It's my first time ordering from them!! But alot of his stuff is less, and in some cases you get more quantity of a product for less also.

Now powder paint!!!!!!!

if you are ordering alot of stuff, there will probably be some backordered stuff too, so just keep your invoice handy, you may have to email him a couple weeks down the road to remind him of the backordered stuff. he is a good guy, but he has a full time job too and that keeps him spread out sometimes.

Yeah I heard about that part. The one thing that did bug me was I didn't get the option of choosing what shipper I wanted - UPS has been a major PITA!!!!!!!!!!! about leaving stuff outside my door even though I have it set up for them to give it to the PO if I'm not home.

That's really important with my wifes insulin - they delivered her new insulin pump which had to be signed for!!! and left the box in the rain out side the door. When she called they said SHE signed for it at 1pm that afternoon even though she was 40 miles away at work!!! Finally caught the guy who forged her signature - but they did it again last night - got home and there's a box from Uline with my clear cups just sitting on the porch!!!!!!!!!! I haven't called them yet!!!!!!!!!!!

Just placed my first order with grandpa bobs on the 6th, when I check on status of my order it still says processing???? I do like the great prices but are the orders not shipped until you contact him???? My order is rather small, well 900 hooks, if that is small. Kinda expected to have them by now or atleast see that they have shipped. I guess I better send him a reminder.

Yep, I already sent an email so I will wait a day and see if I hear back, if not I will call...just looked and there is a phone number listed, so that is good.

Grandpa Bobs is quick to ship so if it is taking a few days to process, it means what you want is out of stock. I got one order 3 days after placing it, the next order I waited 3 weeks until the items came in but he did repond to an email. I got 14 spools of thread, Danville flymaster 210 for 80 cents a spool, you will have a hard time beating that price!!!

what the....I place my order for 400 size 1 hooks and 400 size 2 hooks and 100 size 4 hooks, that is all! I ordered on the 6th never heard anything so I emailed on the 14th. He emailed and said size 4 are back ordered....I emailed back and said to replace the size 4's with size 1's and go ahead and send. Have not heard from him since and account on his webpage still shows processing??? looks like I had better place my orders by phone from here on out!!!
