We've been looking everywhere for a light gray METAL 2 drawer file cabinet for Art's office ever since we had to take our good deal termite inhabited Craig's List wooden file cabinet to the dump. Everybody is out of them. (gray file cabinets NOT termites. Termites we've all got lots of them.) We've checked Office Depot, Office Max and a couple of other office furniture type places. Not only do they not have them but they're expensive! Yes... yes... I understand the shipping cost and all, but sheesh! $250 for a 2 drawer legal file cabinet? Puuuhlease!Both Office Max and Depot advertised sales in the Sunday paper on the file cabinets but when I called they said they didn't have the light gray in stock. My brother tells me light gray is now the out color and that putty is in. Sigh. But we want the gray. I don't know why, but we just prefer the gray. They didn't have it last week either.
Office Max told me that the Hon cabinet would be $163 (the SALE price!). I told her it was listed as $109 on the Office Max website. She said it was because of shipping. Made sense... I guess.
HOWEVER... I decided to try out the site anyway. I put the cabinet in my cart and started to check out just to see what the shipping cost would be. Surprise! It said FREE SHIPPING. Riiiight! I've been fooled by that before. After you hopefully put in your address, a warning will come out that it's free shipping only in the contiguous U.S.. NOT applicable for Alaska or Hawaii.
Instead, when I put our address in, it said that shipping would take 6-8 weeks for Alaska and Hawaii. I was still holding my breath looking at the shipping order and waiting for the added cost. Then it appeared! $5.18 for TAX. Hmmmm? And shipping still says FREE.
I click the ORDER button and off it goes. Can it be? We're actually buying the Hon, light gray, legal, 2 drawer file cabinet for $115.17? Free shipping? This is a first!
I wonder if I should have gotten the putty... or maybe the black instead... I wonder how light that gray is... I wonder if it'll be dented when we get it... Will it be the right size?... ARRGHHHHH! I hate buying things on-line.
