StringsAndBeyond.com hot deal for D'Addario EXL strings, or is there better?

[Number Of The Priest]

www.StringsAndBeyond.com is having a "12 days of Christmas specials" promotion: http://www.stringsandbeyond.com/twel...christmas.html

Particularly, Day 6 seems like the best bang-for-the-buck deal: http://www.stringsandbeyond.com/6thday.html

THIRTEEN sets of D'Addario EXL strings for USD$34.99 = USD$2.69 per set. Single sets are normally USD$4.49 (http://www.stringsandbeyond.com/dexlnirowoel.html). I normally buy them locally in Canada for the equivalent of USD$5.31.



THE BIG QUESTION: Can D'Addario EXLs be purchased for less than USD$2.69 elsewhere? I want to stock up, and none of the other big online vendors (JustStrings.com, Amazon, Best Buy) can compete. Am I missing smaller dealers?



Appendix and caveats:

Unfortunately you need to buy $35.00 to qualify for free shipping to USA and Canada, but I wanted to add some Dunlop John Petrucci Jazz III picks anyway, so that puts my purchase over $35.00.

Unfortunately the coupon code 15OFF at checkout doesn't qualify for these already inexpensive strings but it does apply to other merchandise.

Another deal alert for inexpensive D'Addario EXL strings. It's Christmastime, two years after I posted this original thread, and of course www.StringsAndBeyond.com has their annual "12 days of Christmas specials" promotion: https://www.stringsandbeyond.com/twe...christmas.html

Day 1 deal: D'Addario Electric 3 Packs Only $9.99. https://www.stringsandbeyond.com/1stday.html

Bonus Day 13 deal: Extra 15% OFF Storewide Sale. https://www.stringsandbeyond.com/13thday.html

Notice the fine print for Day 13 says:

* 15% OFF Coupon cannot be combined with other 12 Days of Christmas promotions

However, they CAN be combined! For the best deal, add at least $35 worth of Day 1 product (four or more 3-packs) to your cart to qualify for free US/Canada shipping, then apply the HOLIDAY15 coupon code in your cart. As a result, each pack of D'Addario strings is $2.83, which is the lowest price I've seen in the past two years.
