A couple of reps from Mann Lake visited our club meeting in January and mentioned the free shipping offer had been extended for three months. I just called to be sure, and they are indeed ending the offer on March 30th.
Just wanted to get this out there for anyone that might need to put an order together. Don't wait!
I did not think to ask if they planned to roll their price increases back since they coincided with the shipping offer, but I bet I can guess the answer.....
they shure spend a lot on catalogs -the new cat says free shipping --now they will send out a spring cat
without the shipping--i have gotten several cats from them thru-out the year-seams to me spring and fall
with the main at the years start-seams like that in its self is a great cost that someone has to endure
wonder how they do that- :? RDY-B
even with the higher prices i found them to be cheaper with the free shipping for me. ordering from across the country made the shipping so high that my total would have been much higher than Mann Lake.
If they end the free shipping, are we going to get catalogs with the old lower prices?
I just got my Spring Catalog which says free shipping on most orders over $100. I don't remember when the next catalog usually comes out from them, but I agree that they must spend a fortune on printing and postage for all those catalogs and someone has to pay for it. Translation we are paying for it one way or the other.

On the west coast most of the Mann Lake orders are shipped from their Chico, Ca outlet. I can buy stuff from Mann Lake and get it cheaper than I can get the same stuff (also made by Mann lake as they are listed as an authorized Mann Lake dealer) from my local supplier 20 miles away.
me too. i buy from Ruhl Bee Supply when i need something right away. they carry Mann Lake stuff, but with the store mark up, it's cheaper to buy from the company even when i do pay shipping. better when they have this free shipping offer. i got a lot of stuff from the last catalog.
