new online nursery in Canada selling fig trees...
Comments (8)Hi, tijuanatoad: Don't click on this website: "You can also visit his web site directly at brugmansia-quebec.com" as posted by frozbig. Gives you the 404 error! DO CLICK on the weblink provided by sliebe (see above) "New 2013 catalog now available with up to 66 varieties of fig ........" this should work! After getting to the main page of the Brugmansia-Quebec website, click the "English" icon located on the leftmost text box. Make sure you add the correct shipping fee to your order. I've just ordered some fig plants from this nursery. I like the service(they sent me email promptly)so if anyone in Canada wants to make the purchase, I would highly recommend this nursery....See MoreWhere to order Brad-Youngor Classic Leather sofa on-line from NC
Comments (14)Normally if a local store is not competitive, there are one of two reasons: 1) The store owner has not adapted to current market conditions. Quite simply, as the profit margins move downward - and they have - they have not revised their business structure to capture sales that would otherwise go to out-of-area dealers. Some store owners insist on adhering to a margin-based price structure and will not adjust. The smart businessman NEVER lets a customer walk out to do business out-of-area. I know a number of store owners who are hard-headed and won't adapt. Its up to you, their local customer, to bring in a price quote and show them that they need to match it or you'll go elsewhere. If enough customers do that, they'll get the message. But if you never tell them, then they don't know. 2) Some furniture makers have a 2-tier price structure. Small stores don't get as large a discount from the maker as larger ones do. Typically its based on dollar-volume sold, or number of pieces put on the floor. So there is a chance that within a certain brand line that you local dealer is paying more for the goods than a larger, out-of-state discounter. This happens to me with Southwood Furniture as an example. My cost basis is 10 % less than the big store in the next county because they do more volume by accident than I do working hard at it. Still they get the volume price and I don't. Nevertheless, I adapt (being a savvy dealer!) and match price or go under them everyday. It results in thin margins, and it does not exactly make me want to invest in a lot of their product for the floor. Personally, I think it a bad policy from the makers as it tends to keep the little guys small regardless of how hard they work for the brand and limits floor exposure for their dealership network. Walk your best price into your local dealer and tell them in no uncertain terms they need to beat it. See what happens! Keep in mind however, that local sales tax is not something that your hometown store cannot waive and should be factored out when price shopping (the flip side of this is that these taxes do come back into your community infrastructure when you buy locally).

Comments (20)Lake Mayor - if you click on "my page", then click on "my journal" and then click on "teresa_MN's page" it will bring you to a link to my email. Send me your address. I got to the post office today and there were no less than a couple hundred people. I will take an earlier bus tomorrow morning and go to the PO when they open at 6:30. So Shambo and all others should get their rice Saturday. Lou - no need to send me anthing. I found a package of goodies on my steps today that came from you! That will be a seperate thread. This was really fun! And Joshua did a great job picking a good mix of folks. A couple have never had the rice, some people I know, one I've never heard of! I was very happy to be able to share rice this year. I've never seen a crop like this, and I don't expect I ever will again. There have been years I have ordered rice from Deer River, Minnesota when our crop was slim. I ordered 30 lbs of rice from the guy a couple weeks ago for a friend who was coming to town for Thanksgiving. The shipping to my house was cheaper than shipping it to Texas. I had plans to meet this friend for drinks and I handed off the rice then. If anyone wants the name of that place, let me know. There are several rice sellers in Deer River, but only one has hand harvested lake rice. Teresa...See MoreOnline source for Hansgrohe fixtures -- need to order now
Comments (15)I didn't think there was a connection between build.com and Fergusons, either, but I checked into it and it turns out that there is a large, British parent company that owns both build.com and Fergusons. However, it's important to know that, whenever I compared prices, they were much better at build.com than at Fergusons (both online and at my local Fergusons). I just checked out the price of a Hansgrohe faucet I'm familiar with and it was $161 at build.com and $201 at Fergusons. Occasionally Amazon will be close to or about the same as build.com in pricing, but I have to pay sales tax most of the time at Amazon, and don't at build.com, which saves me nearly 10% on my orders. I also like build.com because they carry other products besides plumbing fixtures, like lighting, cabinet hardware, fans/vents, tankless water heaters, vanities, mirrors, etc....See Morerouge21_gw (CDN Z5b/6a)
