We get pretty close to that price, just depends on what shipping comes out to. We offer a discount and whatever Deaver charges for shipping, we only pass on that amount. I have NEVER quoted anyone a shipping rate of $300, that's just crazy!
If you are close to Deaver, we can even do a will call where we can save you some money on the leafs and you can pick them up, no charge. We can even have Deaver put on the shipping that you will take them out of the freight truck, as long as you can be there upon delivery so save on lift gate fees. This is not always guaranteed as it depends on the local freight company for your area.
And we have been a FRF supporting vendor since 2012 and also an authorized Deaver dealer.
