whats weird is that you have to fill out your billing address and information before you can see shipping. :?

Yeah, I don't understand that either. But you can call them to get a good quote if you like. I have bought quite a bit from them in the past. They seem to always have the ammo for my old rifle when I need more. Their sales reps are great and always helpful.

They are have good service and the shipping is usually quite reasonable.

I have 2 complaints with them (and they are minor)

1) you will be literally inundated with catalogs...
2) those catalogs will have your customer information pre printed on the order form inside, so you need to tear it out and shred it along with the mailing label when you dispose of it.

I've bought tons of stuff from them - usually it's pretty decent - a few crappy items, but you get what you pay for usually...

DuckRyder is right on the mark when he says you'll get a ton of catalogs - usually at least 1 a week... but hey, we can always use some more bathroom reading material... :huh: right next to the NPD, DC, LMC, BOTP catalogs... ;)

correction for mugwump-

"we can always use some more bathroom reading material... right next to the NPD, DC, LMC (this would be wiping material, not reading!), BOTP catalogs..."

thanks guys, they will probably be the place i get one from, if pepboys doesnt have them anymore.

earlier i noticed Darrman (i think thats how its spelt) has a nice looking(lots of straps to hold tarp tight, nice material, powdercoated metal frame) garage in the backround of a for-sale ad he has here. He said he got it at Pepboys for 320. so my dad and i are hopefull going to get a garage from them this weekend. problem is, darrman said it was 12x26, which may not fit in the side yard :eek: , but it should.
