    I just delivered my second load ever of Fan fold to a Lowes store/warehouse in Lansing Mi. Oh the humanity.... The forklift driver thought I was nuts when I started talking about what can be done with this stuff. :shock: ... A phlat what? :lol:

    Frank - you delivered the FFF??
    And you didn't retain a few hundred bundles so your PhlatBuddies could help you "test and validate the quality and consistent manufacturing standards" of the products you deliver to Lowe's?
    What were you thinking? :eek:

    ;)

    holy cow! I never considered that. How selfish of me. :lol: I will find a way of waylaying some of those though. :twisted:

    Just a 4X4X4 pallet (for each of us) - is that too much to ask? :p :lol:

    Frank - The next store you deliver to, ask if they'd like to become the "suggested supplier" for FFF users across the entire country. There are many pp owners who don't have a supplier available, but if "we" could find a store that is willing to ship "special orders" to a store near the buyer, their name and glory would be shared among the 100+ willing customers. And learn if they would have a minimum order size (four fifty-foot bundles?)

    I had 22 pallets on plus some pallets of roofing shingles. Quite a mix. That is the second time I have delivered that stuff. Usually another driver will drop it in our yard and someone else will complete delivery at a more convenient time. I'll have to nose around the front offices next time as they unload and see what I can find out. Not to often I get a short run like that. Pays good though. :)

    Frank, The wind could blow some of that fanfold off your truck right next to Phlatboyz HQ along your route :D
    It can be quite windy here, when needed :)

    I heard from a few places that the Lowes in our area may be stocking the stuff again. A smaller store mainly aimed at contractors has the stuff but it is $50 a bundle :eek:

    I did call Dow to see where the closest place to get FFF to me was. The lady offered a few alternate products. I told her I was using it for something other than the intended purpose, and needed the Fan Fold. She then asked me if it was to make radio controlled planes. She told me 90% of the calls she gets asking where to buy Fan Fold are from guys using it for R/C planes.
