    I’m not saying no, I’ll have to look into the options. What’s your zip code?

    Companies posting prices less than MSRP are breaking Dometic’s MAP policy which is illegal and Dometic will shut them down as a vendor for their product.

    The loophole is companies are “selling” to “other” companies (which is usually another company they own or a partner company, both of which aren’t official Dometic vendors) and then posting and selling at a lower price.

    It ends up hurting the people that follow the rules.

    It’ll never “be a couple hundred less” because all resellers pay the same cost for the product and the same shipping rates. The reseller margins aren’t high enough to go any lower.

    The point of us doing this is to still offer a lower price than anywhere else because we have the opportunity to do so. If you want to pay more and get it in two days then by all means, do it. We are simply offering a better deal for the patient people.

    Edit: Lastly, you have to think about warranty. If there is an issue, you can call us. We are an authorized service center too so even if you don’t buy it from us, we will service it. More often than not when bought through resellers on Amazon, it’s difficult to get them do anything for you when there are issues with the product. At least that’s what we’ve seen and experienced when people have contacted us for repairs (which has been few because Dometic makes a really nice product).

    When using a % discount on a BG item, the discount should ALWAYS be off MSRP. Regardless if people pay MSRP or not.

    1. This prevents confusion on which pricing the discount is based off - The vendor's? Amazon? The manufacturer?
    2. Also, Once everyone has a basis for the discount, it can be compared across all other vendors - Amazon, Ebay, Etc.
    3. 20% off discount on Dometic is usually only done on Black Fridays and Xmas sales, making this a great deal.
    4. Definitely worth the wait - Money is money. - I've done enough group buys to see people wait to save $20 compared to Amazon AND support a Tacomaworld Vendor.

    There's a guy on 4runners.com that is inquiring about hawaiian shipping.

    It would probably be cheaper to combine shipping costs and ship to a central location.

    Right.

    Regardless, all fridges would go to one location if you guys want to save on shipping.

    Then Island hop to pick it up.

    The other option would be to just not ship together.

    I'm interested... however, shipping estimate didn't seem to work on your website. What would be the shipping cost for the 75l to 97132
