Free Shipping? No Sales Tax? Best Price Guarantee?

FREE SHIPPING?

It seems like these days that everyone who shops on-line expects Free Shipping. While Free Shipping really does exist through larger retailers like Wal-Mart, Kohl's and Target where the majority of the items they sell are shipped UPS or USPS, they also offer deep discounts for orders that are shipped to the nearest store.

However, Free Shipping is a lot more difficult in this particular industry where many of the products and equipment sold are very large or heavy and require special freight considerations. In this industry, it's really difficult to advertise free shipping without adding the shipping cost into the product. Many retailers will pad the included shipping cost in a way that they make money on the shipping of almost all of their sales, while breaking even on the others.

You might be shopping for a particular item where the merchant offers Free Shipping, but when you compare that same or similar item to another merchant, you might find out that you would be better off paying the shipping and still get a better overall price. This is because the merchant offering the Free Shipping might have built-in the added shipping cost into the price of the item. Sneaky you say? Not really, this pricing practice has been around as long as the internet and will always be until consumers begin to start asking questions and become more knowledgeable.

Our policy is, and has always been to offer our customers the best overall value, which includes Selection, Price, Quality and Service. Our "Real Time Freight Calculator" gives you the actual freight cost we pay, (Many companies mark-up their shipping costs to make more profits), we do not mark-up freight prices in an effort to make extra profits on shipping. From time to time, we offer select products on our site that are marked as "Shipping Included". These products are considered a "Special Value" and we have built the shipping cost into the overall product cost simplifying your on-line purchase.

Our recommendation? Do your home work, compare the "Final Price" of the item your interested in and if need be, shop around! If you believe that you're really getting the best price, make your purchase with confidence that you are getting the best overall deal. All I'm saying is "COMPARE THE BOTTOM LINE AND SEE WHERE YOUR BEST DEAL IS".

NO SALES TAX?

Because we are a United States based company located in KANSAS, we are bound by certain tax regulations that require us to charge sales tax in the state where our corporate office is located. We do not charge sales tax anywhere expect in Kansas currently. Tax regulations are being monitored closely and are subject to change if Congress gets their way. Let's hope they don't and until then we will continue to only charge sales tax in Kansas unless our Kansas customers are tax exempt. (Please call in your order if you are exempt)

BEST PRICE GUARANTEE?

YES! Our policy is that if you find the exact item for less at any of our competitors, we will match OR BEAT the price! We are confident that when you compare our "Bottom Line" total prices, you will find that Asphalt Sealcoating Direct will be your preferred supplier of asphalt and sealcoating products and equipment.
