Ok, why are Hydrapaks so cheap on PricePoint??
I was almost tempted to purchase to Hydrapak Trackers (2) for 21 bucks, holds 70oz. Then I thought to myself, I better check here to see if these suck and if I better with something like the Camelbak Mule that runs 59 bucks at PricePoint. Im looking for a hydration pack for mtb racing (12hr races). Yes, I did a search and didnt find anthing specific on this issue.

Nikos, I think that they are possibly trying to undersell the others?
And just like those other guys, they get you on spare bladders?
Have you tried looking for a Platypus? Ive got one well it's a MEC house brand one with a Platypus reservoir , www.mec.ca after 4 years, I'm still on my first bladder, Ive used it cycling, skiing, at work on 30C days (line work in a bucket truck, awesome use!!) and it was almost half what a comparable camelbak would have cost.

Coz they'll get you on the delivery fee. I tried getting a wedge pack from them and the delivery fee is almost as much as the pack.
$6/pack or $10/pair
$5/shipping for one.

That's exactly what I was thinking. They sometimes do that on ebay. I usually check what the shipping charges will be for an item before bidding, and if it's some set price that's a rip off, I don't even bother bidding.

Just to answer why we get sell for a better rate on most of our products is we buy a great deal of inventory and dont drop ship. If you don't know the term "drop ship" that is when a company does not keep the inventory on hand on contacts a third party to fufill your order. We have our own warehouse and buy a great deal of product. This is why we have such an advantage.
Thanks,
Howard

No they're brand new. I built them myself. Just kidding.

Geez Howard, an almost 5 year old thread? Are y'all that desperate for business?
