I don't know if we can make this happen due to shipping costs but I'm willing to try.

I can get my hands on a decent amount of extension cord packs. Each is a three pack. The cords are metric in length so each is just a little less than 6', 10' and 16'. They are "indoor" in that they are not grounded and are white in color. I can get the exact lenghts and other details if there is interest.

At a quick glance and looking at the west coast the total cost shipped UPS will be about $1.50 average per cord in a quantity of 48 including purchase price, tax, and shipping. There may be a cheaper way to ship but I don't know for sure. This is more than the "pink" cords but many will be longer than 6' so maybe this is a decent deal to someone. BTW, I'm not trying to make anything off of this. I'm going to get at least 48 and will probably get more like 96.

Is there any interest?

Check into shipping rates for Fedex. I have found that (at least for me) they are the least expensive when shipping heavy compact packages.

Shippings the bummer..
Here at a local dollar store 6ft - 12ft are 1$
25 ft are 2$ these cords are verry cheap
thin wire but will work fine for what we do.
and they are green.....

These look pretty good actually, maybe heavier than the dollar special store stuff and the pack has different lenghts. I like it better but I think the shipping is a killer. They are a good price like I get them but not so good after shipping.

Anyway, if someone can't get them for a buck each or need different lengths I can see how I can ship cheaper like maybe Fedex. Let me know. They are selling them but I suspect it will take awhile before they are gone. They have probably a couple hundred packs. BTW, this is a surplus type store that has them.

Cheers
John

Not sure if this matters but I finally took the time to look at the cords closer. They are 16g wire so they are heavier than the cheapo cords from the dollar store which is also why I can't ship them for as cheap as the pink cords. Oh well. Great deal for me but probably not so good shipped unless you need to push more than 10 amps which most of us don't.

Didn't see your post till just now, sorry for the delay.

I'm not sure how many will fit. Do you know off hand the dims for the fixed rate box? I can still get some but most are sold now. If we want to make this happen we need to do it soon. Shoot me your email in a PM and we can see what we can do.
