Subject: Pietenpol-List: Aircraft Spruce & Specialty $HIPPINGI called AS&S early this morning thinking I would order some 1/16th inch thick plywood, 48 inches by 48 inches. The plywood was reasonable, just $24 butthe lady quoted me a price of $120.00 to ship it. I then called Wicks. They wanted somewhere around $50 for the same piece of plywood, but this time the lady on the phone said "I can't tell you about shipping, the guys downstairs to that.." Is this reasonable, sales (at Wicks) not knowing what the left hand is doing and AS&S getting $120 for shipping a thin piece of 48 inch by 48 inch plywood a couple of states away?S.B.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 15:40:46 -0500

Airborne Express is the cheapest when it comes to this stuff... and they'll deliverit to your house. That's how my big 4x8 sheets of ply came and it was reasonablypricedDJ ----- Original Message -----

I get all my ply from Alpha Aviation in Greenville (about a 30 minute drive East(sort of) from Dallas).....same price as AS&S, only costs driving out to seeRuss and is a LOT more fun to deal with (he's a really nice guy)......Or how about I "ship" it to Plano for $100 (that's a $40 savings!!!) and you "stopby" and pick it up???? Isn't that a win-win?????jm ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Aircraft Spruce & Specialty $HIPPINGProblem solved!I'm heading to Alpha Aviation in Greenville. Long drive from Central Texas, but worth the trip to see this place. Jim. Do I drop off a taco and Corona on the way, or FedEx it to Plano?Thanks for the tip.S.B.________________________________________________________________________________ ETAsAhQKoFnlqgqD5i+i17eeRql5/3g4kwIUX2SPUuxbWcxYLReo+aBlUIXyCzs=

Drop it off on the way....and pick up those welding flanges....I typically call Russ first (903.455.3113) just to make sure....JM ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Aircraft Spruce & Specialty $HIPPINGI guess an appology is due to AS&S. My mindset on the shipping issue was probably from my buying things on Ebay where some (not all) vendors charge $30to send something and when it arrives in the mail, the postage was $6.I'm off to Alpha Aviation Supply Company in Greenville, TX next week for my plywood needs. AS&S had the best price for the actual purchase of the plywood I am in need of, BTW.S.B.________________________________________________________________________________
