I’m going to buy some 2’x4’ black egg crates from a company in San Antonio. They’re only $19 each but the shipping is $50-60. I talked to them and they said it doesn’t really change much if you order more. I’m curious if anybody is interested in buying some too then we prorate and split the cost of shipping. Just curious if anybody else is interested before I order this week.

Out of curiosity, what are you using that much egg crate for?
I’m using them to construct a none of your damn business castle :D:D:D:D:LOL:

Frag racks, duh. Yeah, they’re larger sheets but you get twice as much for $20 than if you bought from BRS, and it’s nice to have on hand. Plus, you can easily cut them to make smaller shapes.

LOL. Why not just by white from Home Depot? I have some I use as frag racks & they suck if you leave the stiff on them too long (like I usually do) for getting stuff off.

I’m going to order these on Monday so let me know if you want in.

Once I get the final cost with taxes and shipping, I’ll let y’all know how much to Zelle me for your egg crates.

cool. please personally deliver it to my house in missouri city promptly
Sure. You’re not going to like the surge pricing though!

Total is up to 10 sheets now, so shipping should average down to about $6 per sheet, or $25 per sheet shipped. I’ll go ahead and pull the trigger tomorrow afternoon if the lady quotes me basically the same shipping price. If it’s outrageous then I’ll contact y’all.

Alright, a total of 10 sheets were ordered for a total of $276.51, which comes out to $27.65 per sheet shipped. I’ll reach out to everyone individually for my Zelle info and totals. The sheets ship tomorrow from San Antonio so it should be a fast delivery.
