Funny how excitement comes and goes......

On my list of things to buy is a Woodpecker square, model 1281. I know they are expensive so it has been on the list for a while and it hasn't come up to the top but it is getting near the top.

I get an email from Woodpecker and guess what, it is on sale! Until the 3rd at midnight you can get it for just $99.99. Warned you it was expensive but it is on sale.

I put one in the shopping cart and then check the postage. The cheapest postage is $13.18! So my excitement goes down the tubes with the order. I'm sorry but I just will not pay that much in postage for one of these.

Now I'm looking at a place that sells them for $105 but has free shipping. Maybe I'll get one this month or maybe not but I will not be getting it on sale at woodpecker for sure.

I thought Woodpecker shipped FREE for anything $75 or more.

I used the link in the email and added the square to the cart, in the cart then there was a list of shipping methods all of which cost money, the cheapest was as listed above. Maybe sale prices don't get free shipping??

Just went back to check again and it is how I said it was:

Look at it this way, you saved $105

Ed, Is this the place you are shopping. I think probably not.

Ed, I am curious. What is there about this square (other than guaranteed accuracxy to levels far in excess of need) that you like enough to spend $100+ to get it?

I don't know if this "Woodpeckers" or not.

The email link takes you to the real woodpecker site and it is on sale there.

The other link has free shipping but not the sale price.

I have found it for less at another place so if I do decide to order it then it is more then likely I will go there. I want the least total amount of money out of pocket so being on sale or not doesn't really matter so long as the total of what I pay is less.

I have a collection of smaller machinist and a collection of various other squares but none like this one. I want one that is as accurate as this claims to be as a reference. Some people have cable tv or data plans for there cell phone that cost this much every month, I don't so I can get tools like this.

I was looking at making a template to make a very accurate piece of equipment and while trying to figure out the solution to getting my tools to create it several things came up as obstacles. Having a very accurate square was one of them.

Beside the square has been on my wish list for a while now.

Maybe "Retail Ground"(up to 2 weeks) is what is 'free'.

And just what is that? Parcel post??

You have to pick from the list so nothing there is free. I think and this is only a guess but the cheapest way and that note go together.

There is no indication that woodpecker.com has free shipping for this square.
