dj_giantti Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I have been looking for places on the net that can get southdown sand. I need about 300 pounds of it. I have found that HD has it on the east coast. I was just seeing if anymore had and connections at HD that would alow the west coast to get some. ok so here is a list dj_gianotti 400 pounds 10 bags Garrett 480 pounds 12 bags Danik 240 pounds 6 bags Total 1120 pounds 28 bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowpunk Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I thought a bag was 50# for some reason. I am gonna need 7 maybe 8 bags I think. I have a friend not on the forum that may need 3 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 So did you get HD to agree to do this? Do they even still carry it? (I've seen posts that indicate they may not) If not you undermined the work I've been putting into trying to get a group buy going to no avail, If you have then this is great news. Arsonmfg, that price is high. I've found it for less per bag and a good bit closer than New Jersey. Still not close enough as the shipping is still outrageous even if I order a ton of it. (Until this thread I had enough interest to order at least a ton and perhaps more once a group buy was started) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowman Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Some members of the club put together a buy on Southdown a few years ago. I don't remember what or who all did it, but it went well from what I recall. maybe someone will chime in who took part last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_c55 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I could use 8 depending on price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick, you obviously seem to know more about this stuff than most... I would think if you were able to order enough of it you could have it shipped freight through a shipping company for a decent price if you could get someone to load it on a pallet so it could be shipped properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
