hmjgriffon you just need to order $500 worth of stuff from Nelly's and you get free shipping.
Plus you get awesome service. I won't get into a battle with anyone over companies but I have only ordered from another company for my ip cameras once...(sorry Ryan) and the service was awful. So I will take my extra $100 per camera and spend it at Nellys!
If you are referring to buying from Chinese sellers over-seas where it takes like a month to get your stuff and you don't know what back alley they work out of, I fully agree there. I'm willing to pay more to get my stuff in a few days and know that I have someone to go after. I am not ragging on nelly's, the times I have emailed their customer service with questions before I ever spent a dime they got right back to me. I will say when I ordered my last camera I paid for 2-3 day shipping, I ordered on a friday, and it didn't even go out till like lunch time on monday, whereas the first camera I ordered from them was amazon prime through amazon warehouse deals, which I assume nellys ships stuff to them, and it went out within a few hours, like all of my orders with amazon prime. I suppose I can't really compare their shipping department which is probably the front desk girl, to the machine that is amazon though. But if another company is in the US, will give me the same or as good of service and save me a little money, I have to at least consider them.
