From where should I order my Shaw sink?

15 years ago

I need to get on the ball and order my 30" Shaw/ Rohl apron sink.

I can get one from Ferguson supply for $1054, but it seems I can get a better price online. Any reputable online dealers that you guys would recommend?

thanks.

it's often recommended to *not* purchase a shaw's online, due to the fact that the individual nature of these sinks makes it more likely that you might get one that's got enough variance or defects that you'll need to return it. that, and the weight adding to shipping charges generally negates any savings you'll see from an online vendor.

unless you're saving hundreds, i'd buy it locally.

If you are in Socal, they have 2nds on the LA Craigslist all the time. I bought my 36" one for $400 brand new, and there is only the tiniest of pinprick in the finish (on the inside wall closest to you so you can't even see it when installed). I don't think I would have even noticed it if I had purchased it from Fergusans.

What should i expect from my heirloom rose order?
Q

Don't fret, Lilyfinch, I'm sure your roses will be fine! There's no use worrying about whether they'll survive the winter, worrying won't help anything. You already placed the order and they are probably on their way, so all that's left to do is be happy that your little roses are coming!! I guess I'm in the same boat as you because my Heirloom rose arrived today! And I'm in zone 5! I was beginning to regret my decision to order such a small rose this late in the season soon after I ordered, but now that it's here I am nothing but optimistic that it will survive. It's so cute and looks healthy. We need to get them acclimated to the outdoors quickly (shouldn't be hard with so many nice warm weeks of summer left), and with a pile of leaves to insulate them over the winter I think we will be enjoying our roses come spring :)

should i cancel my order of my fl washer --)warning long post!!!

If your current washer has been repaired and is working, why replace it now? You've already invested in the repair, I'd suggest continuing to use the machine until it develops another problem. Payback on energy/water savings depends on individual usage characteristics and local utility costs. Payback time at average of four loads per week likely will be longer than you expect, unless your utility costs are very high. Keep in mind that just because a frontloader (or any washer for that matter) has an exceptionally large capacity doesn't mean all your laundry should be bundled together so as to always run the largest load possible. Sorting according to color, soil level, fabric type, and special care items is still important, and even moreso with the newer HE-type low-water and high-spin-speed machines that are less forgiving at mismatching the cycle selection and load type. The wrinkle-prevent (or wrinkle guard, finish guard, wrinkle free, etc.) feature on dryers sometimes lead to misunderstanding of what exactly it does. It's intended for situations in which no one is present to immediately unload the dryer when a cycle ends. What it does is instead of the machine shutting off and sitting there with the clothes crumpled in the drum, it runs an unheated tumble for an additional period of time (either intermittently or continuously) to keep the items moving and fluffed-up. If you normally unload immediately when the cycle ends, the wrinkle-prevent function won't really do much for you.

Is a Shaw sink grid in my future?
Q
Comments (8)
Thanks hmsweethm and prill. I just hate to order the grid and then not like it as I know it's pretty pricey. My little plastic thing I got from The Container Store was not. I just really don't see any other way out, though. In my mind, I have to have something in there. I already have a very tiny chip...don't know how in the world that happened. I always blame it on my husband. Would you mind saying where you got your grid....that is if you got a good deal on it. LOL. I have been very fortunate in that my local plumbing supply has had excellent prices on all my needed items. They also carry lighting and I was recently surprised that they had an excellent price on a Minka ceiling fan...better price then anywhere online. Thanks again, pup

Wow--I've never heard of seconds!

Do NOT get it from Homeclick. I got mine there. It has numerous defects-black pinprick on the front face, big white pimple on the top lip, one front corner 1/4 inch lower than other, and drain/logo reversed from how it is normally done (they put the logo on the opposite side due to all the defects I just listed, which then switched the drain side, IF one wanted the logo visible). It was too heavy to return, so I negotiated 10% off.

Btw, I called Rohl, and they were most unhelpful. This was during the sink shortage, so maybe that had something to do with the disappointing customer service? They actually described all those problems as "possible" and within tolerances. Sure sounds like a "second" to me!

But I've heard great things here about Home and Stone, and they are just as cheap as Homeclick (and free shipping, no tax).

I'm one of the people who recommends against buying online based on personal experience. I paid $800 local (SoCal); the best price I heard online was $930 with "free" shipping of a 130 lb sink (coincidence that $130 more = 130 lb?). The 1st one I picked up had a visible bow, so I rejected it at pickup.

I searched online and found the best price, then went to my local Fergusons and they were able to match the price.
