I was looking at the cases on the Broadband Store listed on the WIKI page and was wondering if I need to buy the can wrench also. Thanks Paul.

You don't need to. I haven't. You can also put a small lock on them if you choose.

If you call the 800 number and place your order, you can ask for the CG1500a which is a little cheaper since it was custom made for a cable company who then did not take them. They have a logo embossed on the case, but it is not colored or marked and hardly noticeable. I just bought a bunch for several of us in the Atlanta area and my qty price for 17 was $8.19 each plus free shipping. You cannot order the CG1500a over the web. There is also a discount for DIYChristmas members that you can ask for and also must be requested via phone ordering not web ordering.

Are those the blue ridge cases? I thought they were sold out?
-
Just ordered some. Thay have about 1800 left. If you order 5 or more they are $8.19 a piece and if your order is more than $75 then you'll qualify for free shipping.

Did it drop in price? I think I paid a little more for these. Then again it was during the time when they want an order of 10 and I didn't need 10. Now I regret it. But hey if they have more thats good news ;D

Do we need to contact a certain person at yourbroadbandstore or can any help when placing the order. What type of additional discount is for the DIYChristmas members.
Thanks,
Rod
-
Don't know. I think if you order less than 5 the price is like $8.47 each. I also asked about a DIYC discount but she only said yes the discounted price is $8.19. To be honest,... I was just happy they still had some. :D

Anyone that answers the phone can take an order. They are all supposed to know about the special pricing on the Blueridge cases and any discounts for DIY folks.

Thanks everyone, I called and place an order this afternoon. I kept getting the phone message and finally got thru <la...

I mentioned DIYC more than twice and specifically mentioned/ asked about a DIYC discount and got the equivelant of a deer in the headlights over the phone. Venture to say they don't "all" know about the term. Still a MUCH better price than a standard CG-1500.

I got a message too but left my name and number and she called me back as the message promised.

Getting ready to order some cases... is the DIYC discount good on the normal cases, or only on the blueridge cases? Anyone know specific pricing details on the discount for only a few cases?
-
When I called on the 10th to place my order the cost was $8.19 for a qty of 5 and over on the blueridge cases. If your order was over $75.00 you got free shipping. If you did not want the blueridge case then the cost is what ever is listed on the site. Hope it answers your questions. I received my cases on order on Friday the 19th.
-
For those interested ... the carton quantity for the CG1500 is 8. Fewer and that and they fill the space with paper.... more than 8 and you get two boxes.. I was surprised that there was not a "discount" when ordering in quantities of 8.

When I received my order there were 6 to a case. I believe that these are shipped from several different warehouses, so YMMV.
-
Yep, mine were 6 in the case also.
-
Does anyone have a picture of what the blueridge cases look like? Are the logos that noticable?
-
Yea there were 6 per case when I ordered and they were packed and labeled with a Blueridge sticker indicating 6 per case. I ordered 14 so I got three boxes 2 full cases and a smaller box. with no labels just the Arris package sealing tape. The blueridge is not noticeable at all. Case is the same color gray as listed on the site as the standard CG-1500 the logo is located the top panel (that is blank in the picture. Lettering is about 1/2" tall if that. It is done during the molding process it doesn't stand out, its the same color of the case (gray) and if you stood about 4 feet away in the day time you really can't tell its there and at night no way could you see it.
-
I called and left them a message, I am still waiting for a call back (day 2). Did they get back to you right away or did you have to wait a few days?

Slink,
Some members did have luck with a call back, I did not when trying to place my order. So its a crap shoot. I would keep trying to call and get thru "hey its toll free".
Crazybob,
I for got to take a pick I'll do it tonight and post it. Sorry
-
I just got 4 - but the price was 8.78 per box. You guys must be way better at smooth talking <la.. But she did originally said 9.59 and the DLA discount brought it down to the 8.78 number. So that worked. And yes I had to call them back they didn't return my call but no big deal.

The first pic is with a bright LED light about 3 inches away, the second is with the camera flash, if you can notice, the second pic hardly shows the logo at all, it's pretty unnoticeable unless you know where to look. Between lineman and myself we bought 10 to get the free shipping because each box of 6 weighs 18Lbs. Worked out to 8.77 each with tax and free shipping, but you need to order at least 5 to get the 8.19 price and you must also mention (I think it was Doityourselfchristmas.com) a christmas website or the price is 9.16 each.
-
Thanks for the pics, i thought they would be more noticible than that.
-
Awesome info just in time. I bought six of these today at 8.19 ea + $11 shipping. I was tempted to order more just to get the free shipping, but the garage is already full, the attic is full, the shed out back is full, etc......
-
Thanks everyone. Valuable info i got here
-
I just ordered 7 of these for 8.19 a case. They still have some left.

I ordered and received 10. Thanks for the information. Now I just need something to put in them! <pop..

Hello, I've searched the wiki for references where you can buy these cases but I haven't found anything. Can someone please add a link to the relevant stores (preferably in Australia, but the US will be ok).
Thanks, Steve.

Steve, it's right below the Mouser BOM in the Lynx Express Manual: Case (Coax Demarcation Enclosures 12.25 X 12 X 5.25) http://www.yourbroadbandstore.com/product.php?pid=706098 (for USA.)

Anyone know if the Blue Ridge cases (CG-1500A) are still available from http://www.yourbroadbandstore.com/product.php?pid=706098, I just called them and instead of a nice friendly sales agent like I had the last time, I got some dude who is obviously not interested in selling anything or customer service. Pulling an answer out of him was like pulling teeth. So, has anyone ordered from them recently? Are the Blue Ridge cases still available?

Try placing a order and see what happens. You will know before committing your money.

They do have the Blue Ridge CG1500A cases 1400 of them $8.19 a piece free shipping on 5 or more . You have to call to order just tell them you want the Blue Ridge

Be sure you keep up with the order number. I ordered over a month ago. I called to see about my order and the one that answered ask for it but I didn't have it so the said they couldn't help me. The next day I called back hoping to get some one else but I don't think I did. They looked you my order with my name and said the shipment had tried to be dilivered two times already and that day was going to be the last day then it would be sent back to the company. I was on the way to a doctors appointmet and could not be home to get it so I ask him to send me the tracking number. After I got home that night I looked up the tracking number and i said it was to be delibered tomorrow for the first time. When it was delibered the next day the UPS driver left it without a signuture. I don't know why the company guy told me this but it was not good that he would lie to me two days in a row. What is wrong with this company that some one would do this.

I don,t know who you had but the gentalmen that helped me was very helpful luck of the draw I guess

ronniek,
Sounds like you got the same worthless guy I got when I asked about the Blue Ridge boxes. <wd..
-
I am glad to know I am not only one who got the "Customer Service" Dude. I placed an order for 5, got them in mail and they sent me 9x9's instead. It has taken 3 days just to get a RMA and everytime I called, I got the same "Customer Service" Dude who was useless. I will try back and ask for the DIY discount and see what the "Customer Service" Dude says. I did find out that this is the Online Ordering company for Arris Solutions, but to place order to them it has to be over $250.00. So they put this "Customer Service" Dude in with the Online ordering for smaller orders.

I just ordered 10 of these today. I spoke to a guy on the phone who was friendly not rude. He was familiar with the blue ridge case and also knew of it being referenced as CG1500A and the price for 10 $81.90 + Tax for NY State with Free UPS Ground shipping. I'll let you guys know if I have a size issue when they get here.
