Dang what time did you order? I guess your day starts a little earlier than mine. But I agree.

So I just got off the phone with Chris and I ordered the raw OPOR sliders.
Originally the shipping to Virginia was $444. That wasn’t going to work, after taking to Chris and understanding the limitations of the size of sliders and what UPS will allow, I proposed to Chris that each slider be shipped independently and the hardware will be independent as well. Metal tech agreed to this, and the shipping to VA came out to be $206 via UPS ground. He asked me to let y’all know that could be an option for everyone and to call them and either Chris or John and run that quote for you.
Hopefully we hit 50 orders and the 100 shipping credit will hit back. Chris said we should be at 20% by end of day. He also said he had a good amount of raw sliders and my wait shouldn’t be long.

Gotcha. Looks like @TTViper has provided updated info on the shipping costs and I will see if I can get a better quote. Otherwise, I may still be interested on combining with your friend.
Well damn. I don’t feel nearly as cool now since mine have already shipped.
Hi everyone! WOW! alot of slider interest here! Thank you all!
I have made some adjustments to our shipping calculator on the website to allow raw steel sliders to go UPS Ground or LTL, not just LTL as it was previously. So if you are interested try the order again on the website and click "view cart", choose "estimate shipping" and you should be getting a more reasonable rate through UPS.
Please contact us directly if you have any other questions. We are happy to help! 503-822-1111 or info@metaltech4x4.com. Thanks!

You guys rock, thanks!
WOW! 20% Tier Reached! Keep spreading the word to get to the next tier for the $100 shipping credit. Thank you all!
Amazing customer service! Order shipped as well, thank you!
Ordered.
UPS Shipping is now an option (and the cheapest) for raw sliders.

Just ordered mine. One more thing to do before HIH8.

Wow! Mine will arrive by Saturday and I was worried that I wouldn't get them on by Hih8 in July . Very impressed!
What? Damn Aaron, they must know your kind of a big deal. I wonder when I’ll get mine. I need to check.

Haha, I wish that was the case. I think it may have something to do with me not sleeping last night and trying to get a set after midnight even though the code wasn't working.
I'm sure they are dealing with many different questions and issues throughout many different groups and have responded to more than one email from me alone. Its my first purchase through Metal Tech and I would have to say that the customer service has been top notch.
On a side note for anyone that is short on cash...
I use a company called Affirm to make purchases for the cruiser when I'm a little strapped but would like to get in on a good deal. They have an app that you can download that makes it pretty simple. I'm not affiliated in any way, but would be happy to answer questions anyone would have on how it works. Decent rates and terms.

I placed my order for the OPOR raw sliders tonight. $924.81 including shipping to a residence. Like most April's I am waiting for a refund of some mystery amount. Come on 20% + $100 shipping credit!!! That will put it at $689.82 and leave $10.18 for a couple cans of Rustoleum
***UPDATE 5/1 received e-receipt from MetalTech 4x4 for $857.31 which reflects a $67.50 reduction from full price. Likely reduced shipping as it shows UPS and 3 boxes as mentioned in this thread or the initial 10% off sliders - not enough details to determine. I suppose/expect that when GROUPBUY18 completes I will receive additional discounts including shipping. Can't wait to get them. They will blend in with my upper and lower MT4x4 rear control arms. Great way to go!! Thanks MT4x4

Pretty sure you will. I spoke to Chris about the same thing and he confirmed that my sliders were shipped via UPS and I'll get a refund for the difference compared to the shipping price I paid, plus $100 if they sell 50 units.
