Are there differences in quality between the birdcage carriers offered on various vendors' websites? Seems kinda strange that there can be a $30 difference between sites (I've seen 'em from $35 to $65). Thanks.
I think they are all the same, but the shipping is way different. Sometimes more than the item.
I thought this at first too, but the least expensive birdcage carrier I could find was at DCG for $35 and UPS Ground is only $12 to my zip code. This is what led me to believe that there may be a significant quality issue for these that are less expensive. You know, getting what you pay for?
The one from overstock is the one you want- the birdcage slips off the top and its two piece.
The one from pjccmall ( I've bought ) the chip carrier slips down into the cage is locked down by two wood pins, then has a seperate plastic top that slides over the handle. 5 parts, bad enginering.
you can see subtle differences by looking at the top edge of the case, the good one has curved or bent plastic corners, and shows the two peices in another picture. The bad one has square top corners, looking like a full frame, and won't show a shot seperated.
Well, I ended up getting a birdcage carrier and 10 racks from DCG. I'll probably end up getting 10 4x25 cases for the rare occasion that I'll need to travel with my babies. Plus, you can never have enough poker gear, right?
