+Milbank Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 (edited) I'm looking to order some TB's The shipping on the TB's from Geocachestore.com is the cheapest I have seen anyplace. I would like to know if anyone has ordered from them before I place a order. Thanks, http://www.geocachestore.com/ Edited November 25, 2004 by Milbank Quote Link to comment

+Milbank Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 I found it in the list of links on this page. http://shop.Groundspeak.com/shipping.cfm Shipping cost keep me from ordering from a lot of places online. There shipping charges on the TB's seem really good. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Okay, but if you use paypal through the GC store and just order TBs the shipping is free.. So I would assume that free is cheaper than the geocachestore charges, right? Quote Link to comment

So I would assume that free is cheaper than the geocachestore charges, right? You would think free shipping is better, but after taking another look I have to wonder. One TB from the geocachestore.com is $4.25 + .43 shipping for a total of $4.68 One TB from the geocaching.com site is $5.99 with free shipping. Edited to add: 8 TB's from the geocachestore.com is $34 + 3.40 shipping for a total of $37.40 8 TB's from the geocaching.com site is $34 with free shipping. I was just looking to get one or two TB's for my son. Edited November 25, 2004 by Milbank Quote Link to comment

+CompuCash Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 never heard of them either - clicked your link - strange page - first thought "is this for real?" but after looking around it seems it is. then have a nice listing of stuff - but the only GPS they carry is one of the few to which you cannot connect a computer.

+Cleenjeep & Danger Girl Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 item number 302, the travel bug, is 5.25 each. I dont see where there are any discounts available. maybe they raised their prices since you posted? Quote Link to comment
+Cleenjeep & Danger Girl Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 PICTURE TITLE QTY PRICE TOTAL Geocaching.com Travel Bug All Products Remove From Shopping Cart $5.25 $5.25 SUB TOTAL : $5.25 SHIPPING : $1.05 GRAND TOTAL : $6.30 Final total calculated at checkout This is what the checkout looked like as well. 1.05 per item? Yup. I updated the quantity, and it updated the shipping. Each one costs 1.05 to ship. Whew... So, where did you get these prices from? Quote Link to comment

So I would assume that free is cheaper than the geocachestore charges, right? Where is the option for paying through paypal? We looked at getting some cache labels through the Groundspeak store, but didn't want to pay the $5.66 UPS shipping for a couple of labels. There was no place that we saw to pay via paypal or to get cheaper of free shipping. Quote Link to comment

Even if it was free shipping it's still cheaper to order from geocachestore.com if you only want one or two TB's. Quote Link to comment

+Cleenjeep & Danger Girl Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 yeah, I know. That is just what it says on the item description. It was at the link that was posted above. Not to split hairs, the price is pretty close either way, and a few dollars isnt going to make or break anyone who was going to buy a few tb's anyway. Quote Link to comment
+Milbank Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 If anyone is interested I did end up getting the TB's from geocachestore.com They are not the fastest shippers in the world, but they are cheap on shipping. Cheap shipping is what I was looking for. If I remember right it took 2-3 weeks for me to get them. I will order more TB's from them again. Quote Link to comment

Still don't see how they are cheaper They charge 5.25 each plus 1.05 EACH for shipping. GC.com is 5.99 with free shipping... total is .31 less from GC.com Quote Link to comment

Especially if you order in bulk, which most of us travelbug freaks do. --Marky Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I just ordered some items from gpscentral -- which is in Canada and cheaper for me when it comes to shipping. It's nice to see more stores that stock GPS units now also stocking caching supplies! Quote Link to comment
