So hard to believe it's been 2.5 years since this closed thread on a cheap alternative to Blum Blumotion undermounts ==> http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28597&highlight=ncguy77

The net is that 2.5 years later, the slides are still functional and work like the day I put them in (no additional noise or friction).
They receive light duty of probably only 2-10 times per week which only translates to probably 1,000 operations over the years.


I notice that the price has increased to 10.70$ (with clips) for 18"
The clips look like they have gone to be all plastic/nylon?

For genuine Blum I've used these folks multiple times.
If there is a place that beats their $18.25 I'd appreciate hearing about it .
Shipping costs can span a wide gamut but both of these places seem to be the lowest when you total it all up.
I don't do production so I cant get mega discount.

I've recently built about 30 feet of built-ins across 3 rooms and I'm planning a purchase of 20+ pairs or so.

Jim,

Maybe you could see if others want to go in and place a larger order so that everyone benefits from the quantity discount. Several other people have done this successfully with other products.
