I don't disagree with you. No such thing as free shipping. Someone has to pay for it one way or another. I just was wondering why, when EA is very clear on what they are willing to do, is it necessary to make such comments? Each person can and should decide for themselves if they are getting a "good deal". For me, I drive on average 1,500 miles a week. I don't mind driving to them and saving their shipping cost.

"Very clear".... is a poor choice of words, with respect to "free shipping".

That's unfortunate and a seemingly uninformed usage of resources when designating a tow vehicle. Mine gets better than that when pulling over 12k pounds!

"Uninformed usage"???
Really ???
Tow vehicle is a pristine, 20 year old K2500 4x4 Suburban, with 454 V-8 in a hilly area, often in very slow traffic.
Your suggestions please, on how I might become better ....informed?
Perhaps your suggestion will be that I buy a new $75,000 vehicle for the 2000 miles per year that I use it (I ONLY use it for towing).
Now THAT would REALLY be "uniformed usage of resources".
Thank you for the carefully crafted INSULT !!!

You living 85 miles away from the nearest terminal is EA's fault how? You must be a newb to rural living, so let me be the first to say "Welcome!"... If driving that 170 mile round trip is such a hassle, why would you expect anyone else to do it for free? You think you are better than those that would deliver it? Entitled much?

Try this: get over yourself...

Lots of flawed assumptions here!

Sounds like you are throwing in some flawed assumptions of your own. :laughing:
There are many options in between a 20 year old guzzler and a new $75,000 vehicle to net much better mpg if it's a concern.
That's what I was saying in a tactical manner, much like your own every time the EA bashing door is slightly cracked.

I love your logic Travis! "Flawed assumptions"
What replacement vehicle, at what cost, would you suggest that I buy for 2000 mi. yearly usage?

I am not "bashing" EA built equipment!
I do, however, find EA advertising of "Free Shipping" to somewhere,... other than the buyer's location,... deliberately misleading.

This is way over the top. But I致e learned in life that there are many who just simply cannot read nor accept that sometimes the choices they make impact the things they must do. Life is not always easy.

I知 lucky. I live just outside the 1000 mike radius but get free shipping. I knew that going in because I called and the shipping was explained to me. I知 lucky again that I知 in a big city and the FedEx place is only 12 miles away. All my luckiness means I知 able to enjoy all 4 of my EA Attachments. If I lived further away I understand I would have unique challenges based on that and may have never looked here at a company that bends over backwards in every respect to accommodate their customers needs.

Travis I appreciate all you guys have done for me. I read the shipping page and knew what was in store for my situation. Everyone should. Don稚 pay attention to the trolls whose walls are lined with 菟articipation medals and think every aspect of life should be groomed to them so that everything is fair.

I do not really care what you drive. I just found it funny that someone as wise as yourself would be driving a 9mpg gas hog.

But, heck, if you're only driving it 2,000 miles a year, it probably needs it's legs stretched a little more. Blow the cobwebs out by picking up some nice tractor attachments. :laughing:

SERIOUSLY - did I just read your comments correctly? "when EA is very clear".

Perhaps you also don't understand the definition of CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, and if you do understand that term, them you are being naive. There are laws that actually protect the consumer by vague and ambiguous marketing.

Let me spell it out for you. You can't say you will DO SOMETHING, like FREE SHIPPING WITHIN CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, then not actually DO THAT.

State and federal laws are in place to protect consumers from false or misleading advertising. These laws make deceptive claims illegal. No business may make false, misleading, or deceptive claims about a product regarding its: Price. Guess what a consumer that lives out of the "sweet spot" get's charged more so the price of the product is effected - are you still with me here? It's NOT me it's FEDERAL LAW.

Believe me EA knows exactly what they are doing by deceiving consumers.


Does anyone want to know a simple TRUTHFUL fix? Just say FREE SHIPPING TO SOME OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. There not that difficult is it? What's deceiving is saying FREE SHIPPING WITHIN CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, What that means in EVERY STATE EXCEPT HAWAII.

Thank you for the "Free" education as I can use all I can get. But was it really "free"? You had to determine how much "free" you were willing to pay for to give me that education. You invested your time, payed for the device you used to post that information, payed for the electricity to power said device and paid for the internet connection to give me my free education. I likewise had to determine how much "free" I was willing to pay for to receive your teachings. I have never seen anything that was truly "free".

Ted has to determine how much "free shipping" he is willing or able to pay for and his customers have to determine how much they are willing to pay to receive his "free shipping". I, like Ted, have a business to run. I have 122 families relying on me to make good, sound business decisions. If I don't manage profits and cash flow, a lot of folks will be disappointed come Friday. It is a huge responsibility to take on as leaders of companies. I personally appreciate what EA is offering as they are not required to do anything. I am not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand.

From the tone of your post, I also assume that you opt to accurately advertise your business products, and their delivery costs.
THAT is an EXCELLENT business practice!
