Someone had posted that on here sometime ago I did a search but coming up with nothing. I had it stored in my browser but my browser crashed.
They were selling it with free shipping on 5 gallons or so many dollars worth I can't recall.
Thanks!

you may find that your local feed store will be the same price and no waiting required.

I bought 4 gallons from them a few weeks ago (free shipping over $50). Fast shipping, nice packaging and good service. They even called to make sure everything arrived and in good shape. You'd think here in Utah you could get it cheap. Nope. Lowest I've ever encountered was $19+ and the local store is nearly $22. Glad I ordered and got the free shipping. I think the weight was around 35 lbs. I think it got here in three days from Texas. jeff

It's $18 at Tractor Supply here! Sounds like a great deal!

I pay $25|gal at my closest feed store unless I want to drive 30 miles the next closest store has it for $20. Probably because there's not a lot of equestrian activity in my area

I can get $15 at a local farm store, sometimes on sale for $13. But they never have more than 2, and take 2 weeks to restock.
I buy one now and then if I am in to buy cat liter or something else.
If I had to get 3 or more and did not want to wait weeks, I would order from here.

Thanks Daniel appreciate it and good to see some other people got tipped off as well. That outfit is probably wondering what the heck are these people doing with all that laxative? LOL.

Did work Friday morning. maybe weekend crash. Good call. Most likely answer as the site did work friday here too. I live near many equines. Laxative oil is $14/gallon here in three or four different stores. I had to visit three to get 5 gallons though. Gasoline to do that was less than $2. Got it done in less than 45 minutes.

I also leave near a bunch of equines but the nearest farm stores are over 20 miles away and generally don't have that much on hand. I have found that in this economy it's easier and often cheaper to just sit here and have stuff brought to me. FEDX really hates Walmart's free shipping over $50 lol------we have 10 cats and I have cat litter brought to the doorstep lol. Even if I might save a few bucks going to get it sometimes the time of not wasting an afternoon going to town is worth it. It's a real pain out here when you forget something so the neighbor and I use the buddy system on occasion--telling each other when we're in town if they need anything etc.

I have to agree. Sometimes waiting is better. Batteries and electronic parts way cheaper online so I never buy them locally. My daughter needed a bluetooth dongle for her laptop. $0.99 for two included postage from Hong Kong!
In my case for the oil it was the same price to just go get it less than 5 miles from home. Same price the local benefit was speed.

Granted a lot of the stuff you order isn't available here perhaps but I still don't like the whole idea around it.

Good thread, thanks! In anticipation of the new saw coming finally (yay!) I took 10 minutes of my lunch break and signed up and ordered 5 gallons. After tax it came to $76.
Including gas to drive to the lesser expensive store in my area I would have only gotten 3 gallons of oil for the same money – plus they only typically have a gallon or two in stock. I'm all for supporting brick-and-mortar stores and I do it whenever I can but this one is a no-brainer.
