About our company
What does your company do exactly?
US Surface Warehouse (USSW) is a private, vertically integrated company which manufactures,
markets and distributes solid-surface sheet materials, solid surface sinks and lavatory bowls, as well as stainless steel sinks.
Where are your warehouses?
We have warehouses in Seattle, WA, Oakland, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Salt Lake City, UT, Dallas,
TX, Nashville, TN, Reading, PA and Chicago, IL.
We’ve never heard of LivingStone. Why not?
You have probably never heard of LivingStone because, until recently,
we have relied mostly on word-of-mouth to grow our business.
However, the quality of our products and low prices has resulted in rapid growth.
Presently, we are the fourth largest supplier of solid surface in the United States.
LivingStone is offered for sale at Costco.com.
About pricing and delivery of sheets
Do your prices include shipping?
Yes, our prices are delivered to your door. There are no hidden fees or additional charges.
How do I get a lower price than what is offered on your price list?
If you will be ordering more than 40 sheets at a time,
we will provide you a quote regardless of where the materials are being utilized.
If we can ship materials directly from our factory to your facility, greater savings are available.
How do you offer such low prices without sacrificing quality?
First, we are vertically integrated. That means we not only manufacture LivingStone,
but market it and distribute it, too. So no agents or middlemen tack on their costs.
Second, we only make the colors that move. Without dozens of slow-sellers to manufacture and inventory,
our cost of doing business is lower. Finally, our Korean plant is one of the newest,
most technically advanced facilities in the world. In other words, it’s super efficient.
Do you stock every color in every warehouse?
Yes. We also stock every kitchen sink, vanity bowl, and adhesive we offer in every one of our warehouses.
What is your lead time?
To about 90% of the U.S., if you place an order before noon, your shipment will be delivered the next business day.
In the remaining areas, orders placed before noon will be delivered in two business days.
