Found new supplier for CG1500 enclosures

[dlhoppe]

Thought I would share this info with the group. I just found a supplier for the CG-1500 enclosures. The price for small quantities is $10/unit. I ordered 4 and they indicated the shipping costs will be approx $15. Based on what else I've been able to find online, this is a pretty good deal. I didn't ask about bulk pricing, but it appears they can do that too.

I was about to ask where to get enclosures since yourbroadbandstore.com isn't what it used to be.

Good I found this thread first.

Hrm...it might be worth letting htem know that there are 600 LE's that will be needing cases soon.  Might be a way to negotiate "slighlyt" better pricing.

Spoke with Duke this afternoon.
They found some in their Texas loacation, and I ordered 6 @10.00 each.
Even if they are not there ( ie backorder), I placed an order for 6 to be shipped to me up in Trevor, Wisconsin.
Waiting for a couple of Express Kits I bought from another DIY'r up north!

Are there two Trevors in WI?  The one I know of is near the illinois border.

I just got 6 delivered yesterday and my one LE is already bolted in and I have homes for the other three LE kits ordered in the COOP plus additions that will inevitably occur!!  Let the fun begin!!

CaptKirk,
Was the shipping marked up or was it reasonable?  I keep thinking I will call YBBS and get lucky with one last order...

[CaptKirk]

Well it was a big, reasonably heavy box that showed up.  Total for 6 (with shipping) was 84.17 to CA so  they ended up costing $14 each.  That ain't good.  The interesting thing is that their site says these weigh 14lbs each.  I wonder if we could negociate a "free shipping" deal like we had with YBBS.  BTW: I thought they (Arrisent?) only would do $250 orders now and YBBS was GONE?

well i also have another contact for your guys

page 11 they have cg1500 cg2000 ect ..i contact my local graybar in ottawa and they said they can supply them at aprox 10 $ a piece minimun 20 with  free shipping ... i will not need 20 but maybe some of you guy can get together and it could be a good deal
cheer

I do think that YBBS is gone but I have a hunch that Arris will jump on any decent size order.  My hunch is that YBBS/Arris got sick of guys calling for 1 of this or that.  I can relate...   I have not stayed on hold long enough to find out yet. 

The shipping figure seems realistic and not marked up.  I think we are just spoiled from the YBBS blue ridge free shipping thing.

That Graybar link looks promising.  Looks like I have several within 1 hour from me.  Maybe I can pick up and that will lower the quantity requirement.
