I was going to give it a try as they sell a 5-color sample pack (.2kg of each) for the same price. But shipping was $12.97 which brought my total to $31.97. Not worth it to me. I'll have to see if buying a few spools will lower the shipping cost/kg. If not, then it's not worth it to me.

EDIT: I went back to the store and figured I'd just add another spool (Purple sounded nice). So now I had 2 kg in my cart totally $38.00. When I got to the checkout it said, "Unfortunately, we don't have a cost for shipping that weight to your location. Please contact the store manager".

I guess they're just getting started, but so far, I'm not really excited by the store :-P

I'll wait to hear whether anyone else has any luck with the filament.

Hey guys, I represent Push Plastic. We just found out that the shipping options on our site have been down for about a week or so. Right now, our shipping is calculated based on the distance from us (Arkansas). So $12.77 is the maximum price, and that is to California, Oregon, Washington, etc. We realize that these shipping prices are driving customers away, so we are in the process of changing our pricing structure to offer free shipping.

Also, we are on Amazon, offering 1kg reels for $29 with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_indus ... e=16310091

UPDATE: Our store is now set up to match our Amazon price: $29 per reel with FREE SHIPPING!

We would love to send you samples of our filament if you would like to test it out.

Thanks!
PushPlastic
