If you make a donation to this stovebolt site you will get 10% off all your purchases. At the end of last year I bought lots of stuff when he offered the Stovebolters a whopping 25% off. Then this past April he offered an additional 5% making our purchases 15% off. The BEST part is he only charges actual shipping which is a god send!
I have bought from others and basically have had at least one major problem with each of them over the years. I will not say "never" but I will say there are a couple of them I do not want to buy from and they are also expensive for the same product others offer, and from the same manufacturer. Go figure that! Some of them actually buy certain parts from each other. Soooo, buyer beware. Check around, do your homework because all of them are after one thing....you $$$$. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 403 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 403 | Jim you can't blame the company you ordered the Decals from as most of the companys have a minmum order policy and you should of looked up the shipping charges before you ordered the decals while you were at it you could of waited and add to the order to reach or exceed their minumium. I know as I have ordered special bolts out of S/S polished and only needed 4 bolts. I could not get any of them here on the Calif. west coast and had to get them in Arizona. Cost of bolts 12pt. S/S polished $3.79 and cost to ship them with a one week arrival time $9.00, 3 days $11.79 overnite $25.00 I took the overnite because I need them well guess what they came in four days later. Now you want to talk about someone being HOT & PO' ed! Called the company and they gave me my money back and said they were sorry. Now that is what I call service. Oh I have ordered from several above companys and you need to compare prices on everyone of them for the best deal. Price + Shipping.= Best Deal
