Started checking around online and couldn't believe how cheap the outlets were at Dale-Electric.com. *I decided to give them a try. There website isn't the best in the world but if you download the pdf of their catalog you can just enter the stock numbers of what you want. *They don't even give you the shipping amount when you complete your order but there is an estimate function. My order totaled about $150 and when the shipping was added $159 was charged to my card from "Hill electric". *Next day I got an email with a tracking number and the day after that I got my stuff. *I have no affiliation just passing on a place that has great prices on outlets. http://www.dale-electric.com/detail?itemnumber=7599-W Thanks for the link. A question: You said: "GFCI outlets are close to $20 anywhere here in NJ that I've been." Did you try the electrical supply houses that the contractors use? I'd bet they are not $20 at those locations. Where I live, there are at least 4 fancy "Lighting Centers" with a parts counter in the back, often accessed via the back door by the loading dock. The front parking lot is filled with SUV's and mini-vans, but drive around the back and it's pickup trucks and contractor vans.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yes, I even went to the places that sell wire lube in 5 gallon buckets and they wanted $15 for a 20A GFCI outlet. *I guess that is just how it is in the peoples republic of NJ. *I try to support the local stores and avoid the big box places when possible but I'm no Andrew Carnegie and can't afford to give money away. I recently needed a fuel pump for my truck and Amazon had it for $280, including next day air. *Best price I could get locally was $500 and that was the price the repair shops pay! *Needless to say I waited one day for Amazon to get the pump to me that was Delphi and not a cheap knockoff. They tax the hell out of businesses and residents in NJ. *All that does is make it a downhill spiral, more taxes, higher prices, less sales, less revenue, and so on...- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - One of the many, many reasons I moved out of NYC a long time ago. That, and the traffic. |
