    Webbing from Shipper's Supplies

    Does anyone have any experience with webbing bought from Shipper's Supplies?

    I have used their webbing before. I have had little problems with it but I will mention that the weave is much looser than other webbing. Nice feel and pliable, I have set up all my friends on it as well!

    I wouldn't mind getting in on a group buy. I have a lot of polypro from Strapworks which is great, but stiff.

    Group buy?

    joemcc says it's $36 for one 300' roll. It's $62.52 for two rolls. If we can get six people willing to go in on buy (five not counting me) or if anyone wants more than 100' I'll order it and get it shipped out. In order to do so I need firm commitments from all willing to participate. I'm not willing to buy more than two rolls, so if others drop in I guess they can start their own mini-group buy. There will also be the issue of shipping the webbing to you and the related cost for that. I'm willing to use the flat rate boxes if that's what everyone agrees to. It looks like the small boxes are $5.20 to ship, if it takes a medium box it's $10.95. That might be cost prohibitive. If a small flat rate box works we're looking at less than $16 each for 100'. I'm not set up to receive pay pal payments so I'll need a check. If anyone is in, PM me with your address and once we have enough for a buy I'll let you know where to send the funds. If you want more than 100' let me know in your PM.

    Thanks for the reply. For a 300 ft. roll, their price is about the same as 4 ratchet straps.

    What is the weight on that webbing, not the break strength but actual weight

    I'm also curious about the weight. Loose or not, if it serves the purpose...ha

    It's very tempting for the price. If I didn't already have extra tree huggers and webbing, I would be buying it. I'm trying hard to just keep it as a bookmark for future use.

    I am very interested. With shipping its 36 for a 300 foot roll. I was going to spend 30 just on 20feet with two triglide clips. Its 1inch polyester 1500lb breaking so it can't be to heavy. Ill save the site and might go for it in a few days.

    I will try to get some weight on some 6 foot straps. I can tell you its lighter than other straps that I have (Arrowhead, Warbonnet, Hennessy) and I think it is very similar to what Dutch is selling as well. I like it and have had no issues with it.
