Default Have you noticed when vendors

are having a special there's always a string attached?
Take yesterday for example, last day for two vendor's specials.
No names , but one says "free shipping". I wanted to get a set of Koolsox for my wires so I go to their website, you have to spend a minimum of $199. OK, I've seen that before.
Second vendor, advertises 15% off everything! (Moving Sale)
I figure I'll get my Koolsox there. Guess what, (even though this item is plastered all over their website), the item is not included because they don't stock it!
I just think this is a bit much, especially from vendor #2.
I believe in supporting the forum's vendors but they don't make it easy sometimes.
Thanks for listening.
Rock

That's why I like Amazon for non-Corvette related stuff - free shipping (if over $25), no tax, and fast order throughput.

I try to buy Corvette specific products from the site vendors, but I find that SUMMIT RACING has almost everything else I need.
