SUPPLIERS OFFERING FREE SHIPPING

[mooseman]

Hey gang
I recently posted about a supplier that I feel ripped me off big time on shipping charges. the history is here if you are interested   http://www.theshirtboard.com/index.php/topic,5032.msg56040.html#msg56040

Today reading a post by Frog I discovered these guys http://acescreensupply.com/index.php who offer free shipping on most supplies for orders of $250.00 or more.
Can anyone else offer some supply sources that offer similar shipping considerations especially to us smaller guys maybe we can get a list started and consolodate some buying power?

Great topic.

Although the brands they carry are limited, silkscreeningsupplies.com does free shipping on supply orders over $100. I get some of my chemicals and am going to start getting discharge/water based ink through them. The only down side is they're on the west coast and I'm on the east, so I guess I'll just have to sacrifice getting the package quickly for the extra savings on freight.

As long as I can remember, my local suppliers, Tubelite(since gone), Midwest, and Denco, offered either local delivery or shipping with a minimum order.
Two others, Screen Printers Resource and Dynamic, I am unsure of.

Okay, looking back on an old post, apparently my new guys, Dynamic have a reasonable $100 minimum.

For suppliers offering free shipping they are damned if they do and damned if they do not....Suppliers that offer free shipping are not usually competitive on larger orders as they have built in some margin to cover the free shipping on smaller qualifying orders....The best thing to do is find a supplier that you like and offers the level of service you require and work with them.....

The moral of the story is that nothing is life is free....well almost nothing....

I agree.  We at Xenon do offer free shipping on orders of 100 gallons (mix and match).  However as to service we carry an unconditional 30 day 100% money back guarantee for anything you purchase from us.  As we are the manufacturer of all of our "wet" products, and only carry the best of the best in our "dry" products we can do this.

did you mean 100 gallons?

We offer free shipping on film orders of $50 or more

Yes.  Let's say you get a drum of Plastiwash, you could then add 5 5gallon pails of emulsion, 1 5gallon pail of Spotbuster, and 3 5 gallon pails of White ink  This would total 100 gallons and shipping would be on us.  Any combination of quantities that add up to 100 gallons is accepted.
