Need to buy some SOOW 6/4

[zeekh]

So I was looking online to find tha best price. I found a decent deal at wireandsupply.com but the price seems to good to be true. Has anyone nere ever bought anything from them? Thanks in advance for you thoughts

A link to the actual wire you are looking at might help. That company has one of the worst web pages I've been at!

You don't have a local electrical supply house?

$2.80/foot sounds pretty reasonable, depending on the shipping charge.

Folks on eBay are asking over $3/foot + shipping.

I forgot to link the wire

Seems kind of cheap. Almost to the point of not trusting the website. I have posted in 3 different forums. Not a soul seems to have purchased from them. I kind of make me wonder. Maybe I'm over analyzing

I hate it when there is no address to be found on the website, looking up the phone number got an address but it looks like a residential neighborhood. Probably somebody running a home business out of their basement and simply drop shipping everything.

I would pay though paypal to get at least some protection.

edit: found a different address on their facebook, looks like commercial area

PayPal with a credit card is how I do it. PayPal has protections but they tried screwing me one time so I did a chargeback via my credit card and all of a sudden paypal was helpful. Don't let paypal force you to use your bank account. I only do that when I am sending money to friends/family so there are no transaction fees.

Thanks for the leg work brewcheif, I too, hate when there isn't an address on the website. They don't answer the phone either, nor do they answer emails. Makes me a bit suspicious of their operation

Discover doesn't charge me for frauldulant use of my credit card, I will probably take the chance ( with some hesitation )

Paypal will refund your money if the items is not "substantially as described".

I bought an older, OEM CD player (cheap) on eBay. It was listed as "working". It did not. I got my money back and the seller did not even want the item back.

Thanks for the input everyone. I've decided to buy from a vendor on E bay. Plenty of feed back and only a little more $. I called Wire and Supply 2 times and emailed them twice. I never heard anything from them. If they can't return my calls, or answer the phone, or reply to an email they don't deserve my business.

Friday night to Veterans Day? I would have tried tomorrow they have 5000+ eBay feedbacks so probably was a legit operation...

Hi ishiboo if you're referring to my trying to contact wire & supply, that was last week. I'm not in a big hurry for the wire anyway so I may wait another day to see but I won't get my hopes up.
