I was going to pull the trigger on a brand new 3d xenon maglite and the price was decent--between $27 and $28 and the tax wasn't bad, but time they added the shipping onto it the price was over $40. I got one like new from ebay for under $28 shipped.
So today I figured I would get a xenon bipin bulb and the price was around $7.50, but the shipping was STILL $12+. So I backed down and got 6 radio shack krp103 bulbs for under $11 with free shipping and tax included from ebay.
Wanted a ml25it 3c--same shipping, so I got one new from ebay for $33.32 tax included with free shipping. Dang, it even came in a box instead of a display pac.
Mag instruments INC is losing money on me because of their high unvarible shipping cost and I wonder how many other folks have been turned off to them because of that.
They also try to sneak bundles on me and also double or triple my order, so I have to be on my toes. Their business practices seem sneeky and underhanded. The trip is everytime I have gotten a warranty switch from them the shipping was higher. Seems like the last time shipping was $18+, but I could be wrong because that was over a year ago. I do have the invoice somewhere though.
I want to throw some business towards maglite, but it seems like shipping is gonna be $12 plus if you don't order in bundles.
