Re: Another local ski shop going out of business

Somebody explain free shipping to me. I've recently started building a small photo/post processing studio in my second bedroom, so I've been ordering from B&H for all the stuff, because it's gets to me tomorrow, tax free and free shipping. Even small items. Its incredibly convenient, and the cheapest overall price, every time. How do they do the free shipping? Who's eating that cost? B&H? UPS? I don't get it. But, they've got me hooked.

Nobidy is eating it. They built shipping into the price.

I've said this many times before on here

its very important that you support your local ski and bike shops. Yes you might be able short term save a few bucks buying on the internet but if you need service, support or warranty of those goods you need a local shop. Many of the internet skis are grey market meaning they don't come with a warranty but they don't tell you that when you buy from them.

Some day when brick and motar ski shops are gone what do you think prices are going to do on line? Skyrocket.

SHOP LOCAL!
