I just ordered some CG-1500s from Tessco using Rick's (Pokey's) account rep for 9.23 per unit.
The rep asked if I would inform the DLAers about a couple of things.
1. The cases are special order for them, and as a result lead time on the cases is about 3-4 weeks. Basically, last minute ordering is not going to work.
2. The cases can only be ordered in batches of 6 (minimum 18), ie 18, 24, 30 etc.
my view...
In my case, I needed 21 cases, but had to order 24. I will have a few extra cases, not a deal breaker.
I'm in TN, so I got charged 9.25% TN sales tax, not unexpected since I had to pay tax with YBBS as well.
Shipping for 24 units from CT to TN is reasonable at $19.11
Per unit cost shipped to me was just under $11.
update
Just noticed that the shipping is apparently taxed as well...
