Question Bob Drake black friday sale 32 sheet metal ?

So..... Bob Drake has a black Friday sale beginning tomorrow 11/22/18 I'm assuming no prices will be posted until tomorrow has anyone found otherwise ?Also noted that the 32 sheet metal section has much less listed, in particular could not find UPI doors or quarters, or is something amiss with my search. ?

If it's not listed he probably doesn't have it.

I second that. Carpenter is much better quality and price and he has it in stock (usually). Speedway is also good. But Backorder Bob is FUBB.

I have used all the above vendors, Speedway is closest to me with respect to shipping as I can drive the 45 min. & pick it up, however have found often times items are shipped direct from the vendor. An example would be upi items come from the west coast & oversize items can carry additional ship fees that get rather hefty.

Lots of items have been marked down by about 5% making them 'sale' items and therefore disqualified from the Black Friday special sale as that only applies to items shown at their regular price. That's kind of bush league.

Only 10 days?!! I've had to wait almost 4 weeks! Even rang them, get some mort who just fobs me off. Best, in my opinion, if you want BD products, is to order them through some other supplier. BD has absolutely no customer ethos.

C&G Ford provides great service for us overseas buyers.
Very reasonable shipping rates and no BS.

A good case in point with regards to these holiday sales.....I priced the upi 32 5w quarter at Speedway motors on sale for $1080.00 with additional black Friday discount of $75.00 brings it to $1005.00 however since it ships from upi & is an oversize item an additional $168.00 is assessed to get it to the Midwest. Summit advertised at the same initial $1080.00 with an additional $40.00 oversize ship fee. ???? uncertain if the special 11% discount they advertise would apply. In all fairness to both vendors these were all on line quotes so not sure those pushing the keys are up to speed with all the quotes & how they are to be applied, particularly with respect to shipping. As previously discussed I could not find the Drake quarter on line nor did I search out other sources beyond those mentioned .
