Hive body sale?

When does Mann Lake typically run sale prices on their hive bodies?

10% off black Friday.

I already talked to them Dan. Trying to get all this shopping done before the new Year.
The sale runs all weekend. Get after it!

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.
Last year I was getting unassembled 8 frame mediums for $10 and change each. Great price !!

I could use a skid of hive bodies. One more thing about mannlake boxes. If you order 50 they come on a skid common carrier and you'll need a loading dock/forklift. If you buy 40 they'll come UPS. You wont need the lift or dock but you might need to give your pi$$ed off UPS driver a jar of honey

At least the ups driver won't be throwing that package over the fence.
My driver hates this time of year cause he knows those heavy boxes are coming. :imsorry:

Woodchoper; Mann Lake was closed today - so I was told by their answering 'service' Are you sure it isn't cyber Monday? I called about 3 times today and let it ring off the hook before the service would pick up.

correction; I saw on their website about the 10%. Now if I can just make contact to get my questions answered.

The email I got said " On their website all weekend" I wouldn't wait until Monday, I'd just order your needed items and ask your questions here. We can probably answer them !! :-D
I'd also check Brushy's prices against Mann-Lake's. The order I'm putting in Brushy's prices were better.

Thanks woodchopper.

I found the answer to one question but I was wondering if the 18/9 had a conical shape on the bottom drain. If I order from them I'll be ordering a conversion kit and an extractor. Items # HH 170 and HH 166.

I just got HH-215 which is what I think you want to get. The honey gate is on the side of the extractor and not the bottom. Unfortunately at $1250 PLUS shipping you're going to be paying $150 less than if you got a Maxant 1400 plus shipping.
After owning both I can tell you the 1400 has many significant advantages over the Mann-Lake model. If I were you I'd spend some time comparing the two especially on something that will be lasting you a lifetime. Compared to the Mann-Lake the Maxant is a well proven tank.

My Maxant 30 frame is going on 40 years old
