R12 source
Anyone in the Rhode Island area ever heard of a company called "Chillywillies"? There web site is www.chillywillies.com. They advertise virgin R12 at low prices. They are located on Fletcher Ave in Cranston,RI. The prices are lower than any I have seen. I tried calling them, but couldn't get thru.

Last can I purchased at Autozone was $14, so they're competitive when you consider shipping, though I think this stuff has to go by ground or you have to pay the hazardous shiiping fee for air - 90 Bucks a lb?

Four to six weeks delivery time.
Money order or checks only.
Don't answer the phone.
Web-site says their 800 number is down and check back later.
The address is probably a Post Office drop box.
Sounds like a scam.

I've heard that about some Autozone's, but most (licensed) customers report that they just end up speaking with the Manager and they're able to purchase. In fact, I haven't been to a discounter, whether it be NAPA, Pep Boys or Autozone where a clerk hasn't at one time or another told me that R12 was illegal, that they didn't carry it, etc, etc. Also, I once stopped in at three different Autozones on the same day and got 3 different prices. The 1st was $10 per can, the second $15, and the last was $12; all stores were within a 20 mile radius of the other.

I don't like blends.
