    Anyone ever work with The Frugal Corner?

    Affordable stock kilts in 13 oz ($61) and 16 oz ($91), decent selection of tartans. They're based out of Anoka, Minnesota (yah you betcha).

    Anyone ever order from them?

    For my humble opinion the Frugal Corner makes decents kilts for every day use. They are better quality than SWK.

    I'll second the suggestion to search XMTS on the Frugal Corner especially concerning the advertised weight of their fabrics.

    To their credit there have been reports that The Frugal Corner's service has improved. Though if you decide to go with them I would highly recommend checking with them first to see if the exact item you wish to order is in stock and ready for immediate shipping.

    Hope this was of some help

    Cheers

    Remember, where ever you kilt shop, you can have any two of price, quality, or service.

    I was at their store a couple of weeks ago. I have also ordered off their website.
    What did you want to know specifically?

    Then and Now

    Since we have switched to a solution out of the UK as our online ecommerce cart, customer can no longer order an item that is out of stock...UNLESS they use the BACK ORDER tab and then you KNOW you are ordering an item that is out of stock.

    We are getting ready to allow the customer to select US Postal Service or UPS for a shipping option.

    We just did inventory today - We have over 1,200 kilts instock.

    Our goal is to be the largest kilt store in North America.

    and the rumor that The Frugal Corner might be moving to Maine, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, or maybe Tennessee is true! We will be relocating to ( ) in May.

    Why Tennessee? The proximity to Fed Ex at Memphis?
