How much would you pay to get FREE shipping for a year?

How much would you pay for a service that gave you free shipping for a year?

[Matt@Excellart]

This is an intersting topic. Generally, I would say I would not pay anything additional for free UPS Ground. However, paying a little bit for a 2 day delivery might be worth it. I guess it would come down to how much supplies I was ordering. If this is something I order in larger quanities on a regular basis then I would hope shipping would be covered anyways. I suppose you would have to look at the costs of shipping a product versus paying an additional fee for free shipping every time.

I'm a regular customer of Amazon.com Right now I pay an additional $75 a year to get 2 day on anything I buy that they distribute or take over as another vendor. it's called Amazon Prime. I joined during the Christmas Holiday to assure i get the gifts fast, but it's been a benefit even for my business as well

Thanks for the feedback Erik... so you get where we are going. All of AxiomLED products will be available online at Amazon.com soon.

Here is our current offering: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=axiomled&x=0&y=0

And for $79 per year you can have FREE SHIPPING and delivery in 2 days... not bad. So once again - why buy from Distribution?

Just what we need more opportunities for a dumb ass to go online to order professional supplies to become a self made hack.

Yep, now the sign service guys can be eliminated from the equation altogether. Might as well post a DIY video on YouTube too.

Another step in the wrong direction for the sign industry.

I get what Axiom is doing.

I do think Distribution is important.

Well a STOCKING distributor is important.

I cover ground on all my sign customers.

Anything faster and they foot the bill.

[Camelot Sign]

A STOCKING Distributor being the key here.

And do you think it is bad form for us to have a YouTube video that has over 25,000 views that generates new customers all the time? I just think the times have changed and it is time for people to realize "things aren't the way the use to be"

If the videos are "how to" sign component retrofit oriented and offered up for "anyone " to purchase at wholesale prices than hell yeah it's bad form , especially if you want to keep a loyal customer base from people earning a living in the sign industry.

If your just marketing your "end of the world" survival kits than I say have at it.

True I won't buy from a mfg. that backdoors me by selling direct to my customers.
