Just FYI:
I was looking up the price of a WR Long grapple just for the heck of it on everthingattachments.com, and noticed that the price was considerably more that what I paid when I bought mine through my local dealer. I was curious as to why it was so much more? I realized that when I figured in the shipping cost that I had to pay, it was actually pretty close, but still a couple hundred over which is understandable because they need to make their money too.
However, I started looking around their website and found out that they don't actually have free shipping within 1000mi, it's just that they quote the cost of the item with shipping already included. It makes sense because I know those heavy objects are expensive to ship, so I always wondered how they could make any money by offering 'free' shipping.
Seems like more of a marketing gimic to me but I still like how the price you see on the website is the total cost with shipping included, it takes away the inconvenience of trying to figure out what your actually paying including shipping.
