If you try again right now, I imagine Red Sox tickets are easier to
get. They're for 2004, though.

I was rooting for a Cubs/BoSox Series. Mrs. Craig is a Cubs fan, in
the true sense of the word ("fanatic"). We argue over NL Central,
since I'm a Cards fan since childhood.

But mostly, we just love baseball.

I agree. It also makes for a much simpler way to figure shipping, no
zones, carriers, or
weights to factor for. Sure, some get screwed but when I shop for a
common item among
various resellers, I take the shipping policy into account and make the
best choice.

If the charge is going to be my sale price I prefer the method used by
AES (a radio supply house). There are increasing charges for orders of
up to $100, 100-500 and 500-1500. Over $1500, they pay for the shipping.

Shipping based on dollar value is kinda silly. I could buy something that
could fit in a priority mail envelope for over $200 and be way
overcharged, or I could have a Unisaw shipped and be way undercharged,

Actually, there is probably an oversize charge for a Unisaw, but you get
my point.

When I was at my local woodcraft last saturday, the lady who checked
me out (err, rung up my sales) stage-whispered to me "Didja get one of
our flyers?" I indicated the negative. She told me about the sale
and said that I'd better be here at 9:00am when they opened, as the
last time this happened they had hungary woodworkers lined up before
the doors were unlocked!

(so yes, it's happening at the local stores. Apparently at mine
they're fair game as soon as the doors open.)

I remember once upon a time, when Sears was in the mail-order
business, they used to include a shipping weight for each item in
their catalog. When you filled out your order, added up all the
shipping weights, and consulted a table in the (paper!) catalog based
on where you lived to compute the shipping charges. And the numbers
were not nice round things like $5.00 or $7.50. They were numbers
like $4.23 or something, reflecting (or at least seeming to reflect)
the actual cost of shipping your merchandise to you.

I always thought that was fair and reasonable.

The current practice -- charging you in proportion to what you spend
-- has always struck me as counterproductive. Why not have a policy
that the more you spend, the _less_ you pay? (Amazon has picked up on
this idea with its free shipping if you spend at least X dollars, but
they seem to be in the minority)

May be silly but it is the norm and it all averages out after a while.

I tried to get them early from my local WC today and it was a "not gonna
happen" response. Guess the corporate boobs are tying their hands pretty
tight. This particular store had a limited supply (as they all do, I'm
sure) of only 60 of each type - so only 15 people will theoretically get
them at the store.

The manager said he thinks the corporate supply is limited to only about
1000/size as well. That blows.

I tried to get Red Sox tickets, too, via their online system. I emailed
their ticket office and was told that 1.9 million users connected to their
sight the minute the tickets went on sale. There were only 18,000 tickets
available!

Hopefully the clamps will be more satisfying than the tickets. Although, it
will all be good when the Sox kick the Boobs from the Bronx into hibernation
tonight <vbg>

Seems to me they have a four clamp limit mentioned in that e-mail...

John

If you are interested you better jump on it. I was lucky with the same
pricing from an online dealer and probably ordered the last 6 clamps in
different sizes. I immediately check back after ordering and they were sold
out of all sizes. Keep in mind shipping will probably add significantly to
the price if you can order on line but will still be an outstanding sale.

The race is on, 12 midnight, huh? I will have to set my alarm for this
one. Is that central time I wonder?

So is this an online sale that starts just after midnight (early Friday
morning)? Or is this a sale for local Woodcraft stores that starts at noon?
I'm confused from all the replies to this message. Also, is that midnight
Eastern time or which time zone?

There is a store in my city, but I got the impression that it is
separately owned.

At any rate, I ordered something on the web recently (the local store
didn't have it in stock) and they didn't add state sales tax to my
order.

I assume that web orders are EST as the headquarters is in Parkersburg
WV. That would be 9pm on Thursday for the left coasters.

Check your local store to see if they are participating. This was
also from the email.
Prices and promotions mentioned in this email are valid while supplies
last at all participating Woodcraft locations unless otherwise noted.

Do they charge tax on web orders if there is a store in your state?

This is from an email from a Woodcraft Customer Servive Rep

The sale via the internet will start right after midnight, EST. The
phone orders will be taken starting at 8 AM, EST. The stores will be
selling the clamps starting at 9 AM in the morning.

Umm 12:00 p.m. would be noon. 12:00 a.m. would be at night.

11:59 p.m. is the last full minute in a day and 11:59 a.m. is the last
minute of the morning.

That's what I initially thought, but I was wrong. They may have it at
the local stores, but the sale begins when Friday does, online.

>Eastern time or which time zone?
I assume eastern. But it REALLY begins when they update the prices on
the web, per their write-up. E.g., if you go online at 12:01am and
buy, but they haven't updated the prices on the listing on the web,
you are out of luck for the sale.

No. Noon is noon. It is neither before noon (am) or after noon (pm).
Our parent's generation, before the curse of digital clocks, was able
to understand that simple concept. And in a sense, midnight is both am
(before the next noon) and pm (after the last noon).

But in the world of digital clocks, where the am/pm marker changes
with the hour change, such logic is lost. (The clock is right, too,
except for the instant at which the hour changes.)

Except that 11:59 is an instant in time, not a minute. More accurately
stated, 11:59 pm - midnight is the last full minute of the day and
midnight-12:01 am is the first full minute of the day. And similar for
the minutes surrounding noon.

Kinda reminds me of asking if the border between US and Canada is in
the US or in Canada.
