Drawer Slides

[Mike Goetzke]

I'm looking to build a dresser and need 6-pairs of 563H Blum undermount slow-close slides (18"). I haven't bought these in a while so wondering where is the best place to purchase them. I see Amazon has them for $180 with all the hardware but wondering if there is a better price elsewhere.

Thanks

cabinetparts.com has them for 130.68 for a contractor pack of 6. Note that you have to buy the clips seperately at 98 cents each plus shipping.

A&H Turf (ahturf.com) has them for about the same price as cabinetparts.com.  No sales tax, shipping may be lower one way or the other depending on where you live.  A&H ships fast and is closer, so when I place an order in the morning, I generally see it in two days.  I have received an order next-day, but I would guess that was a fluke.

A & H Turf is my vendor of choice too.

I do have issues with their website, however.

The photo that accompanies the part description is not always correct.  Is the part description correct? Or is the photo?

I resolved that by downloading and printing the entire Blum catalog.  So I go to the site armed with the correct Blum part numbers.  If I am still unsure, they always answer the phone.

I don’t know how they get away with not charging the sales tax.  I wonder if some time in the future, New York State audits their books and sends me an invoice for owed sales tax.

But a solid vendor.

Note:  They carry some stuff that I could not find on their website. The last time a Blum Posi-drive screwdriver. But phone call revealed that they had it in stock and at a good price.

My advice:  If you are not sure, pick up the phone.  It is disappointing that they did not make the corrections when the errors were pointed out to them.

I like A&H Turf as well.  I was visiting in Billings in the beginning of this month and made it a point to stop by their store.  They have an extensive section of Festool items, (better than any in my neck of the woods), as well as lots of other stationary and portable power tools.  I believe they had most all of the usual industrial brands.  I picked up a couple of the contractor packs of Blum undermounts for a project in mind. 

I also came across these Bessey pump action clamp,https://www.amazon.com/Bessey-STE25...Qi-U3Oy9d5BYeYg7oM&dib_tag=se&keywords=bessey+extension+poles&qid=1717193948&sprefix=bessey+extension+poles%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-7
Much nicer than the 3rd Hand ones I've used in the past.  They were also considerably lower priced than Amazon.

Just a follow-up. I ended up buying the slides from A&H Turf. It was a toss up. In the past I used CSH and Amazon and they all were within $10 for 6 sets of the slides. The A&H Turf looked really good until you add the shipping which seemed a bit high plus I’m finding out it takes them about a week to ship them to me. My CSH and Amazon would have been a couple of days.
