Have been calling around for glass quotes...

Avrus:
I didn't think getting the glass the cabinet would be this difficult.  I'm going for 1/4" 26" x 27" #14 greylite tempered, and if you can believe it ... so far the cheapest price is from Washington, shipped via FedEx to Calgary.

Wtf?

One of the glass suppliers here quoted me $146. 

How could it possibly be cheaper for me to buy it from the US, ship it via Fedex, and still be cheaper (and faster mind you) than local suppliers.

Is there some sort of sand shortage going on that I'm not aware of?  Sheesh.   :banghead:

Markups. 

We talked about this in a thread a few years ago.  Same thing happens around here.  The places you are calling most likely are getting the glass from somewhere else.  Seems to be the closer you live to a big city the more it happens.  By ordering online, you are cutting out the middleman.

yeah - I wouldn't get it tempered unless it's for a cocktail cabinet.

Avrus:
Well how much can it add to the price?  I mean so far the cheaper local supplier prices are the same as the price shipped from Washington, only 3 - 4 weeks longer.
