Trekpak dividers

[Daveeli]

Has anyone bought anything from TrekPak? I wanted to purchase ten 46" x 2 3/4" dividers, 4 bags of pins and a cutting tool. The shipping was about $150, UPS ground. I couldn't believe it. When I contacted the company they told me the reason the shipping was so high was that they didn't sell as much as big companies like Amazon and B&H, so they didn't get discounts. I'd love to have the products, but geeze. Thoughts anyone?

get some sign material,which is what they are made of, and foam and make some for 50 bux

I bought my TrekPak stuff via Goose Gear and Equipt Expeditions.
The stuff is expensive, but nice.
I hardly paid for shipping at all through the two vendors above.

I also have the kit that fits into the Alu-box 42, 60 and 73 liter boxes, but no picture online.
I put it into the 60 liter box for dividers to separate the food, as that is my dry food box.

Thanks I'll try them.

Trying to buy from Equipt, but they drop ship from TrekPak, same shipping costs.
Goose Gear doesn't sell direct, have to buy from one of their dealers. Will try this.
This is harder than I thought.

Back when I bought my new cargobox in the fall, Goose Gear was selling direct, but it seems they are making you go through dealers now.
Hope you get a deal somewhere, not sure why shipping should be so high for such a feather weight product.

Sweet ATC gear in the drawer! ��

I just spent an afternoon doing two projects of "DIY TrekPak" and it was cheap!

For a total of $54, I got enough material to do both of these boxes with almost half the material left over:

The Pelican case is a 1450 and has 4" sides. The Sterilite tote is their "15 gallon industrial" model and the dividers are 9" tall. (Note that this is taller than the biggest "bulk" divider material that TrekPak sells.) Obviously I left off the foam for the bigger box since I use it for food - I just need containment, not as much "protection".

I still have enough Coroplast and EVA foam to do at least another small or medium Pelican-style case.

My full writeup is here, which might be helpful to you.

Nice job with the dividers. Will definitely work up something using the materials you have for my Pelican cases.

Thanks Paul, so great to have all off my tools organized.
Plus the rolls smell great too

Don't think they figure shipping costs by weight, they must use dollar amount. Seen that before. It's cheaper for me shipping cost wise, to do multiple orders. Go figure.

Herbie,
I can't see the pictures in your post.

However, I went to your site and read your write up. Great idea, good write up, and the links to the materials used are icing on the cake. This will make my OCD very happy.

Man, your write up was great. Just finished making our own dividers, they came out great. Still used TrekPak pins and their cutting tool. Thanks. Saved a bundle.
