[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 526662, member: 483"] I had a new experience this morning. Last night I submitted a freight quote on both freightcenter.com and freightquote.com. I've used freightcenter.com before, they've always been the cheapest and last night was no exception. Freightcenter.com came out to $337 and freightquote.com was $437. Both quotes were too high to make the deal worthwhile so I just wrote them both off assuming the deal wasn't meant to be. But this morning my rep at freightcenter.com calls me and tells me that he can get my quote down to $279. That was great, getting closer to the territory I would think about it at. I was still waiting on a quote from fastenal though so I told him I would call him back. 10 minutes later someone from freightquote.com calls and says that he will beat freightcenter.com and sends me a quote for $245. I thougth wow, freightcenter.com has always been good to work with so why don't I give them one last chance. I forward them the quote from freightquote.com and he says he thinks he can now get down to $243. I'm thinking that's going to be my rock-bottom. My intent wasn't to start a bid war. I had given up on the deal. But the bid war that happened has resulted in the deal being revived. Just thought I would share my story. Fastenal just emailed me back saying they can't ship from where I am shipping from for some reason so they didn't even submit a bid. [/QUOTE]
