A.C. Supply no longer 40% off?
A.C. Supply no longer 40% off? I see 33% off.
Is this an old story?

New to me...
The 40% was what got me there as it was below anybody else.

Not that old a story. I also noticed that ACS has dropped the '40% off Retail' from their website text and banners. Now they are 'Estes at Budget Saving Prices'. Estes may have reduced margins to big buyers like AC Supply. Shipping costs to get the products from Estes have certainly increased a lot over the past several months. Everyone's 'overhead' costs are increasing. Their costs to pay shipping om orders over $100 has certainly increased as well. All of the above eats into their net margins and I am sure they have been getting squeezed. We are all always looking for the best prices, but 33% would generally be considered a pretty good deal except for the fact that were were recently getting 40% off.

I seem to recall that the baseline discount at AC used to be 30% - if your order totaled more than $500 then it increased to 40%.
I don't recall when it changed, but 33% with a $100 minimum for free shipping is still a pretty sweet deal. |

Nice while the 40% off lasted. 33% off it still great, especailly with the free shipping over $100.
In the past I have had GREAT SERVICE from them. Orders processed and shipped quickly. Two occasions, many years apart, with orders missing in the mail. Tracking for one showed it got from St Louis to Minneapolis, then was on its way BACK to St. Louis. I called about the overdue order that was going back. They sent me a replacement order, and a postage-paid label if the original order finally showed up. I got the replacement in time for the launch, and then when the original order eventually showed up, sent it back with the prepaid postage label. Similar thing happened last summer, and used the same prepaid label for when the original order finally got here ( Arrived after I left for NARAM, but did get the replacement order before I left). Very few dealers, if any, would do THAT. ( I admit they may not do so for someone making their first order. But, also, they only know me as yet another generic customer who buys rocket stuff. So I expect they do the same for anyone with a similar record of ordering from them).
