I have ordered from Pelican a few times, but only when I hit the threshold for free shipping (which I found to be very quick). Honestly, the $8 minimum shipping charge has taken my business elsewhere on a number of occasions. If I'm going to pay for shipping I'll call Sunset and get the best possible price. Didn't vote.

Sorry but almost every site I buy from has free economy shipping 4-5 days. I can't remember the last time I paid for 2-3 day shipping over $100 purchase.

I have purchased from you in the past, but here is the thing you have to fix. If I do a search for a part on the internet your site usually does not come up. Then I have to search your site and other separately. Your prices are about a 50/50 split. At that point with others offer free shipping you lost a sale.

Typically when I order parts online it is done in advance, in preparation for a job, so no rush. What has annoyed me with some orders from Pelican is, after ordering enough items to qualify for free shipping, all but one part will ship from one location and then I get charged shipping for the single part from another location. I would prefer all parts shipped same time. Does me no good to have 90% of the parts I need the next day!
