The Website site below in our signature takes the place of the 15 yr old site that you may be familiar with. On this new E-Commerce site, we have the Lower 48 divided into 4 Zones and Store Pickup. All you need to do is pick your shipping zone from the map and then click on that Zone in the menu on the left side of the screen. All new and used equipment will be priced in the categories in the Zone specifically for you. Shipping is priced into all products shipped to your or your Friends Downtown Commercial Business address or Picked up at a Truck Terminal Near you. To determine where the truck terminals are in your area, simply click on "Terminal Locations" and we will answer that question for you. If you need Farm/Residential Delivery, just click the Extra Truck Services you may need listed in with each implement's page.
We have checked and we are confident that we can be competitive with any Ag Implement E-Commerce website on the web. Please be patient with us as we continue to add 100-150 more products to the site.
Greg and Myself appreciate any feedback that you may have. Thanks to all of you guys for 35 years of continued support. May God Bless You. Ken Sweet

CBW1999, Your input is much appreciated. Our main objective was to do our best to make shopping for a implement fair, simple and easy for all purchasers, no matter what state they were in. If you want to pickup at the store, you have our best price. If you live anywhere in the lower 48, you have our best delivered price on anything on the website. Ken Sweet

Ken,

What carrier are you using to ship products? FedEx allows you to have your web site / cart directly integrated with their system to provide address-level real-time shipping estimates. Zones are great for delivery *times*, but they leave a lot to be desired when calculating costs... especially on heavier items.

I am in the process of designing / developing an eCommerce site for another vendor right now, and would be happy to set up a demo for you if you wanted to see how it works. PM for more details.

Mark, In order for us to get the very lowest shipping rates for our customers and also provide a variety of terminal locations close to the customer, we use 5 different online freight brokers and all brokers and carriers are allowed to compete for our shipments. This method is by far the most time consuming method for us, however, it always saves our customers a great deal of money on shipping costs. Ken Sweet

Ah... So, it sounds like you ship to a "depot" of sorts, and the customer picks up from there?

I enjoyed the new site. It has definitely been improved and simplified in regards to shipping. Best wishes.

Oh No! We have terminal pickup as only 1 option for the customer. He can have business delivery, farm or residential delivery and a host of any many extra services he may need. BTW, we use Fed Ex every time they are competitive in the lane being shipped. Ken Sweet

Yikes! Could you make the zone map a little smaller? This is how it looks in my browser (Firefox). BTW: The zone map looks like it was drawn by a 3 year old.

Ken, look at the round baler/rake prices and you'll see a mistake on the figures. Most of those are :Our Price: $1,234,567.00. Other than that you have really made the web site much better.
