Hello all,
Friday past, I went to my local Airgas to buy some new wire for my little Lincoln MIG. The 11# roll was $25.90 and the total out the door was $30 and change. I didn't think anything of it until I looked at the receipt at home. There is a separate line item on the receipt for Haz Mat Charge amounting to 10% of the cost of the wire. The guy behind the counter said nothing about this extra charge. Upon calling them, they said, "Yeah, it's #13 on the back." It turns out #13 on the back is a small-print disclaimer that basically says they are charging the fee, there is no law saying they have to, they just want more money.
Has anyone had experience with this? This is an Airgas facility in southern California.
Thanks for your time, Julian
