Hey cool...I think I got a direct mail piece from them recently advertising 98 cent 5 gallon screens. I definitely plan on putting an order in with them. Would be nice to see a little more selection as mentioned though.

I just ordered some drops and runners from them. I like to keep them on hand for walking in and out of occupied homes to keep the carpet clean. Snowy weather is upon us.
The drops and runners were super cheap, I thought, but the shipping was a tad more than I had anticipated.

I called these guys, really helpful and nice. Bought the Wooster Super Fab covers at half the price of what I pay at my local shop. The prices are really, really good, hope they stay around a while! My order shipped the same day. Has anyone else ordered from them?

What I can tell you is that over the last two days they have been watching this thread closely and making changes based on your feedback. They are very responsive.
Based on your feedback they changed to a simple sliding scale for shipping costs:
I think one of the owners is going to register and answer questions for you guys soon.

I placed an order today. Finally got some of those wooster 50/50's PWG likes to rave about. After using the SW 50/50 naps for over a year, I think I'm gonna try these. Prices are nice here, so I bought a case of em. Also picked up a case of roller screens, a box of butyl runners, and a case of sanding sponges. Didn't even get in the van to go to the paint store, hah! I like this place....Buying supplies here is a no brainer. Even with shipping I'm sure I've come out way ahead of what my local stores would do for me and I didn't have to ASK, BEG, or anything. Just got a great price for shopping!

More selection would be great. Things I personally would like to see them offer (although I may be the only one, lol).
Brushes could be in more sizes (my fav is only in the 2.5).
Better selection of extension poles. They don't carry any I would use.
Nothing for a "big bad" 18" guys either (buckets, wide boys, naps).
Better tools (5/1s, caulking guns, puddy knifes, window glazing tools, ect)
Those aren't all that important as we all already have most of what we need in our favorite brands, but come replacement time...

What are you guys paying for Wooster 50/50 1/2" at the local paint stores where your at? On this site there $3.94 per for a case of 10, I've never bought the 50/50s but this has to be a good price, no?
.98 for a 5er screen I know is good.
I would like to see some purdy pro extra glide 3" brushes, as well as the purdy pros angle brushes.
Me thinks if these arn't intro rates on these supplies I will be changing my buying habits.
