[FTC]: Ordering crates from USP!

[VashonRobotics]

If you order from USP Home (as suggested in the FIRST Complete Build Guide www.USPHome.com) the shipping might be outrageous! We wanted 6 crates and they wanted $18.00 to ship! However when we went to their other site, US Plastic (www.usplastic.com) the shipping went to just over $4! Same company, different websites (even though they look the same). Has anyone else noticed or did we just read this wrong?

Good to know. I cancelled my purchase for the same reason this evening. I'll try again tomorrow using the link you suggested.

Fleet Farm $1.19 each

WalMart stores. Sterilite CD/DVD Crates (identical to the clear ones in the game). Only issue is that the crates are solid colors (red, blue, black). But we've seen them on sale for $1.00 each.

We were able to find them at Fred Meyer in WA for $2 each.

The game designers looked into solid red & blue crates, but they determined the white ones with colored tape would make it easier for the audience to see which were inverted vs. upright.

The colored ones (available at Wal-mart (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-Small-Crate-Boy-Blue/17126919)) are fine for practice.
