Come one, Come all! :thumbs_up

During checkout, use discount code NCWWKICKOFF. This coupon code is valid until April 20 and is for 10% off (get it? 2010, as in the year the online store is launched!)

Thanks Jeremy, Rick's site sure has grown by leaps and bounds. I would encourage anyone that has not bought from Rick to do so. you WILL NOT be disappointed. One of the most pleasant people to deal with.

I disagree Tracy! Rick is an ENABLER! He is TOO nice and ends up emptying my tool budget! :rotflm:

It looks great and there are good prices. Does the free shipping apply to machinery too (not that i would have machinery shipped to me here)? Is there a "will call" option?

One suggestion is to have an "estimate shipping" option on the cart page which only requires a zip code. If it is a place i haven't dealt with before, i prefer seeing the shipped price without having to enter any identifying information. I know i could make stuff up, but that is extra work when i'm just trying to do quick comparisons.

Good link to have. Thanks for posting it. It's always nice to be able to work with one of our own.

Rick said YES free shipping on machines too (with the exception of a few items that use fixed shipping). As for the quick shipping quote ... you CAN do that too once the item is in your cart (it will calculate the shipping based on what is in the cart when you give the State and Zip). Will have to see about the "will call" option, but I believe that when you put the item in your cart you can do a "Local Pickup" option. (And yes, I'm helping Rick with the technical side of this )

Rick, congrats. I hope that the store really grows and makes you a lot of money. :thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up

Maybe it doesn't give the option in the cart to estimate shipping with the state and zip when the shipping is free. I went back and started the checkout process and did see the local pickup option.

Free shipping but $100 local pickup charge? :icon_scra I guess that is from the fixed shipping cost. Not really a problem since i would come out to the store if i was ordering machinery.

Site looks great! :icon_thum Don't make that "pickup" option too convenient though. I may have to rent a storage building!

I especially like the FAQ/Help tab:gar-La;

 

[smitty62]

Congrats Rick! With your attitude and service I know you'll do well even in this economy. You've made a believer out of this old curmudgeon!:thumbs_up Take care--

PS; re your site--perhaps a little more item description?? :dontknow:

 

[SSuther]

Glad the site is up and running. Looks good. Now you all can be jealous of my living in Mooresville where the store is located. Don't be that jealous, though. Seems like I don't have the time to work wood nearly as much as I'd like. Serious purchases may have to wait until I retire- hopefully not that far away into the future.

Thanks everybody for the input & encouragement.
We're working out a few kinks, and we welcome your suggestions on making things run smoothly.
