Anyone done business with chillywillies - R12 seller ?

[Mike Murrell]

I responded to another post here just below this one. Asked Larry Bible where he gets R-12 online.

I looked for this product awhile back on the WEB and wasn't impressed with the price online vs. what I can get locally.

Just a min. ago I stumbled across -> http://www.chillywillies.com

12 can cases for $149.00 + $9.95 shipping - that comes out to $13.25 a can - about half what they get locally for a single can.

Their WEB site claims 4-6 weeks for delivery. That issue and the price has me a bit leary.

Anyone here know these guys to be legit?

Thanks.

PS - again - not interested in eBay sellers - too many thieves in that world.

After looking at the ChillyWillies site, I can understand your hesitancy.

No phone number, only check or money order, 4-6 weeks delivery, way-low prices.

I'd feel safer with an eBay seller.

But the ChillyWillies name is cute.

I checked around with my local suppliers this morning. It's been awhile. Most no longer carry R-12 and the one who does gets $31.50 for a 12 oz. can that has to be ordered.

The local parts people I've spoken with indicated there's just not much demand for it anymore.

I found another site on the WEB -> http://www.refrigerantsales.com

12 can case for $250.00 - includes delivery - takes about 3-5 days. That comes out to $20.83 a can. They have an 800 # and claim to sell new Dupont R-12. Who knows?

The refrigerantsales folks are good people, I've ordered from them before. Good product, good customer service, recommended without hesitation.

The only way anybody can sell NEW Dupont r12 is if it's either stock over 10 years old or if it's bootlegged from overseas.

I went further into the refrigerantsales.com WEB site and found a section claiming they sell either Motorcraft or A/C Delco R-12? Who knows?

Jim - good to hear you're please with them.

R-12 is still produced in other countries like RACON in Mexico - which closed it's florocarbon plant in Wichita and moved it south. I used to cross the border into Mex and buy virgin Dupont branded R-12 and bring it back into US (only 128 oz at a time) You did need your 608 cert. The US does not make policy for the world.
