Gas cabinet and storage bay springs

July 04, 2020, 03:10:39 pm

I was surprised that FOT was so competitively priced on their gas filled springs for the overhead cabinets and the storage bays.
They were better priced than most of the on line places and had them in stock, club discount, no sales tax and no shipping charge,
$12.85 for the cabinet ones and $14.38 for the 90 lb springs less 10%.
It's really amazing that they still try and carry parts for out old units. Forest River does not have parts for units that are 5 years old!
I bought them from the factory because it's a fantastic resource and wonderful that they want to keep the parts!

The shipping charge is sometimes as much as the item I buy.

Maybe that is changing. I ordered a part the other day and Brad asked if usps was ok and I said yes. So only a little over 3.00 instead of 12-15 by ups. Very happy

Had the same experience with Brad as Red Tractor.  He saved me a few bucks on shipping.

All good things come to an end, the invoice in the box was for the product, the invoice received a week later (last Thursday) included the shipping,
As the French say, "C'est la vie"

I bought my gas springs from FOT. The prices were excellent and the shipping was fast. Highly recommend buying from FOT.
