Default Anyone ever bought from filterbag.com?

I am considering buying filter socks from filterbag.com out of the USA. You do have to buy in bulk but they are 60% cheaper than in Canada. Anyone know what quality their filter socks are like?

While I don't know about the quality, if you do order, I would love to share on shipping with you.

I ordered 25 of the PONG100P1P 7" bags and they are exactly the same as the ones that came with my Ecosystem holders that the LFS wants $30 for.

I got mine from www.filterbagS.com. The customer service is awesome and you get a discount after so many peices (20 or 25 I think). I have dealt with both places and liked filterbags.com better. Ask for Ginny.

Also, go for the Nylon monofilment mesh bags, they last way longer than the polyester ones. FWIW, I got NMO100P4POSS

If you want the 7" ers, NMO100P1POSS would be perfect.

Thanks for the info. I already ordered some from filterbag.com today. They have similar pricing. The nylon bags are twice the price (still half the price you pay at the LFS) but if you say they last longer, I will order some next time.

I bought a box of 25 of the 100 micron 7" plastic ring bags from them last year with no problems. I have a bunch left if you're interested.
