Lake Charles Manufacturing


I've done business with these folks 4 times now. Prices and service are GREAT. I just received a 1000, 500, 250, 100, 50 set of beakers and a 100, 50, 25 ml graduated cylinder set for $17.40 US post paid. Karter Scientific glass.

Unfortunately shipping is not postpaid. Just a couple of items (beakers) ran shipping up to over $18.00.

Wait, what? When I put in that same order it says that it's $17.40 without shipping. When I add the cheapest available shipping to it, it jumps to $36.90. Did you get free shipping somehow?

Edit: highpower48 beat me to it

Yeah, they want $21.81 for the same order to ship it to me. He must have some kind of offer code to enter. I can't see how he got the free shipping.

Heard of google? I have.

http://stores.ebay.com/Lake-Charles-Manufacturing

I'm pretty sure it's going to be cheaper to buy through their site and not ebay. The ebay prices have free shipping sure, but the ebay transaction fee and shipping cost are built into the price.

Compare the 500ml Low Form beaker. On ebay it is $7.59. On their site, it is $2.16. Even if the shipping is double the cost of the item, it's still cheaper on the site.

There is also the glass manufacturer, http://www.kartersci.com/. They seem to be the same company (or at least two legal entities owned by the same people) since they have the same address and phone number. I don't see any advantage to ordering from the kartersci site though.

I bought a few things from Scientific Equipment of Houston, they sell on Amazon, Ebay, and via their own website as well, similar pricing to Lake Charles, but they sell actual Pyrex brand beakers and such for a really good price. They show free shipping over $75 currently.

I don't like SEOH - they are overpriced and can't always deliver.
