Post by: GSF on November 17, 2013, 08:41:08 AM
Fixing to order 342 medium frames. I know Mann Lakes has free shipping and some folks has it during a certain time frame. Who has what when?

I stay with Mann Lake. They have free shipping year around and there prices usually match their competitors prices before you add the shipping costs.

I buy all my sugar from Mann Lake, you can't beat free shipping when ordering a few hounded pounds.  I think its free for any order over $100.00.

Mannlake sugar is 19.00 a 50lb bag (not a bad price) but is one of the items that does not qualify for the free shipping.   Sams club has it for about the same price.    9 something a 25lb bag
Back to frames.    I buy all my frames and boxes from them and they do qualify.   I also really like the ritecell foundation.   It has a great even coating of wax

I know your not blue.  if you were you would be talking about foam hives and honey balls.   i didn't set out to prove you wrong. you sparked my interest in cheaper sugar w/ free shipping.   I immediately looked at there online catalog and it read to call for pricing so I did.  The first thing out of the womans mouth was "19.00 a 50lb bag" and the 2nd thing was "you know it is one of our items that doesn't qualify for free shipping"  I have ordered pallets of boxes from Mannlake a couple of times delivered to a friends loading dock.  A skid of sugar with free shipping would have been sweet

I sometimes suspect that all order takers at ML are not endowed with the same level of bargain ability.  I have gotten free shipping on things that were refused the next time and some folks there seem to be able to dicker on prices and some won't.  I am talking about a little bigger orders around $1000.  But then my wife threatened to break my fingers so I don't order that much anymore.

Vance,
Certain items do not have free shipping and they will tell you that. The large box of opaque 12 oz honey bears jars are one. One nice thing, on my last order, they split the order into two groups. The honey bear jars were in one order and the rest was in a second order. That way I only paid the shipping on the first order.

Mann_Lake has 10% off EVERYTHING on Black Friday on orders over $100
Brushy Mt. has 5% off EVERYTHING on Cyber Monday when you use the code PCCM. Orders must be over $150 to get the free shipping.
Both places will have reduced prices on selected items.
Get your needed items when these sales take effect and SAVE some money. These are the best prices of the year for items shipped to your front door.
