Hey epbro, thanks for checking.
Normally we don't know exactly what is going on sale until almost the last day. Sometimes Jim will come on here and let everyone know a few days to a week in advance, but not always.
So like was suggested, if you're looking for some stuff from us, and especially if you have specific needs, best to give a quick call and talk to someone about it.
For parts prices they will ask Jim if he's got any previews to put out for you, and on shipping prices they can work with you directly to see what can work.
In fact, for shipping I'd say call every time. I hate to put customers through extra hoops, but I don't completely trust the website yet. It's pretty easy to use of course, but it's also too often wrong on shipping. And it does not seem (or didn't used to anyway) to take USPS prices into account as well.
While the UPS pricing is fairly consistent and accurate in general, USPS and truck shipments can benefit from a phone call.
Yeah, I know. Kind of defeats the purpose of using a website it seems. But not really. I like to think that we still have time to talk to each other now and then to clear things up.
But I'm just an old dinosaur that, while liking the whole internet purchase thing, still prefers to talk ordering on the phone to a human.
Good luck. But give a call and let them know your concerns and needs.
Thanks again.
Paul
