I have ordered from Mann Lake for several years and they always get it done. I also order items from Dadant and Western Bee but ML is hard to beat. I ordered $800.00 worth of ritecell foundation and a few nuc boxes from them on Monday of this week. Total weight was over 365 lbs, 9 individual boxes were delivered via UPS today ! Quite frankly I don't know how they do this. Needless to say there was no need to shop around to try to beat this deal. Their prices on plastic foundation and frames are excellent and with the free shipping its a great deal. Many times I have ordered items from Western Bee and the shipping is almost as much as the cost of the items. I have a larger order to place next week for some boxes but I needed the foundation right away. Those of you who live nearby a manufacturer and can pick up your stuff to avoid freight are lucky.
I placed an order on 4-16 and I received it via truck today at 330 pm. Very impressed with how fast shipping is with Mann lake. No email stating it was shipped but I don't really care now that i have my nucs boxes that were supposed to be back ordered.
with their free shipping program mann lake likes to ship orders complete to lower their cost, call and ask if something is on back-order if you are in a hurry.
Agreed. ML's super slow shipping is getting worse and worse. I have been averaging 3 weeks from order to delivery.
I switched to Betterbee. I pay for shipping but I always get orders the next day.
