You know, it's an interesting deal when it gets down to it. What I like about this deal as opposed to what MSC does, is you can get the extra 15% on top of other deals, though not necessarily on top of other promo codes. MSC just gives you their discount off catalog list price. I've tried half a dozen times with MSC and I always conclude it was a waste of time. This one is tempting me.
For example, I'd really like a nice vertical bandsaw and a 14x40 lathe. Turns out they have deals on both at the moment.
You can get a Wilton 14" bandsaw with VFD for a list price of $1739.95. It's on sale right now for $1398.95 with free shipping because of another offer. So we can stack on the 15% and the checkout shows we're now at $1189.11. I have to think about what I think of that price, but the point is that it let me take 15% on top of an item that was already discounted.
Likewise, they have a 14x40 on sale right now (no free shipping, unfortunately).
I can buy the bandsaw and the lathe delivered to my house with a liftgate truck for $5738.81.
Again, not sure that's an awesome price, but it sure is less than list on this merchandise.
Cheers,
