Free Shipping at Grizzly?
I want to buy a switch for my router table from Grizzly. I'm wondering if they ever offer free shipping specials/deals. The switch is 13 bucks and shipping is only 8 bucks so it's not really a big deal. I just figured since I'm not in a real big hurry to get the switch yet I'd wait and see if they have any holiday free shipping specials for small items like that. Anybody ever known them to offer free shipping codes like Rockler and Woodcraft, etc. do every now and then? It's not a killer for me to pay the 20 bucks for the item and shipping but I figure why spend almost double the price of the item if you can get around it via free shipping.
More? I never need more....
Heck yes, I can always find more stuff. I'll run out of funds before I quit finding stuff, no surprise. You guys are right, I've sold some stuff on Ebay and cannot believe what it costs to ship something. In today's world of competitive prices and free shipping offers, I do my best to scour the world for free shipping on my purchase if possible. In the end, when it comes time to pull the trigger and if I haven't found a free shipping coupon for Grizzly, I will likely do just that Matt. I'll fill up my cart with an optimum blend of items designed to make the most of shipping cost while preserving my bank accounts black status.
Overall, I see no reason why Grizzly's shipping prices are unfair. They are competitive with other shipping prices I see. In fact, Rockler uses the same shipping methodology. I buy A LOT of stuff off Amazon. Mainly because I can get free shipping on lots of stuff. Sometimes though, the free shipping idea breaks down because Amazon gets items from third parties as well. Recently I've been using their Prime free trial. Free shipping on a bunch of items, although not enough items to make me want to foot the $75/yr fee. My free trial is up on the 25th, though, I better open another window and order some more!
