Getting Fingers Dirty
Leo,leo8088 said:The best strategy is to order large quantity of ink and take the advantage of shipping by US postal flat rate boxes. You can see that a large flat rate box will cost only $12.95, a smaller flat rate box $9.80. I believe Hobbicolors offers flat rate shipping for large orders using these flat rate boxes. These are the best you can get for buying large quantity of ink. Ink is as heavy as water. If you buy ink in pints the large flat rate box has a lot of capacity for a lot of ink. The postage tops at $12.95 or $9.80. You can order as much ink until those boxes are full.
Thanks, that's a great suggestion.
I didn't mean to sound like I was beating up on Hobbicolors. Although I haven't used their ink yet, all the reports here on The Forum are positive regarding the ink's quality and the honesty and helpfulness of the distributor. I was just looking to, perhaps, stir up some competition which usually ends up helping the consumer. I still find it strange that no one has been able to turn up identical ink from another distributor.
