content: Sorry if this is the wrong sub section to post this in. I did some searching and saw Dave post a mention about an Amazon coupon but I can find no such thing.The cheapest I can find at the moment is Tequipment with their $359 price tag minus the eevblog discount of 6% making it $338. I'm not sure if the discount is still valid either.I know you can find them on ebay, but I'd rather not roll the dice and get a pre-GMS fix model. Thanks.

content: The Tequipment discount is still valid. I have used it several times in the last 2 months.

content: Quote from: wilheldp on January 21, 2014, 06:04:32 pmSince Amazon is still missing fromhttp://en-us.fluke.com/where-to-buy/and Tequipment is listed as an authorized dealer, it seems logical to go with the latter to get the "lifetime" warranty.

content: I bought this from TEQ on Tuesday with the 6% discount. They do have top notch service, same place I bought my DS2072 this summer. Great price, and their customer service is very fast, really enjoy doing business with them.Only gripe is free shipping is UPS ground, I don't think USPS priority would be much more especially with flat rate boxes now. Thanks.

content: USPS is a little high on purpose. I will explain. We keep stock on about 3M dollars worth of items. But when we have to DS often USPS is not supported by manufactures so it causes a bunch of issues. We didnt want to get rid of USPS because of the Military APO boxes and some rural addresses need it so we wanted it to be slightly more than 3 day shipping from UPS. Tracking is also spotty and can cause customer service issues when something is lost or cant be tracked. It makes the company look bad.Anyways hope this helps. Thanks for the business.Evan CirelliVice President
