A great online order experience

Just got my order in from Midwest and all is good, Fed ex must have screwed up when eneterd my delivery date as it said the 29th originally and I ordered on the 21st. I was wondering why it would take so long as I usually get stuff in 3 days and thought 4 possibly with the holiday but 7 was a little riduculous. I checked again last night and they had changed it to the 24th. It was right on schedule to wha Im used to and everything was there and in great shape. Im very happy with http://www.midwestsupplies.com/ .

Good deal, Wade. OTOH, I went to highgravity to look for more stuff and it appears they've done an across-the-board ~12% price increase since I ordered last week.

Oh well, I'll have to check out midwest again for the next batch.

Jeese guys ... I have had wonderful luck ordering wine kits and equipment from http://www.harringtonpress.com/.

His prices on wine kits is a lot lower than most and since he's an award winning homebrewer, his knowledge is great.

Tell him Charles sent you.

Ik not big on WineXpert kits but The US. Elite would be of interest to me. Dont see much for Homebrew there though!

My bad. Harrington is a home winemaker. He used to carry a lot of beer ... but has transitioned to mostly wine.

http://www.harringtonpress.com/ is one of the few places online that offer the smaller U.S.Elite kits. I've tasted the US Elite Voignier and it was great! US Elite is one of the few series developed (and certified) for commercial wineries and now available to home wine makers. We plan on ordering a couple after we recover from the Christmas bills.

I took a look at this site. Prices on kits are excellent but take the shipping into consideration also. I like to look at several items overall to compare prices. I stopped after looking at the Buon Vino Mini Jet Filter and noticed he he was about $80.00 higher than other places on such a common item.

Its like shopping for food, almost every place will have some good deals and then sell some other products for way over another places price. Its hard to find a place that sells everything at the best price. Even the place I usually link here can be high on some items, you just have to shop around for what your buying but remember what smurfe said again, its not always price, make sure the seller is reputable also cause there are places out there that arent there for us if you know what I mean an dont care about customer service!

 

[Runningwolf]

Your absolutely right Wade. I am also going to look at those US Elite kits.

If looking for the Moni-Jet here is a great price

Tom, That is where I got mine for Christmas. It ended up costing $125 with the exchange rate. That is a awesome deal and they were also great to deal with. To be fair I was not using this price for comparison as they usually begin at about $179.

 

[Tom]

Thats where I got mine also. Thats why I posted it

And then sometimes you find great deals on stuff right around the corner. Yesterday I found 5 gallon food grade buckets locally for $6.50 ea. The place also has citric acid for $3.96/lb
