Big Wilke News - Flat Shipping and Sale Prices

[Jeffrey Schronce]

Just received a flyer today in the mail from Wilke. Seems that they have finally listened to all the complaining about shipping rates, particularly those of you on the West coast. They have introducted flat shipping rates.
Checking against Grizzly, the new shipping rates look pretty good.

12" Jointer
Grizzly - $1595.00 & $229.95 Shipping
Wilke - $1499.00 & $220.00 Shipping

6" Jointer
Grizzly - $325.00 & $69.25 Shipping
Wilke - $319.00 & $65.00 Shipping

15" Planer
Grizzly - $775.00 & $139.25 Shipping
Wilke - $699.00 & $130.00 Shipping

Looks like they have pretty much priced a few bucks less than Grizzly on the items I checked.

Might be a Wilke Planer in my future if this is the case. Too bad the web site still doesn't list the shipping price prior to placing the order so everyone can see it.
