    shockcord... needing some...

    Hey All,

    Was thinking of throwing some shockcord on my WB SuperFly tie-outs.

    But, for the life of me I cannot find anywhere to buy it, unless I want to buy a freaking 500 foot roll

    Any of you guys suffer through buying a 500 foot roll and want to get rid of some of that extra your never gonna use?

    John

    Shock Cord scource

    www.supplycaptain.com
    They sell it in different diameter sizes, in 100' lengths and at very reasonable rates. They ship very quickly. Just go the store link on website and look under cord. Hope this helps.

    I buy thousands of stuff a month online (I really hate shopping locally - lol), I wasn't going to screw around with a company over a 7 dollar order - just not worth it. Had another order in with another company the next week and it was in my house 3 days later. Just not worth screwing around with companies that cannot perform. Places like this are a dime a dozen anymore online. Customer loyality only extends so far as their ability to provide services.

    But, anyway, thanks for the suggestion. (and, like I said above... I'm looking for a few feet... not a hundred or five hundred feet).

    Thanks,
    John

    My experience with supplycaptain has been excellent...if you write them off, you're only hurting yourself. Has it occured to you that your order might have been shipped promptly, and then lost in transit?

    For small amounts, check out Arrowhead Equipment...Paul is a member here, and his customer service is next to none.

    My ACE hardware stocks about a dozen sizes of shock cord and sells it by the foot.
