I like free shipping AND association/conference discounts.
I also try to by my equipment from those suppliers
who contribute to the associations I belong, through
donated door prozes, etc.

How does the quality of their boxes compare to brushy mountain or miller bee supply?

Although I wont unpack the skid until I get it in my shop, the top row of boxes, both material and workmanship look great.

Kelley is about $2 cheaper per box for the quantity I'm going to order, but I've never bought from them before.

Sorry.  I don't understand your question.

  If you order 50 bulk boxes they come all at once on a pallet, truck freight.

thats very interesting and a very good deal if they pay truck frieght--compared to mann lake free shiping -they wont pay truck frieght-only ups ground-so to ship it ups it would take many-many boxes-or they will say sory we dont do free shiping for frieght-but for kelley i dont qualify for free anything -im in the wrong shiping zone- :lol:--enjoy it wil it lasts-- :lol:--RDY-B

I was just on the Brushy Mountain site and see that they have free shipping East of the MIssissippi for orders over $100. It says there are some restrictions. I am putting in an order this weekend.

danno, If you look at a map, you'll see that only part of Minnesota is west of the Mississippi. I do actually live West of the Mississippi, but only one mile. Soooo, I will either get free shipping to my house or have the stuff shipped to a friends house on the other side of the river. Either way I will get free shipping. Actually you know, part of Minnesota isn't East or West of the Mississippi. Figure that one out.

>>>Actually you know, part of Minnesota isn't East or West of the Mississippi. Figure that one out.<<<

It's also the only state where a normal person can jump across the Mississippi river. I've done it.

And to you other wiseguys, Yes, I'm normal in some ways.

There are no normal people in Minnesota. I've also jumped across the Mississippi and walked across. February is a better time for the walk though. It's about 100yds across the river here.
Not to change the subject but, I noticed in the December Bee Culture that Brushy Mountain is advertising free shipping Dec. 1 through Dec. 19

 Danno, got my boxes from Kelley's at the house. They look great and the fit is good also. Don't know how they make the hand holds but have no blow out on any of them. I can't say that about some of the other suppliers. Gonna be awhile to get this many banged together.

My order arrived today.  I only picked up 10 mediums, a sundance II and a pair of medium frame feeders. The boxes are pretty good quality. The fingers are not as tight as brushy's, but there are no gaps.
