Ordering punchies on the web

23 years ago

Has anyone ordered punchies (punched pieces) on the web? I just ordered some from Punch-n-up, but then found some other sites that might be better. Let me know your experiences with this. I'm tired of buying punches that I can only use once, and like the idea of getting punchies that I can use or trade. Thanks

From the ratings, it seems Jungs had a 10% complaint record. Guess I have been lucky as all my purchases were fine. Last year when I was trying to track down a missing shipment of bushes (from one of those 'top-rated' vendors), no one could locate them. Surprise, when I got a note that a package was at the local post office...where it had been shoved under a shelf months earlier! Was reimbursed without incident. Once I was sent some lily bulbs from another top rated firm and they arrived shriveled and hard as stone...sitting on a radiator?...and when I notified the co, offered to return the evidence, they said, no problem. New bulbs were sent. Using my garden calendar, I call vendors if I have not received my order at the expected time. I always have the confirmation number and the person's name to whom I gave the order. Last year, one of my seed packets from Baker's Heirloom seeds was missing and another substitued. When I reported it, they said keep what was sent and they sent the one ordered. Overall, I have been happy with 'my' suppliers. I appreciate folks sharing their purchasing experiences. Thanks for your comments.

There is also a Forum here on GW (link below). Unlike GardenWatchDog, you can rate your experience with ebay sellers and post questions & comments regarding companies not appearing on GWD. Some companies that once appeared on GWD, received so many negative comments, that the owners threatened legal action against Daves Garden, unless they were removed. You won't find any of the sleazy companies listed there now, but search engines will list the GW Forums where their names appear. Better yet, if the company is relatively unknown or if you are still unsure about them, open a thread on an appropriate Forum and ask for member's experiences. I am convinced that you will receive honest answers. Rb Here is a link that might be useful: Rate & Review Vendors

Ordering fixtures on the web?

While there may be some truth to this, in reality the reason online retailers have lower prices than brick and mortar stores is that they have lower overhead. Most of these places do not have much (if any) warehouse space... when you want an item, they direct order it from the manufacturer. This means that chances are good that what you want won't be "in stock" and you might experience long lead times depending on the manufacturer. They don't employ many people either so customer service may be spotty and when you call them you might experience long hold times. It's the tradeoff for lower prices. In general most reputable online retailers sell the real thing.

Well the facts are in, my "trusted" auto mechanic's hands are dirty. As mentioned he priced a complex exaust part for a 1990 Mits Galant at $270, wow! He of course charges an hourly rate for his work: $65, less than the dealer charges, but still a "living" wage and sufficient to pay overhead costs at the same time. I always supposed he also marked up the cost of parts, maybe 10 to 20 percent, and much of that was due to the fact that he can purchase at a discount compared to what I pay. Well as mention above I found the needed parts and they came with delivery at a price of $130. So, today while at the one of the auto parts houses he priced parts at I asked after the price of the parts, $170, even to me, and that's $100 less than the mechanic wants to charge me. I'd be willing to bet he gets the parts for closer to the $130 line. In any case I get this picture: Time 1 Hour: cost $65, Parts mark-up $100, true cost per hour: $165, plus tax. I'll work on this one myself and may look for another mechanic, but my hopes of finding a more honest one are not high.

Kerrikay,

I have ordered several times from Punch-n-up have been very satisified. Plus she sends you a pack of freebies if you order $20. But a punchie swap sounds good too!

I punchie swap is fine with me too as long as it doesn't get too big or too many punches. My old bones just won't punch like they used to. LOL I need to invest in a power punch. Penny P.S. I would be willing to buy the actual punches (not punchies) from some of you if you no longer are needing them, and they are at a reasonable price. Penny

I ordered from Puncharific (link below) and was very satisfied. Her prices were very reasonable and she made them all adhesive (I assume with a xyron machine, or however you spell it).

Speaking of power punch Penny, they have a Strong Arm punch aid that is a scaled down version (and much less expensive) of the power punch. I'm thinking of getting one soon! (the company from the link below has 2 different types) Hilary
