Aloha woodworkers for those of us who live "outside the contiguous states" i.e.. Hawaii and Alaska. In the latest issue of WOOD magazine the advertising by "Pennstateindustries" for clamps is false. Stated very clearly in the bottom left corner; Free shipping on clamp orders over $100". There is no qualifier about the contiguous states. I tried to place an order and was refused free shipping.

While the ad didn't state that (and it should have), you weren't surprised were you? After all, what do you want??? Free shipping AND paradise? Sheez! :-)

I'd probably get back to them and mention things like "false advertsing", "truth in advertising", etc. Maybe mention whatever office covers that stuff. Might get your free shipping then. Once. Next ads will probably have the disclaimer. Be polite.

I'm sure all the Hawaiians thanked that official for his pronouncement.
