0 Jon 533 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 Depends on your usage for one, cost of chemicals plus shipping and a kicker, most shipping/trucking companies DO NOT off load the drums, they move it to the end of truck and you have to remove it. Some might but it right on the ground but not inside your place. Try and find a local company to buy from or as I do with Zep I go to their warehouse and pick up my orders.

With diluted or pre-mixed chemicals, you end up paying shipping charges for a lot of water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
