circumstances.

Yes, we understand that projects evolve like living organisms, sometimes requiring more or less material than initially estimated. Unused, undamaged, and unopened standard stock items can be returned within 30 days of purchase with the original receipt for a full refund. Custom-ordered or specially fabricated materials are generally non-returnable. We offer a unique "Project Completion" service where we can collect substantial quantities of unused materials directly from your site, saving you the logistical challenge of return transport—like having your own cleanup crew at project completion.

Our Story of Building Bridges

Where construction materials meet reliability, and every delivery lays the foundation for something greater

Qumymai Delivery Fleet

From Humble Beginnings to Construction Partner

Qumymai began not as a business plan scribbled on paper, but as an answer to a question that plagued construction sites across the region: "Where are those materials, and when will they arrive?" In the early days, our founder would drive a single truck loaded with sand and cement through winding roads, learning firsthand that in construction, timing isn't just important—it's everything.

What started as a one-truck operation has blossomed into a sophisticated logistics network serving builders, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts. We've grown not by chasing profit margins, but by understanding the rhythm of construction—the urgent need for concrete when the weather clears, the precise delivery of tiles when the floor is ready, the careful handling of glass and delicate materials that will become someone's window to the world.

Our Foundation: Values That Support Everything We Do

  • Reliability Like Bedrock — We deliver when promised, because we know your schedule depends on ours
  • Quality Without Compromise — Every material we transport meets the highest industry standards
  • Transparent Communication — Clear updates and honest timeframes are the mortar that builds trust
  • Environmental Responsibility — Efficient routes and sustainable practices for a greener tomorrow
