I got some emails about my VitaMix hookup. Sorry it took me so long to respond! I called my Vitamix guy last week and he gave me an affiliate code for free shipping:) His name is Jean-Pierre “JP” and his number is 1 800 848 2649 ext 2303.
My code for free shipping is (06-007554). The machine usually costs $499 plus $25 shipping, but Vitamix does demos at different shows and stores and then sells those units after using them only once! They still have the same great warranty and they sell them for $329! Still a lot but this machine is amazing. I use mine a ton. JP is awesome to deal with too if you have any problems:)
Let me know if you have any more questions:)
