Re: [TANKS] Re: #50 Attachment Chain?

[Derek Engelhaupt]

I asked them about it.  They tried to make the case that the expense of
sending to the US was the issue with customs and stuff.  And yes, they
wanted to me to buy like $2000 in chain.

[Ben Holko]

Their response as usual for any company depends on how you deal with them. I 
told them up front it was for a personal hobby project and I was only after 
small amount. In the end they even reduced the shipping cost because it was a 
personal order.

If you just ask for a price with no background then you'll probably get the 
standard book minimum and price.

> There is no such thing as $2 chain?

yes there is: www.mccchain.com.tw

I bought from there at about USD$2.30 per foot. I dealt with them wholly via 
email, and a SWIFT transfer for payment. You will need to buy a fair bit though 
to meet a minimum order, I purchased 40 feet and had to pay an additional $100 
minimum order fee. Even with that, and shipping (40 feet of #50 chain is not 
light!) it was still over $150 cheaper than getting something locally.

I have priced the Japanise chain @ about $40 per foot.
I have priced the import chain (from Peer Chain) @ $20 / foot in 100
foot lots.
There is no such thing as $2 chain?
