Buying marble tiles online

Posted by bostonhome (My Page) on

For those of you who purchased your marble tiles online, what were your experiences? Are there any good sites you would recommend? I am searching for 3x6 marble subway tiles and leaning towards a statuary crystal white version. I found this site, but not sure if it's reputable:

I've also heard good things about Builders Depot. How was their shipping...their explanation makes it seem complicated:

RE: Buying marble tiles online

I ordered all of our marble tile from Builder's Depot (going in today, in fact). 3 x 6 honed Carrara subway (200 sq ft), 1 x 1 square honed Carrara mosaic (20 sq ft) and 1 x 1 hex square honed mosaic (100 sq ft).

First I ordered samples, then I placed an order about a month later. I just emailed and gave them my zipcode, and what I wanted to order, and then they gave me some freight estimates (they are in GA, I'm in CA). The freight wasn't too costly and we went for it. We did have to go pick it up at our nearest LTL location - saved a lot of money that way.

There appears to be one main contact there - James. He was very helpful, but I did nudge him a time or two with follow up emails to make sure we stayed on schedule. The order came with 10 sq ft too few (one box) and they fedexed me a new box the next day no charge.

And the tile is absolutely beautiful! I hope to share pictures when it is in
