    Blue Zing-It

    I just discovered that Zing-It comes in blue! How cool is that? However, my searches have revealed only one distributor and they charge $13 for shipping a 180' hank of 1.75mm. As much as I want blue, that seems a tad excessive. Their storefront on Amazon has it for $4 cheaper, but $9 shipping is still high. Does anyone have a good source for blue 1.75mm Zing-it (180')? TIA.

    $25.75 + $22.21 shipping at WesSpur. $22.21!?!?!?

    $9 is sounding pretty good now I do like the blue color.

    I ordered mine from Wesspur last year. I didn't pay that much for shipping. Maybe I had a coupon code or something.

    There is free shipping on orders over $100 if you wanted to coordinate a group buy.

    Maybe a fellow HF member lives in Bellingham, WA and could pick up and ship?

    Update: the lowest wesspur could go (to ship to Massachusetts) is $8. I'm still on the fence--how badly do I want blue?

    Evidently, I do want blue; placed my order and they'll be shipping today. Cool beans!

    Wesspur is the exclusive provider of Blue Zing-It, according to Wesspur.

    Dutch used to carry his own version of blue zing-it, but it isn't currently available. Might be something he's planning to restock.

    After my initial complaint, wesspur suggested that I call and they offered a cheaper shipping fee. The transaction took longer and required more steps than is necessary (call for a cheaper rate, email my order, call with payment info and verify order). Fulfillment was speedy. If you really want blue, try what I did. It worked for me.

    Ordered two 180' hanks Monday afternoon. Shipped from west coast that day and received on east coast Wednesday noon. Would definitely do business with wesspur again.
