Zoro Deals Thread

[squashman702]

This was my first order from Zoro- the welder and cover showed as "in stock"- is this true or will it actually be drop shipped from Miller? I know others had a delay when getting their welders.

It can be hit or miss. Depends on how many 211 orders were in before yours. I think they update availability AFTER items ship. During the last Flash sale, I purchased a 211 and it said in stock at time of order. Well, they sold a few that day and my order was put on back order for over a month.

They will not drop ship from Miller. Mine eventually came from a warehouse in South Carolina, yet Miller is just a few hundred miles from me.

I hope people don't get back orders, the rebate must be received by Aug 15th to get the spool gun. You can still get the $200, or $400 rebate regardless, just letting people know there is some risk.

I was going to do this deal, but I have decided against it. I was figuring the spool gun would be the icing on the cake, but I do not want to get burned. I don't need the spool gun, just thought it would be nice. Hope everyone gets it!

They actually just called me to confirm, and said that they should have it in stock. Should know in a bit if that's definitely true.

 

[Strouty]

I may give them a call, I don't want the welder, but I know I can sell it for about $1000. Then I get a spool gun for my current 211 and the accessories for dirt cheap.

 

[Skin]

Are there just certain things that Zoro is way overpriced on?

yes.

 

[Strouty]

I called them, they said current stock was 20 welders and that the system updates every 30 minutes. I figured I would take the chance, I was also told that if it does get back ordered, I can cancel the order.

I figure my total was $1676.62 so after the $400 rebate I will be at $1276.62 then if I can sell the welder for anywhere near $1000 I will end up with consumables for my current welder, a spool gun, welder cover, and I ordered the wireless tig foot pedal kit. Even if I sell the welder for $800 I will still have a great deal for the $476.62.

Thanks for the update, means my order should have been instock. I was too lazy to call, and figured i would cancel if it was backordered.

Now if the person on the other end of the phone was wrong, no blaming me.

 

[JettaGetUpandGo]

I have a 10% off $100 or 20% off $200 that expires 8/7/15. I'm not going to use it, Code STPC7CH7PE if anyone can...

I've been holding out for a deal on the M18 High Torque Impact Wrench. Zoro's price was a little higher, but with the discount it became the cheapest! Thanks!

 

[ahab]

Last flash sale I stocked up on EVERY SINGLE SIZE square drive wood screw and Kreg screw. Should cover all my needs and unify my phillips, square, and torx seletion to just square 2. No more unexpected trips to Orange & Blue

Needed places to store all that so I ordred some Akro Mills hanging bins
http://www.zoro.com/akro-mils-stack-and-hang-bin-red/g/00068660/


and the panels to hang them on
http://www.zoro.com/akro-mils-akrobins-hanging-systems/g/00052438/

and lids, and dividers, and a bunch of odd 1/4-20 hardware. Cam lock nuts, T-nuts, threaded inserts...

And some odd brass fittings for air systems, like street Ts and mufflers (so i can dump my compressor without sounding like a jet engine)

I keep a few Irwin pliers on my Amazon wish list as possible filler, but never seem to use them.

Now lets see if they ship from the warehouse that will get it here next day, or the one across country that will be next week.

 

[Robert Hall]

And I now have a single use 25% off in my inbox. When it rains, it pours.

 

[vintagespeed1956]

I wonder if it helped that I called and spoke to marketing yesterday asking for something before the end of the month lol, this is awesome!

i hope so! i placed my order today and got that sweet, SWEET 25% discount!

have been wanted a 210 for a loooooong time, now after i sell all these spoolies and part with my old Lincoln, i'll be about $250 or less on the upgrade. plus the points back from the cc.

edit:

and hey, thank you for this thread all!

Didn't want to risk having the free spool gun on backorder? Well anyway, you can put in for a free 2nd one, I guess..

 

[crewchief437]

i bought the spool gun to hit 400$ im selling one of them

That's an error... if it doesn't fix itself in their system, give them a call. Their CS team is great!

 

[rice rocket]

It fixes itself when your card get charged. I thought I got a discount since it never used to happen (started charging tax this year or something?), but it's just the difference in taxes.

 

[countrysquire]

Mine showed the pre-discount tax in the box in the upper left corner, but the invoice that I received in the email from them showed the correct (after-discount) tax.

 

[RH2]

Yes, you are right. My email showed the correct amount.

Debating on ordering the Milwaukee 5616-24 Multi-Base Router Kit, 2-1/4 HP.
http://www.zoro.com/milwaukee-multi-base-router-kit-2-14-hp-5616-24/i/G4936897/

I figure 25% off will put it at $223.
Home Depot has it for $261, with at best a $25 off $250 coupon would put it at $236.

Been wanting this for a while now.

I had mine shipped right across the TX/OK border to a UPS store to avoid the $200 in sales tax

..... no one needs to chime in that I'm still liable to use tax in that case.

Have you tried a 20% off HF coupon? Assuming it's only online at HD, I've had success getting them to take 20% off over the phone. If they won't, I've had them compromise at 15% and 10%.

I bought that router from Zoro last... November. Couldn't be happier with a single machine.

I like the body grip / fixed base. Allows the power of a 2-1/4 router to be strapped to your palm, great for when you want to use that 1/4 roundover bit on a bunch of holes in a board. Lets me get by without a trim / palm router.

Try Northern Tool:

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200348006_200348006

They have $50 off $250 coupons regularly, and free shipping. Buy some shop towels and get the router for $200.

Sorry Zoro!

Thanks for the tips ~

 

[GlobalTJB]

my welder and safety equipment pack, wire and consumables shipped. not bad! Its too bad they charge tax for VA.

 

[vintagespeed1956]

my welder and spoolies shipped today. got tracking numbers. that's pretty fast!

hopefully it's not an envelope full of tissue paper.....

 

[aroslv]

What time did you guys place your order?

Placed my order 7:20AM PST, still says processing...

 

[GlobalTJB]

725 est. tracking numbers came in a separate email an hour ago.

 

[aroslv]

They must be reading this thread... Just got the email saying it was shipped. =]

 

[Skin]

If they're reading this thread then they can stop being cheapskates with their discounts and do a flash sale tomorrow.

 

[squashman702]

Still haven't gotten my confirmation yet, ordered at 6:56 this morning.

I don't know why you guys think it'll be any time soon.

Last year, it was March 3, May 15, November 29, and Dec 29.

This year, it's been March 17, May 14....



Notice a pattern?

Yeah. We're not even close to the next 30% off.

 

[ahab]

brb, adding stuff to my cart for next flash sale

 

[countrysquire]

I got the shipping notice from UPS before I got one from Zoro, but the 211 is on it's way. Guess it's time to put my fabulous Harbor Freight welder on craigslist...

Yeah. We're not even close to the next 30% off.

and the year before that there was one in July. There is no pattern other than there being a flash sale roughly once within every 3 month period. Someone else said before that its once per quarter. Last one is coming up on 3 months ago, you do the math. I can guarantee you there will be one long before November.

 

[cagullett1]

I want my shipping notification emails!!

 

[ahab]

I got notice they received my order at 11:19 AM, and got tracking info at 9 PM.

Managed to time it right so it ends up being 2 day shipping 1200 miles, as long as UPS doesn't screw it up like they did last time.
