| TLC -question "I order from this lady. I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about her and the pads. These pads are true to the size she states. They are filled with lots of fluff and extremely absorbant. These are truly first class irregulars. The shipping is super quick too! I order 3 Boxes of 200 (total of 600) at a time. With shipping, 600 pads costs me $60.00 - You really can't beat $0.10 a pad and they are so thick and absorbant, I am truly amazed. Anyway, you have to e-mail her your ship to address and she will let you know what cost is, b/c she ships via Fed-X. Best Wishes http://cgi.ebay.com/200CT-HOUSEBREAK...QQcmdZViewItem" Hi, I was looking into these and for a box of 200, I was quoted two shipping prices. (not sure which one is correct yet) One was $15.86 and the other was $28.72. Did you pay really high shipping, too? It sounds like you really like them. When the dog pees on them, does it spread out throughout the whole pad or just a little bit? You know what I mean? Thanks! |

| Here is my review of the pee pads from the Ebay link I provided. $10.99 for a box of 200 pads. I buy 3 boxes at a time (600 pads) = $32.97 Fed-x home ground shipping to me is approx. $28.00 (for the 3 boxes) So, in the end it costs me about $0.10 a pad. I am in NY and the pads are shipped from Mass. (I believe). So, shipping could possibly be more for the farther away states. These pads are EXTREMELY thick. They are filled with lots of fluff. She has 2 kinds. Blue backing or White backing. The white ones also have the sticky strips down 2 sides to hold them in place. Either ones are ok. I do prefer the blue ones though, b/c I use the liter boxes with the pads inside. The pads are actually a little bit too big for the box, so I have to fold one side under, so I don't have the need to have the sticky strip. My 2 Yorkies pee alot. These pads hold the pee in place. There could be 3 or 4 pee spots on the pad and they are still intact. No running and spreading through the whole pad. In fact, there is so much fluff, that if I left a pee spotted pad down all night, the next morning in would be completely dry and could still possibly be used for more peeing. I do like to pick them up though after 2 to 3 pee spots. Sometimes, mine 2 will hold pee for a while and therefore, they could have a really big pee and then after 2 pee spots I throw it away. I took a chance and ordered some from someone else on Ebay, b/e they listed them as first quality and they were local and I needed some really fast. Well, they came the next day, but they were paper thin. I was sooooooooooooo disappointed. Those pads can only be used for 1 pee, b/c the pee runs and spreads pretty much through the whole pad ...anyway, if you'd like, I can take some pictures of them with pee spots on them so you can see how absorbant they are??? Just let me know. I hope this helped you in some way |

| Thanks so much! Yeah, I guess it would cost a bit more to ship to MN. It sounds like they are pretty good. Even with shipping, they would be less expensive than buying the Arm and Hammer ones at Target on sale. |

| For me, it is most cost effective to buy at least 3 boxes at a time. When they arrive, I open all the boxes. I store approx. 200 in the house and the rest I put into a large plastic sealed tub and it is kept in our storage room in the basement. The only other pads that I have bought are the ones from Petsmart. I don't know the brand, but they come in a big box - 100 ct. for around $30.00. In my opinion, these pads from ebay are the next level of absorbancey from those I bought from petsmart. I don't think you will be dissapointed at all |

| I checked with her too Nicole and shipping to Indiana is $41.64 for 3 cases to be shipped to Indiana. That comes to 12 cents a pad compared the 22 cents a pad that I use now. (Wal Mart OUT! brand). I hope to send in my order today. Thanks for the review and I'll let you know how I like them.

| I am going to try and take a picture of the pads tonight with pee spots, so you can see that the pee circles stay in the area. Roxy's pee spots can range 2 to 4 inches wide. TJ's pee spots range 3.5 to 4.5 inches wide. It all depends on 'how much pee' they actually hold. |

| After sending me two prices for shipping, the person hasn't gotten back to me again. Anyone else want to try and get the price for shipping to 55330 - the prices on one box and two boxes??? Maybe they will answer someone else! |

| That's the only thing about her. She will take anywhere from 1 to 3 days to get back to you with your ship to questions. I have been repeat ordering for about 1.5 years now. She actually has been recommeded on YT by others too, that's where I found her (Old posts ) |
