Source for Zip R9 Sheathing?

| Posted in General Questions on
I am in northeastern MA and I am able to order Zip R6 sheathing (it arrives in about 4 days). However my local suppliers don’t provide Zip R9 which is a thicker version with a total thickness of 1 15/16″.
Looking online I see a lumber store in Bethel VT carries it but this is over 2 hours away by car. Anyone know other options? I did find one Home Depot that could carry it but it was $40 more per sheet than the Zip R6 and this seems a bit too much.

Work backwards. Find the Huber rep for your area. Ask them if there are distributors you should talk to or if they are aware of stocking dealers.
This is how I found out that Builders First Source had the R6 on the ground when I needed it after it went out of stock in normal channels.
thanks, will do!
Nobody around me (northern IN) stocked the R9 so I had to special order it and it took a month to arrive. Be sure to shop it. Prices varied by as much as $10/sheet between the different suppliers that could get it.
