Now if he could only come up with prices that beat Art Munson's specials. Either the manufacture is giving Art a better deal, or Art is using it as a loss leader (doubtful).

Both my office and house are in the same sip code. In fact they are on the same street located about 3 and a half miles from each other.

Re: MD: discussion on advertising
=== The original message was multipart MIME=== === All non-text parts (attachments) have been removed === I agree totally agree. I ordered some discs I learned of here at a rate of 15 MDs for $29.00. Sounds like a good deal, then I find out that Shipping and Handling via UPS Ground is $6.50 which makes the price per disc not such a good deal after all. I did not know of the cost until the deal was done. I know shipping and handling will vary depending on which state you live, but maybe a general guideline to West, Midwest, East would be a good idea. The buyer needs to know ahead of time what these charges are before the deal is done.

I agree with everything that you said 100%. There was a company who's price was the delivered price. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to run a business. It's a shame because they had the concept down perfectly but their delivery (both uses of the word) stunk. That company was the late Mini Disc Now. It is just about impossible to give a delivered price on international orders. But MDN did give delivered price in the US. They also had the sense to use Priority Mail, which is much more reasonable then most other carriers and has delivery on Saturday. I can't believe that UPS does not make deliveries on Sat!
