Greetings all!
Well it pays to be the top US distributor for NORVENT tunnels as I just got word about a one time SPECIAL OFFER! Two months ago their primary person who operates the main machine for the production of tunnel orders had a serious medical issue (not related to work) and has been out of work since (thus the reason our regular tunnel order has been delayed).

To handle this they have had to train a new tunnel production crew. As such, the learning process involved a fair number of tunnels that did not quite meet their quality standard and thus could not be sold for full price.

Sooooo as their top distributor...we are being offered them at $50 off the regular US price. These prices do not come with any warranty. They may have an additional black mark on them from the machine or an extra fold in the material. But...they are perfect for home use! And...they are already made...so they can be shipped quickly.

Here is the URL to see what is available. https://dogtunnels.net/factory-seconds/
And here are the US prices.
10' 6" pitch $216
15' 6" pitch $260
20' 6" pitch $295

10' 4" pitch. $240
15' 4" pitch $291
20' 4" pitch $342

Everything will be delivered to my house. It’s much less expensive delivering it to one location on a pallet than it is to individual locations.

Ideally there would be close to 15 tunnels to make a full pallet

IF you think you may be interested in purchasing one of these factory second tunnels I will need to know by this Sunday at noon so that I can relay the message to NORVENT and they can remove those tunnels from the website.

PLEASE email me at [email protected] if you want one...or more and indicate the color, length and pitch. Ignore the Canadian pricing online...what is listed above is the US distributor pricing.

This option goes away Monday...so please get back to me quickly and I will let you know how to proceed from there once I relay the information to Norvent.
Thanks
Wendy
