Jamestown Distributrs

[sjetrider]

These guys are on the net selling fiberglass supplies and 2 part foam. I ordered 2 yards of a certain type glass they had on sale and some milled filler that seemed reasonably priced. My total was $47.39 for material that weighed a total of 6# (I get 5# on our works scales). They shipped Items from same location but packaged seperateley and charged me $24.99 frt for 6#. Once you take this rip off frt. charge into account they are way higher then anyone. I ordered a gallon and a half of epoxy resin, a quart of black pigment and 2 quarts of 2 part foam from another company and the frt. was the same as the 6# from Jamestown Distributors. :banghead:
Dont buy from them, it is another frt. scam.

I've been pretty happy with them. They had reasonable shipping for me (and that's from NJ to WA)

I actually found it to be a nice central place for all sorts of glassing supplies.

:dunno:

[Alex]

they have always been good to me always get my orders next day

[sjetrider]

It shipped quick, but check out the frt on less than 6#.
I scanned the invoice, but its too big to post here I guess.
6 friggin pounds $24.31 UPS GND RES. YEAH RIGHT.

Screw JAMESTOWN

[Matt_E]

That was shipped via two packages. I am not surprised it cost 24 bucks. What was the reason for the two separate packages?

[sjetrider]

Dont know but they came together. And 1 package was less than 2# and the other was 4#. No way it should be $24 bro. Call John Greer.

[thegoldenboy]

I was just going to order from them. Knowing this, the freight to Canada will be insane. Thanks for the heads up.

[WFO Speedracer]

I just ordered from them Monday I will let you know what they charged me for freight.

[Flash-FX]

Did you guys ever order from Fiberglass Supply up in WA? http://www.fiberglasssupply.com/ They carry Stretchalon 200 vacuum bag film. Freight might be a little less for west coast shipments.

I just got hosed on shipping. 6 yards of glass cloth and a quart of cleaner was $24. There's no F'ing way that it cost 24 bucks to ship that. FYI I had to buy the cloth from them because US composites didn't have what I needed.

[WFO Speedracer]

It looks like they charged me about $15.00 shipping for 10lbs on some west systems resin I bought from them.

[Matt_E]

Is it possible they charge that much for odd-sized items like glass and such?

[Legdrag's]

When I worked at FEDEx certain chemicals could not be ship together or even transported together in the same truck. We all know how fun that 2 part foam can be. Maybe that is why but not sure.

[sjetrider]

glass and milled fiber, no chemicals.

[demolition_x]

when i ordered my 2 part foam from uscomposites it was shipped in a bag inside a box with other stuff i bought.

i ordered the foam from them which is 2 gallon containers and a few yards of biaxial that was 50 inches wide and came in a separate package cause it was rolled up and i think shipping was less then 20 bucks. i would make a big stink thats messed up. they are getting as bad as ebay is to ship stuff.

[Matt_E]

glass and milled fiber, no chemicals.


What size box did the glass come in?

[Flash-FX]

I think UPS is the one to blaim for this one....the same weight but as a "oversize package" (50 inches long) really makes it cost like 3x more.:bigeyes: I just ran some #'s through UPS worldship. There's no easy way around that one.

Oh wait....let's blaim it on the fuel prices. :bs2:

[Matt_E]

That's why I was asking. Trying to ship oversize items through UPS is expensive.

[RideItLikeYouStoleIt]

I ordered from them to get 5200. they were cheapest around and only charged me about 4.99 for fedex. took 1 day to get.
