Graybar.
 

At work, I saw a network wiring contractor bring in some cable from that company and I couldn't believe that a company would name itself that.

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 stopped by my local Graybar today and the price was $13.82.  No price break for a quantity of 10.  I did not ask about a larger qty.  They are a non-stock item and have to be shipped in and I would have to pay the shipping to either the local store or my home.  Not to good of a deal.

Gary, GRAYBAR is named after two gentlemen named Elisha Gray and  Enos Barton who founded the company in 1869 here in St. Louis, Mo.

Note that evolutionbb told me they no longer sell them.  They are in the goole search results for "cg1500", but they indicated that they no longer have a relationship with the mfg, which they indicated was Alcoa Fujikura Ltd

@$13 each plus shipping to you is the best I can find so far.

I think I read somewhere on planet christmas that it is around $16 shipping per case of 6. Don't quote me on that though.

How is that better than DF Countryman selling them ANY qty at $9.95 each and about $4 shipping each?    Is there somplace in the country that $17 each shipped is better than $14 each shipped??

[mitch09]

It's not better than $14, just the only one i could find with online ordering

Good point - you do need to call DF Countryman, but if you use Google Voice that call is free.  DFC was helpful, quick and accurate so from my one experience, they are good to use.

For what it's worth I just requested a quote, via email, from Duke at DF Countryman for 8 CG-1500's.  He came back with a cost of $11.50 per unit and $35 shipping. This puts it just under $16 per panel.  The quote I got seems to be higher than some other people have been reporting in this thread, but maybe his costs have gone up since those initial orders.

In the grand scheme of what we spend on equipment for this little hobby we enjoy, I'm not going to sweat a few dollars on the enclosures.  I'll probably just go with this quote from DFC.

BTW, they have an 800 number: 800-326-6820.

Uh-oh, supply and demand kicks in.  Glad I picked up extras while cost and shipping was lower!!  We may need to use one of the other sources if DFC gets out of control...

I sent a reply back to Duke at DFC asking if the prices had gone up since the earlier orders.  He said he could do $10 per enclosure and the $35 shipping (for was an estimate.  So I ordered 8 enclosures from him at the $10 price. We'll see what the shipping turns out to be.

BTW, I did this entire transaction via email with Duke.  Not quite as convenient as a web based ordering system, but didn't have to deal with playing phone tag.  I also made Duke aware that he may be getting a significant number of people making similar requests once the LE coop begins to ship.

Duke's email address at DFC is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and their phone number is 800-328-6820.

I just talked to a mr chuck baze from DF Countryman Co.he informed me that we can get the cg 1500 for $9.50 an enclosure provided we reach a goal of 375 units as a whole.

[sirloinofbeef001]

plus shipping.. dont want to forget that..

[CaptKirk]

Sort of like a COOP except they handle the shipping and billing and there are no Paypal or other overhead?  Make sure he knows that my 6 count toward that total!!

With so many LE's in the coop, it should be easy to hit that number.  Should we set up a special order "passcode" like "diy" "dla" or "lynx" with them so they know it is us??
