I tried emailing the local manager here in San Diego to see if I could get some in charcoal color since all they had was the red. He first told me there would be a shipping charge. I told him that it was not feasible to pay such a shipping charge for just 2 bags. Then he said he could try and get it with his next replenishment shipment so that I wouldn't have to pay the shipping charge. Just when I thought I was going to be able to try Soilmaster Select in charcoal....happy.....I received notice that it's on backorder and he doesn't know when he can get any in.....sad. All in all, he was trying to be very helpful, but of course I couldn't help but feel let-down.
What I don't understand is that the Rancho Cordova facility has it (as stated on their website). So I guess you'll have to be in that area to get some.
On a side note: I was going to go ahead and try the "red" since another member here tried it and it looks pretty darn good, IMO. I planned on topping it off with 3M color quartz black "T" grade anyways. But then I decided to try Turface instead since the place where I got purchased it from was much closer. Maybe once Lesco realizes that many of us are interested in their "charcoal", they'll make it more readily available.
