C.L. Smith & Company Reviews

Great resource for rigid packaging with a knowledgeable and friendly staff stocking a wide variety of offerings!

Very narrow streets just to get to the place. Very very tight driveway and small yard. Their equipment, trailers, pallets make for very difficult maneuvering to line up to back into the building to hit the docks.

Great family business focusing on top notch Customer Care service and superior quality products. Highly recommend.

I have worked with CL SMITH for 5 years and they have been a pleasure to work with.

Not bad 11am Appointment out in 45 min easy in and out

First thing a driver needs to understand is that it's a stone's throw away from downtown St. Louis, it's going to be tight. (Not the businesses fault). Second is prepare for a challenge because of the limited space, those concepts go hand in hand.

The people are helpful. I was unloaded in a timely manner. And I absolutely love a challenge. Granted, I wouldn't want a dedicated route to and from here, but the experience was a positive one. Thank you.

Nice people, tough backing, management should invest in repainting yellow lines at docks.

Ive purchased from CL Smith for many years, never had any issues. They process and ship my order in a timely manner. The staff is pleasant to work with.

Please avoid. Takes forever and very tight parking. Never have i came close to hitting a building and i swear i was a sneeze away from taking out both in and out entrance wall corners

Does not care about the safety of the general public. Their driver nearly t-boned myself and my partner, when we called to report this the manager or whoever gave us the run around. My advice steer clear of their company vehicles because the drivers have no problems putting you in danger and management doesn't care.

CL Smith makes my packaging needs a breeze! Very easy to work with, job are complete on time and correct!

The company that I represent is one of C.L. Smith's suppliers; we're in their Lyons Blow Molding (St. Louis) plants on a weekly basis making sure that their small parts inventories for maintenance are properly stocked and organized. During the course of my career, I've had the privilege of seeing many manufacturing operations up close and I must say that the Lyons Blow Molding operation is one of the best I've seen. The facility is clean and bright, and the personnel with whom we interact are all extremely friendly, upbeat, and always professional--which tells me it's a great place to work. As a result, I truly feel like we have a strong partnership with this company.

Wonderful resource for all your packaging needs. Excellent service and follow through.

CL Smith is a pleasure to work with. They are one of my top 5 suppliers! They have top notch sales people who respond in a timely manner. The staff of CL Smith is always going above and beyond. Thanks for such a great partnership!

This is an industrial site and is very old. It can be very slow to get things done and is a hazard to back into (having to back across a crossroad blindly).

I work for the company behind CL Smith. It is a constant nuisance that their trucks block our drive so that our trucks cant get in and out. Have called them multiple time but they do nothing to prevent it from happening! If you are a driver... please use your brain and don't block someone elses drive!!!

They found my prescription sunglasses in the loading/receiving bay and I was able to retrieve them. That makes them #1 in my book! Good, friendly, and hardworking people!

Great supply store, my company has been using CL for many years and their product and service is above par. Highly recommended

Tight yes but not like described to where one should come to close to hitting anything. Seems to me the guy doesn't know how to drive.
I arrived at 8 for my appointment and was out before 10 although there was some misunderstanding because of what my paperwork said. That took about 20 min to get straightened out and then I was given a dock.
Seems people just want to butch about something.

Still have the sign "SHIPPING AND RECEIVING" pointing at the direction for the docks which you're not actually using, and it's a nightmare to turn around if you follow the sigh.
The actual docks that you use , the driver have to be really careful parking directly from the street cause nobody cares to slow down (I know you can't be in charge of the traffic)

Bring your driving skills. People are nice, but layout is awful. I will never come back
