I asked the folks at AndyMark for a quote and they informed me that for larger crate orders they are offering a discount of %10 so for the $1200 of totes that I need I got $120 off.... shipping is what it is... I am sure they will look for the best way.

We ended up with a quote for $1872.39 for 72 Gray Totes and 3 Yellow ones delivered to Seattle WA. Shipping for them was $727.39. This is the basic setup for a half field. (including the common totes on the center wall) with 2 spares.

We do a common practice field for the use of area teams so we want to have the real stuff. After all, this is what we fundraise for. Usually the game pieces are more limited...

After the season is over we will use a few and see if other teams/individuals want to purchase a few. We already have one team that is chipping in $250 for 10 totes. We will see if we can find a few more. Unfortunately many of the teams around here are having a tough enough time coming up with basic expenses. We are blessed on our team with a great group of parents, mentors and students who work very hard to help us fundraise. Our PTSA really helps us a great deal.

For us the cost is about $25 per tote. That is actually less than the quote we got earlier for just the totes with NO shipping.

Thank you so much AndyMark!!!

Good luck to everyone!!
